This Man Is Very Upset Re: Library Closings

I Have No Idea

Via John:

I can only surmise that he is correct, and this will be on the front page of Philly.com any day now. I now do my part to spread the word.

Everything I Love And Hate About Philadelphia, In One Video

Philly EDGE posted this video of a DVD trailer for a calendar. I’m not quite sure how that works, but apparently Preston & Steve are putting out a calendar, and a DVD, and it’s pretty much porn. Because if there’s a best way to experience hot babes, it’s on the radio.

And what better way to top this story off with the news that this was screened at Mad River Manayunk.

Arlen Specter Has To Deal With This Shit Every Day

Who are the only people who will show up to a town hall meeting in York with Sen. Arlen Specter? Simple: Conspiracy theorists and jaded retirees. It must be some sort of cosmic retribution that Specter has to listen to 15 questions of this crap after a life in politics. Actually, I think this is what Arlen Specter’s hell would be like.

Yesterday, Specter fended a question from an old woman about the North American Union, which will apparently combine the U.S., Mexico and Canada and give us one currency, the amero. (Why wouldn’t they just call it the dollar? Weird.) Specter responds, though, with the kinds of tough answers a politician has to give to his constituents every day.

“It’s not gonna happen. We’re not gonna have a union with Mexico and Canada, we’re gonna stick with the good ol’ United States of America.”

I can’t imagine Specter wants to deal with another 6 years of this come 2010, but he is an old white man. Zombie Specter/Zombie Barbaro for president in 2016!

Down The Shore With Alli & Erica

Geeze, nobody did a parody of one those Philly.com beach girls so Philadelphia Weekly had to do it ourselves. Watch serious journalists Alli and Erica explore the beaches of Ocean City. Fantastic job, girls.

Rendell On Clinton

Here’s Ed Rendell, talking about Hillary Clinton dropping out of the race over the weekend. Meh. It’s not as good as Eagles analysis from the governor, I can tell you that.

Phillies Batting Stances Through The Ages

This is oddly extremely watchable and hilarious.

In other news, Phillies reliever Tom Gordon has now pitched in 45 (!) different ballparks in his career. Oh, and Brett Myers is not the worst Opening Day starter of all time, but he’s up there.

Poetic: Hippies Shut Down South Street

Here’s a bunch of protesters at Saturday’s Global Cannabis March down South Street. “THC, Fine by me!” was apparently this year’s chant du jour. The best sign I saw in there was “Hey America, let’s blow this joint: Liberate marijuana!”

And, yes, I’m still blogging at Drug Roar with the green and the pot logo and the hey hey. This week’s column is about criminalization of salvia divinorum (and other drugs) as a tool of first resort. It turned out okay.

‘PW’ Chatted With The Losers!

042308dicker.jpg

PW’s Alli Katz was apparently not as tired of the election as I was and lugged a video camera all across the city yesterday, including the Famous 4th Street Deli. There, she interviewed Anne Dicker and Johnny Doc, who both lost to Larry Farnese in the First District Senate Race. What a sad video!

She also got video of Obama at Pat’s (of course) and a near-riot of Obama and Clinton supporters outside City Hall, putting my work ethic to shame.

PW On The Election

Here’s a PW video from West Philly asking people about whatever is going on today. (An election of some sort?) And Steven Wells listens to right-wing talk radio all day, including the show of Bill Bennett, who still has a job somehow.

There will be more on the PW front page all night.
