Arkoosh and Lawrence Roll Up Sleeves For J&J Shot, But Not Joe Gale

by Gerry April 29, 2021

Montgomery County Democratic Commissioners Val Arkoosh and Ken Lawrence received their One-And-Done Johnson & Johnson vaccines in front of cameras and reporters on Wednesday (April 28) at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Norristown.

Arkoosh said, “What I want people to know is the FDA has determined that this is safe and effective. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I got it today.”

Republican Commissioner Joe Gale did not attend Wednesday’s vaccination “event.” According MontgomeryNews.com, “When asked if he’s received a COVID-19 vaccine, Gale said ‘I am strongly opposed to mandatory vaccinations, mandatory mask-wearing, mandatory business closures, and mandatory school closings. I am a strong supporter of health care privacy rights and will use all my power to fight against the tyranny of vaccine passports.'”

Family Learning To Luge

Want to Try Luge? From Lower Merion, It Starts With a Drive to Lake Placid

I was watching the Luge on NBC over the weekend. I thought it was boring, especially when juxtaposed against the more dramatic events, like curling.  The color commentator kept explaining how each “slider” was doing something slightly better or worse than the others, but to my untrained eye, they all looked the same: feet first, […]

These Garments Have Been Politically Maligned

Most non-Arabs who wear the keffiyeh do not intend it to be Anti-Semitic in any way. They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily. It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
