All the juicy news you'll miss if you don't pick up today's paper.

Your A Million Stories correspondents go to last weekend's Uni-Tea rally, where "organizers have rounded up every single non-white right-winger they could find and put them on stage, in front of God and everyone, to prove, once and for all, that the Tea Party and racism are not synonymous." Also, AMS looks into SEPTA's possibly dangerous, 10-year-old track circuits, and then gets excited about Boston College's DROP report.

Dwayne Booth, our newest contributor, muses on former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Aretha Franklin making music, among other shitty things that happened last week.

— ManOverboard! knows the difference between those clean-cut, bad-cops stories that Mayor Nutter and Police Chief Charles Ramsey love to tell, and the ones that are a tad more complex … like the three times (at least) that police killed homeless and mentally ill individuals in 2009. Do you?

Jeffrey C. Billman urges you Dems to vote in the upcoming midterm elections, even if the party isn't exactly perfect.

— Bell Curve makes fun of Mayor Nutter, the Gaming Control Board and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

— And lastly, don't miss the bang-up cover story Matt Stroud wrote this week, about the allegedly horrific conditions of a prison in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
