First off, the above photo: Awesome.
Second: The plucky political reporters over at the Inquirer are up in Polish Country, covering the challenge to Bob Brady’s nominating petitions. So far, there have been three major developments:
- Judge Toole ruled Bob Brady must testify, thereby forcing him to miss an important House of Representatives vote on Hurricane Katrina funding. Oh no! How will that ever pass! The Inquirer: “‘I’m trying to get to a vote,’ he said. ‘It’s a shame to be here for this.’ He notes the votes awaiting him on the House floor, at 2 p.m., ‘Katrina, more funding.’ He rolls his eyes, looks at his watch.”
- The second witness for Paul Rosen — that’s Tom Knox’s lawyer — has gone missing. The missing witness is a member of the Carpenter’s union. One can only assume Bob Brady has killed him and feasted on his innards afterward.
- Milton Street dropped his challenge against Bob Brady, since he doesn’t want a white guy to win. Milton: “I don’t want to go in the black community and hear them say, ‘You made Tom Knox mayor.’” Then he said “Watermelon Man,” draped himself over a coffin and belted out an Aretha Franklin tune.
Oh, and Brady’s defense is that since he listed his pension on his federal financial disclosures (for Congress), he didn’t need to list it on his mayoral nominating petitions.

Actually the hearing is in City Hall. The judge is FROM Luzerne County. Somehow they were magically able to transport him from there to Philly for the hearing.
Maybe you could read a little bit about a story before writing about it next time?
Wouldn’t reading about a story first kinda ruin it though? I mean, you’d know the ending already?
But how amusing would it be if the Inqy reporters went to Luzerne County to cover something happening in Philly?
