Philadelphia Will Do  
 

Quickies: Captain Planet to the rescue!

• The other day there were three kids from University City High School who beat up a Drexel grad student for sport. And then, Wednesday, there was a melee during a University City-Southern girls’ basketball game. Seriously. Jesus. What is in the water in Schuylkill? Oh, right. [DN]

• The Inquirer goes all audio on us. Is it breaking news, a big story, audio from a press conference? No, it’s Tanya Barrientos and Karen Heller talking about the guilty pleasure of American Idol. There’s nothing guilty about watching Idol, sisters. [Inky]

• Fare thee well, Pennsauken Mart. You will always hold the title of “a crappier Franklin Mills” in my heart. [Inky]

• Rock on! Batty (and, well, entertaining) Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is shipping five million gallons of oil to the Philadelphia area in a deal brokered by Chaka Fattah. Prediction: The Evening Bulletin will today (or Monday, at the latest) bash Fattah for dealing with Chavez. [Inky]

    “There’s nothing guilty about watching Idol, sisters.”

    You misspelled “pleasurable”.
