(Philly.com) – (h/t Patriot Dreamer)…This story was updated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 27. ABOUT 11 P.M. on Sept. 9, dozens of youths with bats and pipes descended on a tidy residential area of Port Richmond looking for white teens who allegedly had attacked an African-American kid at Stokely Playground a couple of hours earlier.
Two fearful white teens spotted Mark LaVelle on Indiana Avenue near Belgrade Street and asked for help. Suddenly, the mob appeared. LaVelle, who said that he didn’t know the two kids, who looked to be 13 or 14, ran with them into his nearby house. (more…)

(Politico)…The Obama administration chose not to ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear a pivotal health reform case Monday, signaling that it’s going to ask the Supreme Court to decide whether President Barack Obama’s health reform law is constitutional.The move puts the Supreme Court in the difficult position of having to decide whether to take the highly politically charged case in the middle of the presidential election.

Vodka! It’s been around since the early Middle Ages, and although it’s been enjoyed as a popular spirit, it’s also had a long history of usage as a medicine, curing everything from infertility and colic to the plague. Considering its wide availability and relatively lower levels of toxicity than many of its chemical alternatives….why not consider its other possible uses?
Below I’ve started us off with fifteen potential uses, however, I’m sure some of you ‘professionals’ can add even more.

(h/t WW)…Today the National Transportation Safety Board released its first report on the Reno Air Race crash that killed P-51 pilot Jimmy Leeward and 10 others. We did our own digging, talking to racers and crew members with years of experience at Reno about what went wrong. A small flap’s failure probably caused this deadly crash—but the accident could have been much worse.
A week after the catastrophic crash at the Reno Air Races that killed 11 people and injured dozens more, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) today released its preliminary report on the incident. While the report revealed little new information of note, it confirmed the most salient details and laid the groundwork for a longer report that will take approximately a year to complete. Only when that final report is issued will the NTSB make recommendations that may affect future running of the Reno races—or, possibly, cause them to be shut down. (more…)

Well….you can add one more reason to enjoy flying to your list. The FBI is now investigating writing that appears to be Arabic on the underbellies of more than a dozen Southwest Airlines planes. The messages were first noticed by alert mechanics more than eight months ago, and as of yet no one or group has been held accountable.

Last week, Chief NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced that the agency had finally decided on a new launch system, named the Space Launch System (SLS), that didn’t have the fatal flaw of having anything to do with former President George W. Bush. But the design has new flaws, most of them related to the fact that NASA is incapable of making technical decisions uncorrupted by politics. Given the chance to start fresh, letting engineers design an optimal rocket based on the mission of getting men into space as efficiently as possible, they instead chose to do what NASA has always done since the 70′s. They designed the new rocket by committee, resulting in a Frankenstein monster using parts, engines and design aspects of many different launch systems, especially the Shuttle, so that existing technologies could be “leveraged,” meaning that existing contracting relationships in certain Congressional districts would not be disturbed too much and we could make use of some of the junk still lying around from the Shuttle fly-out. Brilliant. Save a little right now and waste a fortune in the long run. (more…)

Once again the rapper’s musical artistry and use of delicate wordplay are on full display in this latest video titled “My EBT”, by “Mrebt”... alias Stanley Lafleur. Celebrating the pure ‘coolness’ of any and all things gotten for nothing, Mrebt raps on and on saying, “My EBT…EBT…I just swipe my EBT”. Catchy isn’t it? I wonder what Michelle would think about his food choices? Oh, as you watch the video don’t forget to take note of the leather jacket, official Yankee’s cap, and diamond earrings….just sayin’.
The Treehouse salutes the tens of thousands (maybe dozens) of individuals who ‘occupied’ Wall Street hoping to be the starting point for the new anti-capitalist revolution. (Misfit Politics has the video.)
