Cleanup A Success No Thanks To Me

Michael Nutter was scheduled to announce this morning the citywide cleanup Saturday was a success; if cleanliness is next to godliness, then Philadelphia has escaped hell for purgatory.

On a report on Fox Saturday night, the mayor said that a clean city is a safe city. And then he added: “23,000 public employees, a million and a half citizens, we can’t do it all by ourselves. Your work, Kerri-Lee, and the many others who have gotten involved in this, it really makes a difference.”

Woo-hoo! Anybody tells you Philadelphia Will Do makes a difference, you can tell them I didn’t post about the citywide cleanup¹ and that I strive every day to not make a difference. I do enjoy Nutter’s shirt from benevolent corporate sponsor Verizon. There is no doubt Nutter is simply trying to emulate Bernard Hopkins and his GoldenPalace.com temporary tattoo.

Report from Fox 29’s Kerri-Lee Halkett after the jump. (Standard Redlasso it-could-kill-your-computer warning.)

Philly To Get Shittier

There’s an exhibit traveling the country currently titled “The Scoop on Poop.” It is, naturally, all about feces and how fun it is, or something.

Anyway, check out the AP article about the exhibit, which is currently at the Miami Metrozoo:

Miami is the exhibit’s second stop after opening at a Virginia museum in May. After the exhibit closes at the Metrozoo in January, it will make stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Redding, Calif.

Oh, was there any doubt.
