Philadelphia Will Do  
 

Chris Freind Column Essentially Condensed PWD

Well, looks like I can retire. America’s Greatest Columnist™, Chris Freind, in a recent column:

  • “The organizers said that the fireworks were never ‘officially’ canceled and lit them off a half-hour later, completely disregarding those who had already left. Why did they do it? Obviously for the benefit of the six people at home who happened to be watching Channel 6 at 11:30, expecting the fireworks show.”
  • “What other city bombs its own citizens’ houses, destroying an entire city block in a spectacular (and internationally broadcast) firestorm? Name another metropolis that feels compelled to set up a criminal court in the bowels of its sports stadium to arraign fans on the spot.”
  • “The convention center is a bust because of the extortion-like hold the unions have over the city. Rather than attracting more conventions to the city - and with them more business, people, money (and tax revenue) - the city continues to lag far behind other cities with far less to offer. Just ask Pat Sajak of Wheel of Fortune.” [??—dmac]
  • “And no other team in all of professional sports history has ever had 10,000 losses.”

Yeah, that’s about it. Youse can just read those over and over and, there you go, daily entertainment.

    I love how he puts the fireworks display on the same level as the MOVE bombing.

    I know. I mean, destroying a city block is one thing, but disappointing all the suburbanite Hall and Oates fans? That just takes it to another level entirely.

  6. GFC Says: Jul 17 5:50 PM

    just go to fucking church where you belong and stop bitching about Philly.
