Leftovers: The Hunt Is On

• The new Daily News blog is from MSNBC commentator Flavia Colgan (right), who lives in Wynnewood, and it’s called Citizen Hunter. I was kind of hoping for some kind of place you could register your complaints about other citizens and then hunt them down, but apparently it’s some sort of liberal online activism blog. Eh, that works, too. That leaves only one question: How is she not up for voting on this list? [Citizen Hunter]

• USA Today has declared that no team fits the surprising mold of a surprising World Series champ like the Philadelphia Phillies. But now that someone’s saying it could happen, are they a surprise anymore? Why did you jinx us? [USA Today]

• Apparently, since I’ve left Penn, students are now not taking Friday classes. (This story comes from the same reporters who will one day churn out stories like the one about Justice Scalia possibly giving an obscene gesture.) This, though, is better than my collegiate plan, which was to schedule Friday classes and then not go to them. [Daily Pennsylvanian]

• Rumor alert: Prep grad and former ‘It’ indie music writer Nick Sylvester may have finally been fired from the Village Voice.

• Okay, weird alert: Scranton’s old high school sports columnist apparently had a tying-young-girls-up fetish. But he says he never acted on it until the one time he got caught by the popo. [Delaware County Times via Deadspin]
