WTF Fridays

Introducing "WTF Fridays", a run-down of some of the weeks most ridiculous news stories.

Gadhafi's collection of Condi photos - Which is creepier, the photo collection or the quote in the article telling us why this shouldn't come as a surprise?


Vengeful pooping - Does breaking into someone's house and pooping on their stuff really make you feel better about the break-up? Or is there just more rage now that you've been arrested?


PLCB being sued - Another shining example of competence from a bloated government regulatory body.

Are popular liquor brands really cheaper in PA?

The Pennsylvania LCB is claiming that some of the state store's best selling items are significantly cheaper in PA than in neighboring states. The Board is trying to demonstrate that state stores have better pricing than residents like to believe and that the idea of cheaper liquor in neighboring states is in fact just a myth. But their evidence begs the question: Will PA residents really pay more for their "favorites" if liquor stores are privatized or are these brands popular in PA simply because they're cheap here? If selection increases & prices decrease with privatization, as supporters predict, then it makes sense to assume that the preferences of consumers will change accordingly.
