What Is Early Word? The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.
About the Host Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years.
His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief." View Blogger profile.

The Weird, Wacky and Wonderful on the Web
Oklahoma's Tulsa Drillers gave out Moses bobbleheads, complete with Ten Commandments. No truth that first 10,000 customers were struck by lightning. Teams will do anything for a prophet these days. Moses Malone bobbleheads, that we understand. He was part of the last team to lead us to the Promised Land.
The minor-league Moses might have looked like this one, part of a selection of religious bobbleheads at isaacbros.com.
Virginia's governor pardons a convicted witch. We agree: It's not right to blame a woman for rotten crops and miscarriages just because she wears pants. But how come it took 300 years to figure this out?
Finally, a little video. It's news only in the sense that you've probably never seen anything quite like this before. It's a spoof of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" from www.myspace.com/shakiraspoof.
