That horse gets more hits than we do. And Barbaro doesn't even write his own material.

XPoNential Music.org puts in one place WXPN-FM's blogs, podcasts, daily mp3 downloads, live and archived concerts and three streams of music, including its new rougher mix from Y100.

Boston plans to go wi-fi. Unlike Philadelphia, which has turned to Earthlink to develop the system due next year, Boston sought a non-profit to head the project to provide low-cost, wireless Internet access. More about the new Wireless Philadelphia czar from Civil Defense.

Farewell service for one of The Philadelphia Eleven. They made international news in 1974, 11 women ordained as Episcopal priests in defiance of church rules. Four of the five surviving pioneers traveled to Maine to say goodbye to the Rev. Katrijna Martha Welles Swanson.

Philebrity's flogging an exclusive, how a conservative Northern Liberties businessman is leading a boycott against Philadelphia Weekly for having "slowly turned into a leftist rant." He didn't like the alt-paper's cover piece on Michael Smerconish, the clean-pated pundit.

The New York Times remembers it was about 30 years ago today that Legionaires' Disease put the Bellevue Stratford on CDC's map.

Cinnaman wonders if he's reading the fine print correctly. Will Soviet troops be guarding U.S. military personnel in Iraq?

The link under "That horse gets more hits than we do. And Barbaro doesn't even write his own material." is incorrect.  It should be www.timwoolleyracing.com".  Thanks.

Barbaro is such a class act, and his caretakers have shown themselves to be the same with the tender loving care they give him.  I pray for Barbaro to hang in there and amaze everyone.  I think he will make it.

Barbaro's situation has brought forth the very best in humankind.  It is our traditional basic God given gift to have hope, and to truly know what love is.  
I thank God every single moment, that in our current state of war and turmoil, there is good.
It is fact that love outweighs negative energy.  
All of us who are cheering on Team Barbaro possess that hope!  I am proud to be onboard his fan base.
