"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Another Absent-Minded Professor


' Professor Charged with Having Explosives


A man from Lycoming County has been charged with having explosives in his home.

Police in Williamsport charged Charles Guttendorf, 30, [Visiting Professor of Criminal Justice at Lycoming College,] Tuesday afternoon with having the explosive devices.

In June police looking for the source of a water leak found more than two dozen of the explosives. Guttendorf was not home at the time. The apartment building was evacuated until a special team got rid of the explosives.

Guttendorf said the devices were to be used in a World War II battle reenactment but he didn't go and forgot to disassemble the explosives.

Guttendorf is charged with three felony offenses.'
