Hamilton Nolan · 08/10/11 08:29AM
Philadelphia is under siege by teenage flash mobs! Ha. Not really. A "flash mob" is when several dozen aspiring standup comics use the internet to meet in a certain place to do a funky collaborative dance.

What has 26 year-old Lee Grace Dougherty been up to lately? Oh just going on an interstate crime spree with her two brothers (including the one who tried to sexxx up an 11 year-old girl from MySpace) involving shooting up a cop car with an AK-47 and robbing a bank with machine guns and becoming the target of an intense FBI search and also become the most wanted fugitives in the South, because Lee is from Florida, naturally, and also a stripper, not that that matters in this particular case.

No red flags there!
