[ ] Two women have been charged in an alleged sexual assault of six teen boys during a sleepover at a Lower Makefield (Buxco) home. (
CBS 3)
From the post:
…Authorities said the teens, ages 14 to 16, were attending a sleepover at a Lower Makefield home. (One woman) allegedly engaged in sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old minor as (the homeowner) encouraged the other teens to listen in on the act from a bedroom doorway, police said.
…(The first woman) exposed her breasts to the teens, open mouth kissed some of the minors and entered a shower with a juvenile. …
Philly EDGE notes that while the alleged acts are indeed twisted and criminal, nowhere in the story do the boys seem like reluctant participants.
And it would not surprise us if they talk about this with their friends, like, forever.

Harmless, my ass. Fear the turtle. Someone get M. Night Shyamalan to make a movie about this.
[ ] The Pennsylvania Senate approved a compromise on the statewide smoking ban bill and forwarded it to Gov. Rendell. If, as expected, Big Ed signs it, Pa. will become the 33
rd state to ban smoking in most workplaces. (

From the story:
…Opponents have derided the bill as big government playing havoc with small business owners, potentially hurting neighborhood taverns and eateries where people stay for hours, smoking.
It would take effect 90 days after being signed into law, banning cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking in restaurants, office buildings, schools, sports arenas, theaters and bus and train stations.
By no means will Pennsylvania's law be the nation's toughest: A dozen exemptions will ensure that smoking can continue at numerous bars and taverns, portions of casino floors, private clubs and elsewhere. In fact, Philadelphia's year-and-a-half-old ban goes farther in some places, banning smoking in the two casinos that are planned on its waterfront.
Only Philadelphia's ban, the only active local smoking ordinance in the state, can be enforced under the bill. All other counties and municipalities would be prohibited from enacting their own restrictions….
The bill was tabled last week when the Pittsburgh and Scranton areas tried to get the same privilege as Philadelphia – their own law – which they never will.
