DAILY GRINDER: Santorum Drops Out After Porn Industry Pressure

I'll get your children where you can't protect them: Their dreams!
Sweet headline, right? It’s like reading something at a Fox News-owned website. Technically true but utterly false! [For the record, as we blogged yesterday, the porn industry decided to take on Rick Santorum’s statements that he’d attempt to ban hardcore pornography with a mass-masturbation festival; this happened before he suspended his campaign.]
Tell us how you really feel, Ed Rendell: “The Republicans have done everything they could since the time of the straw poll in Iowa last summer to today to screw this up for themselves. It’s been a clown show.”
WHYY asked readers to fill in the blank: “The legacy of Occupy Philadelphia is _______” and one of their responses was this: “…rape, filth, commies, defecating on police cars, vandalism, murder, more rape, arson, more filth, dead grass, delayed revitalization of park space, tax dollars wasted on babysitting the animals. I’m just getting started by the way.” Dead grass?
Developer Bart Blatstein has bought the former State Office Building at Broad and Spring Garden and is ready to turn it into…wait for it…still waiting…cue to the drums/cymbals…a luxury apartment and retail complex!
Philadelphia signed an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency yesterday to invest $2 billion in “green” infrastructure. Some have blamed new EPA regulations for the closing of Philly-area oil refineries.
Former President Bill Clinton is raising the stakes: He will actually rally for Attorney General candidate Kathleen Kane on Thursday at Upper Moreland High School. Her opponent, Patrick Murphy, endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008.
That took balls: After Santorum dropped out of the presidential race yesterday, Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey endorsed Mitt Romney.
