Only in York County.
Best story of the day: "Four people were charged after a melee involving a baseball bat, a samurai sword and a pit bull outside of a Wrightsville bar in August."
Another passage from the story: "Police said they found several people lying on the sidewalk, on the Wrightsville Bridge and in the middle of Hellam Street, also known as Route 462."

The U.S. Congress no longer has any authority left. Voters nine months ago gave Democrats control of both houses with a clear mandate to bring the boys home. Yet they still haven't set a deadline to pull out the troops. Democrats continue to allow the unelected military to set the terms of a debate on whether a paltry increase of 30,000 extra troops has been a success. American democratic institutions have become completely incompetent and irrelevant. Congress just keeps following Dubya's lead - and passing the buck. Dubya is responsible for the U.S. presence in Iraq, now and for the rest of his term. But by pretending that the decisions rest not with him but with the military, Dubya forces the Democrats to criticize a respected general. That makes them look unpatriotic, as if they don't support the troops. It's a clever political maneuver, but it comes at a grave risk. The principle of the civilian leadershiop's supremacy over the generals is being weakened! Americans now believe the military has the best hope of solving Iraq, and an America that prefers generals to elected officials is a very unnerving development. Yours Truly, The Independant Liberaltarian.
