The Bell Curve

CP's Quality-O-Life-O-Meter

[-5] Members of Gov.-elect Tom Corbett's transition team donated a total of $1.9 million to his campaign. "The next step in my transition is to hollow me out," says Corbett. "A whole lot of hands have got to fit up there."

[+5] The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board takes away Foxwoods Casino's license. A landmark victory for vacant, neglected waterfront properties everywhere.

[0] The organizers of Philadelphia's first Type-In rally say typewriters are making a comeback. But they say it very slowly, and with a lot of clacking, and if they make a mistake they have to start over on a whole new piece of paper. Also, they're wrong.

[-1] Some residents tell the Inky they aren't sure if selling off the state's liquor stores will save or cost taxpayers money. And if there's one thing residents are qualified to tell the media, it's complex revenue projections.

[-2] Amid financial troubles, the Philadelphia Housing Authority spends $2,500 to send staffers to the Pennsylvania Society event. "Look at Mayor Nutter doing something stupid!" shouts John Street, fleeing while our backs are turned.

[+1] Joe Sestak calls the national tax deal a "backdoor stimulus." OK we'll try it, but start slow.

[-4] The SPCA finds 63 dogs and one cat in a New Jersey woman's home. "I was suffering from Barkholm Syndrome," the cat tells Oprah.

[0] A U.S. District Court judge deliberates on whether school administrators can ban the word "boobies." Now hearing Bra v. Board of Education, case number 5318008.

[+7] Eagles stun the Giants, 38-31, Sunday in a victory that's being called the greatest comeback in team history. NY Giants fans squeeze out another tear, put in their Blu-ray of that Patton Oswalt football fan movie from last year that was supposed to be pretty good that we never got around to watching. Think it was called The Fan or something like that. Yeah, The Fan. Somebody should IMDB that to make sure.
