Leftovers: Party On North Broad
• Fight on, Temple! The Owls ended their 20-game losing streak Saturday with a 28-14 win over Bowling Green. (The Falcons, naturally, beat them 70-7 last year.) Could a bowl game be next? Uh, no, but this guarantees a few more “Golden Age of Temple Football” billboards on I-95 next year. And, for Temple, a win is a golden age. [Inquirer] • Oh, yeah, if you’re wondering, apparently Temple football fans can hold a grudge about being called a crappy football team for a long, long time. [Temple Football Forever] • Hazleton, Pennsylvania, the first city to pass an anti-illegal immigrant ordinance in America, is now suffering from businesses closing (in the Hispanic business district) and such. But the mayor sympathizes with the business owners, so, y’know. [Inquirer] • As much as I hate podcasts, there’s a new podcast up on SoundAboutPhilly by the always-entertaining Once Upon A Nation people. Play it for your out-of-town friends. [SoundAboutPhilly] • A former Republican staffer in Bucks County claims he was fired after criticizing an email sent by GOP supervisor Fred Gold. The email featured a topless woman promotion “Breast Appreciation Day” — ho ho — and a sentence saying, “Beats the shit out of Martin Luther King Day, doesn’t it?” Gee, this ex-GOP staffer should learn that sexual correspondence over the Internet is part of the Republican party’s platform.
