WASHINGTON (AP) – The Secret Service acknowledged Thursday it is investigating whether its employees hired strippers and prostitutes in advance of President Barack Obama’s visit last year to El Salvador. The disclosure came hours after the Homeland Security secretary assured skeptical senators that a separate prostitution scandal in Colombia appeared to be an isolated incident. A spokesman for the Secret Service, Edwin Donovan, said the agency was investigating allegations raised in news reports about unprofessional behavior that have emerged in the aftermath of the prostitution scandal in Colombia. The latest, by Seattle television station KIRO-TV, quoted anonymous sources as saying that Secret Service employees received sexual favors from strippers at a club in San Salvador and took prostitutes to their hotel rooms ahead of Obama’s visit there in March 2011.

Gronosky and Williams were originally wanted in connection with a daylight armed robbery at a strip club in Plymouth, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre, on March 15. The two men allegedly held the owner of the club at gunpoint and robbed more than $3,500 from him.
The men were also wanted for the alleged burglary, on March 23, of a state trooper’s home. The trooper, who was on duty at a casino at the time of the burglary, reported that guns, ammunition, and electronics were stolen from his house. Police have arrested the trooper’s 23-year-old ex-girlfriend in connection with the burglary. Courtney Sadusky told police that she helped Gronosky because her current boyfriend owed him money for drugs and she feared for her safety. She is accused of driving the getaway vehicle for the March 15 robbery and with driving the men to the trooper’s house for the March 23 burglary.
Gronosky had last been seen by state police early Friday morning, at the same club he is acc …

Precious few are the opportunities to get your gay on beyond the Gayborhood. And if you’re looking for Go Go Boys that aren’t straight gym rats, you’re out of luck in this city. Woody’s and iCandy do a good job of serving up beefcake in the form of strippers and dancers, but, really, not that many gays look like those dudes. Well, Paul Blore and Marquise Lee have a thing for Go Go Boys. They love em’. And after a trip to New Orleans, where the Go Gos are plentiful, they looked around Philly and thought ‘This won’t do.’ So they’re doing something about it.
The Trestle Inn will host, perhaps, a regular Wednesday night (?) party called Not Safe For Work Dance Party: Drinks + Twinks + Ink. Boasting “Hot & Sweaty GoGoBoys All Night,” the party proclaims the music that will be played as “Sissy Bounce/Electro/Slut-Pop.” Ya know, the usuals. The Trestle has never been so gay. There’s no cover a …

Police were first called to the club to investigate an accident after the shooting when the two bleeding victims attempted to leave in a white Mercedes, perhaps to go to a hospital.
Apparently the guy that was shot ended up crashing into a parked vehicle on South Broad Street, said Pete Szpakowski, city police spokesman. When police got there, they realized Victim 1 was shot in the chest and the abdomen, and the second victim was shot in the left leg.
And that apparently happened in the club, after some type of argument, and the shooter was thrown out of the club. Bouncers forced him out of the club. And then apparently he shot into the club, injuring both of these victims.
