[78-L] HMV in doggie do?

[Michael Biel]

That article concerned the HMV stores, not the record company.  But 
actually it is Camden New Jersey which is REALLY in doggie do.  You 
might have noticed in the news that the mayor has laid off HALF of the 
POLICE and one third of the firemen.  When I was in college in 
Philadelphia in the mid-60s, Camden was a a place you RUSHED through as 
FAST as you could after you went over the Ben Franklin Bridge.  The 
comedy news program "The Daily Show" just did a piece about the crisis 
showing Camden as a video game of doom, and one of the shots was a dog 
with a human head in its mouth.  No mention of Little Nipper, but that 
was my interpretation.  HMH, His Master's Head.
