Quickies: To be fair, it’s the best coffee shop run by an Internet bank in America• The New York Times on going to Philadelphia: get your coffee and wifi at the ING Direct Cafe, dawg! And open an Orange Savings Account! [NYT] • Craig LaBan recaps his year: Nothing got four bells — whatever that means — and only one restaurant (Haru) was bad enough to not get any recommendation at all. Oh, snap. Better keep extra disguises when you’re around 3rd and Chestnut, Craig. [Inky] • New Action News sports anchor Jamie Apody is a a second-degree black belt in karate. This kitten’s got claws! How long until 6 ABC has her do some headache-inducing “Challenge our anchor to a sport!” gimmick? I give it two weeks. [DN] • And — it’s in the middle of this story, so you gotta read — but one little documentary makes a woman sign the “Free the Elephants” petition. A whopping 100 signed, which means about .015% (note: figure made up) of the people in the gallery care about elephants. Eh: As long as the zoo keeps those red pandas, I’m down. [Inky] • Hey, how about this one? La Salle’s basketball team is 6-0 after a four overtime win against Central Connecticut State. And nobody arrested! Nobody! Whoo! [DN] |

Please note that although 100 signatures may not sound like a lot, the activists were at the Gallery for just over an hour and were constantly busy during the demonstration. The group, Friends of Philly Zoo elephants, have obtained more than 4,000 total signatures and counting.
And why sneer at someone who was educated by “one documentary” on the plight of elephants? Perhaps you should learn more about this issue before posting - maybe start with “one documentary” and go from there.
