I’ll Take ‘Overstatement’ For $200, Alex

From a column by PACleanSweep leader Russ Diamond in today’s Evening Bulletin:

When is an election not an election? What is a “qualified elector?”

These two simple questions may play a pivotal role in what some observers are calling the most important political race on the planet. The answers could very well be the difference in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race and the future of not just America, but the entire world.

Yeah, the people in Darfur are on the edges of their seats waiting to see how the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is going to weigh in on the challenge to Carl Romanelli’s petition.

Goliath vs. Goliath

Metro columnist — who formerly wrote for the Inquirer — Clark DeLeon writes whines today about the sale of the Inqurier and Daily News, and reflects on a lawsuit filed by Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc., six-and-a-half years ago to stop Metro from being distributed by SEPTA:

In my first column almost six-and-a-half years ago, in the brand new Philadelphia daily newspaper with the snappy name — Metro — I wrote, “If you are reading this newspaper on your way to work or school, it represents a victory by the little paper that could over the media giants that tried to crush it in its cradle.”

Indeed. That little, plucky company-that-could, Metro, won the right to be distributed behind the turnstile on SEPTA platforms (an agreement that’s since been scrapped). Hey, wait, what’s that just to the right of DeLeon’s column?

Next week, DeLeon will write about a small, unknown start-up known as Wal*Mart, and how evil community members are attempting to keep it out of their neighborhood. And the following week, how those meanies in Nicetown are keeping out a little-known entrepreneur by the name of Donald Trump.
