Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board pares down inventory on wine and spirits
Prices on Cabo Uno Tequila, Little Penguin Pinot Noir and one-liter bottles of Bushmills Irish Whiskey will be slashed in Pennsylvania. Dan GleiterThe Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is reducing its inventory and will sell more than 400 spirits and wine at clearance prices starting March 1. Get them while you can. Before long, these and about 400 other products, will disappear from the state’s liquor and wine store shelves. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has pared down its inventory and starting March 1 will sell more than 160 spirits and about 240 wines at clearance prices. Many say the LCB is acting more like a private enterprise. Does the LCB’s latest move offer yet another argument the state’s liquor system should be privately run? The wine and spirits being yanked from shelves would remain available for shoppers to purchase in a private market, said State Rep. “Now you won’t even be able to get them ... It’s nothing new for the LCB to do periodic inventory reviews.

“Everyone’s Favorite Felon”: An Interview with Bernie Ellis « Democrats for Progress
“Convicted felon.” What comes to mind when you read those words? Perhaps you immediately visualize a mobster, a Capone, a Gotti. Or maybe a white-collar crook, a Madoff, a Skilling, an Ebbers. Or a murderer, a rapist, a bank robber, a gangbanger. Bernie Ellis is a convicted felon. While he avoided prison time, he received four years of probation (later reduced by half) and spent 18 months confined in a Bureau of Prisons halfway house in Nashville. He also forfeited 25 acres of his beloved Natchez Trace farm – a parcel that netted the government a paltry $35,000 at auction – and, effectively, his consulting career (he’s a public health epidemiologist). A piece he contributed last week to the Democrats for Progress Blog fills in more of his astonishing story, and his current efforts to secure a Presidential pardon. Between meetings with Tennessee legislators and other errands as he prepares his pardon petition, he graciously took the time to give us an interview. Mr. Why indeed…
A man in Thailand started a religion around The Big Lebowski
It was only a matter of time. We’ve seen Big Lebowski festivals and convenience stores, so someone basing a religion around it was clearly in the cards. What I did not see coming was the religion being centered in Thailand. Don’t be fatuous, CNN: Dubbed “Church of the Latter-Day Dude,” the group also invites “mellow, unflashy chicks who hang around in their bathrobes and take baths with candles and whale sounds,” says the religion’s Dudely Lama, Oliver Benjamin. “Everyone feels oppressed by society’s pressures,” he says. Well, there you go. “The reason I embarked on a 10-year backpacking journey was so I could avoid being brainwashed by the machine of industry, and find the space and freedom to indulge my imagination.” That’s ridiculous. People who aren’t cool, ultimately go crazy, Oliver warns. (*spends all 3rd period giving swirlies*) I AM THE SANEST MAN ALIVE! “Ideally, we’d like to help people find ways to earn money with less work, but of course that’s always a challenge. “Poverty?
Oprah Winfrey has a secret sister
Oprah Winfrey revealed on her television show Monday morning that she has a half-sister she knew nothing about. The sister, Patricia, had been kept a secret by Oprah's mother who put her up for adoption at birth. "For the most part my life has been an open book," Oprah said. "I thought nothing could surprise me but I was wrong." Winfrey said she chose to make the announcement herself so the media would not exploit it. Her sister, Patricia, spoke about being put up for adoption at birth, spent time in foster care and longed to be reunited with her foster mother. By 17 she was a single mother, Patricia said, and six years later she had another child. The agency contacted Patricia in 2007 with the news that her birth mother did not want to meet her on the same day she saw a local news story that had an interview with Oprah's mother which gave her information that matched up with what Patricia knew about her birth family. "We realized that Oprah could be my sister," Patricia said.

How did we get here? We’re beginning to feel overwhelmed by the frequency with which Facebook links are starting to appear on many of the sites we visit in our daily routines, so we decided to do something about it. What does it do? This browser extension stops Facebook social plugins—including those within iFrames—from running on sites other than Facebook itself. What about Facebook Connect? Don’t worry: sites that use Facebook Connect for sign in purposes, or that use Facebook as a conduit for other functionality will continue to work as expected. Who are you guys?
