Odds ‘N’ Ends
• A reader passes along this comic book (or strip? or something?) about superheros in Philadelphia. Apparently they’re called in by a cop who needs superheroes to fight criminals? Right, right. [Komikwerks] • Crime down in SW Philly as first-time offenders learn to make better choices. Ahh, yes. Also notable: This article contains a person with the first name of Xzayvion. [Daily News] • U.S. Airways is eliminating free snacks for its passengers come June 1. All that and more from the #1 most hated airline in the business, which controls most of the #1 most-loved airline in the business, somehow. [Phila. Business Journal] • The dude who Christine Whitman frisked was shot and killed in Camden. The backstory: “A trooper snapped photographs as Whitman - smiling broadly - searched Rolax as he stood with his hands against a wall. Neither the police nor the governor found drugs or a gun on the teenager.” Ahh, yes. Law enforcement at its finest. [AP/Philly.com] |
