Everything Is Finally Happening!

What’s this, the Phillies win and suddenly everything happens? Our long national nightmare, the 2008 presidential election, is almost over. Yes, both the Internet and the real world are going to be unbearable tomorrow, but look at it on the bright side: At least there’s a good chance a cute guy or girl will tell you to vote for Obama.

But that’s not all. The Fumo trial is in full swing. A judge will rule on the Fox Chase Cancer Center expansion within 30 days. (If you’re from the Northeast, you know this is one of the two things people complain about, the other being how horrible the Northeast has gotten.)

City Council even moved along the Gallery casino project in Chinatown, though don’t think that’s coming anytime soon. Never doubt the ability of Philadelphians to delay something, even if they can’t stop it.

These are exciting times, people. Not because these actual days are exciting (they’re not), but because all these stories that have been around forever, forever ever, forever ever are winding down and oh thank God this is almost as exciting as the Phillies winning the World Series.
