Getting more difficult to stand for hypocracy
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
Okay, apparently the Pennsylvania Republican Party can’t stand for judge candidates who support peaceful protest, but can stand for gerrymandering.
This week the state GOP sent out a mailer attacking Democratic judicial candidates saying “Vote for Judges who share our values and stand for the flag.”
Then days later, the state GOP sought a stay on federal...

By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
Phantom of the Opera
It was inevitable that “The Phantom of the Opera” would become the longest-running musical of all time — both on Broadway and London’s West End.

On Stage: Santo still sweet with time off from HoneyHoney
By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
It would make sense if the opening act on October 30 Boot and Saddle (1131 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 215-639-4528, www.bootandsaddlephilly.com) were called Honey.
The opener for headliner Willie Watson is Suzanne Santo, who is one-half of the L.A.-based Americana band HoneyHoney.

Turning to the experts at No. 109 & Houppette
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times

Thankfully for all of you, I have friends with REAL knowledge....
