Failed Faith Healers Get Probation, Not Jail

President Obama to Tout Clean Energy Initiatives at Penn State. Part of the plan, simply enough, is to get rid of longstanding tax breaks for oil and gas and use that money to incentivize clean energy production, which he mentioned in the State of the Union.

Why Did the Cops Shoot Harry Bennett? The Scoop is a bit behind the 8-ball here—this story came out last week—but it’s worth a read anyway. According to witnesses, police officers shot a mentally ill man after Tasering him three times, then dragged his body out of the house by the ankles, as his head banged on the front steps. The dailies reported none of this, meanwhile; the official word from the cops seemed sufficient. [City Paper]
