Kevin Stutler received a ticket from the City of Philadelphia.
Michael Smerconish: Send Philadelphia’s recycling nannies to the landfill
IF THE Streets Department called Central Casting and requested a “greenie” – and I say that without derision – Kevin Stutler would’ve gotten the role.
He’s a vegetarian who recycles religiously. And the former owner of a 20-acre organic farm (complete with solar-warmed showers) who’s still an organic gardener.
He grows worms in his garage. And collects old batteries off the street so their toxicity doesn’t end up in local soil or water.
And he lives, where else, in Mount Airy! Yet he’s among those who’ve been nabbed by Philadelphia’s trash police.
The city that’s undertaken a system of “rolling brownouts” to save a couple of million dollars in firefighters’ overtime has also unleashed almost 50 inspectors to dig through your trash and make sure you’re recycling.
As the Inquirer’s Melissa Dribben reported last weekend, Stutler got nailed with a $50 fine earlier this summer after failing to separate a single plastic soda bottle – it wasn’t even his, he picked it up off the street – from the rest of his trash.
A media-twisted idea of normalcy
Last week’s most telling news story had nothing to do with the mosque. Or the election struggles of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Or the president’s vacation at the Vineyard. Not even PHA director Carl R. Greene.
No, the one story that reveals more than any other about what is going on in America concerns the Miss Universe contest.
Many favored the Philippines’ Maria Venus Raj to win this year. But her quest for the crown came to a halt when, in the final round, she had this exchange with Billy Baldwin, one of the judges:
Baldwin: “What is one big mistake that you’ve made in your life, and what did you do to make it right?”
Miss Philippines: “Thank you so much, sir, for that wonderful question. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, Las Vegas. You know what, sir? In my 22 years of existence, I can say there is nothing major, major, I mean, problem that I have done in my life. Because I am very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I am here. Thank you, thank you so much.”
There has been rampant speculation that her answer cost her the crown, and I think I know why: Nobody believed her. A 22-year-old with no baggage? No way. Couldn’t be true. Makes no sense.
Dom talks to Alveda King, niece of Dr. Marting Luther King Jr. about her appearance at Glenn Beck’s rally.
