Jim Kenney Has This Blogging Thing Down Pat

Say what you will, but I think Councilman Jim Kenney has totally embraced blogging the way it’s supposed to be done. Good show.

What [Comment by James Kenney, YPP]

Mayor’s Race Getting Even More Hilarious Online

If there’s one way to become mayor, it’s certainly by having your supports post “Theme From Ghostbusters” parodies online:

Sing to the Ghostbusters theme…

Can’t limit his cash… he’ll beat your stash. Who ya gonna call? BOB BRADY!

Evans shouldn’t even run, when Brady’s limits are done. Who ya gonna call? BOB BRADY!

You phonies will cry, when the limits die. Who ya gonna call? BOB BRADY!

This will be fun, when the election is done. Who ya gonna call? BOB BRADY!

I ain’t affraid [sic] of no punks!

Not that politicians themselves look any better when they comment themselves online. Jim Kenney on his bill that would repeal campaign contributions:

I called [Fattah] on Wednesday. He was supportive of the proposal then. Brady also. Dwight was not willing to publicly support it, but was not strongly against it. Mike was a no from the get go.

See it was not Brady’s doing. It was my concern. I called them, except Knox, before hand. I have seen the Wizard of Oz and I do have a brain.

My brain tells me that Knox can win and that would be a travesty. [...]

Explain to me what is ethical about using your career earnings based on predatory lending and mortgage forclosures to run for mayor of Philadelphia. You then use the money to package yourself as a product of public housing and a rags to riches success story.

The only question is: When will Bob “Daaaaaa” Brady weigh in?

Where We Are (Comment) [YPP]
Jan. 23: Bob Brady: Da Da Da

Bob Brady: Da Da Da

Oh, yes, it’s on! Yesterday, Bob Brady announced he’ll be entering the race for mayor. Well, actually, he announced he will announce it Thursday, but, whatevs, same thing.

Since we don’t have any real new information yet — everyone knew he was going to enter — let’s take a look at something I, sadly, neglected to write about when it happened. Bob Brady has a blog. He has a blog on Young Philly Politics, one of the few political blogs that doesn’t make me want to tear my hair out. (That’s a compliment, guys, honest.)

Not only does Bob Brady have a blog, though, but he wrote this entry:

Hello everyone, Hope you all had a great holidays. I tried to write earlier, but I think I hit a wrong key and deleted myself, daaaaaa, my 9yr old granddaughter was not with me to help me, so I was in trouble…. I don’t get the chance to blog as much as I like to, had some time today because of the mummers cancellation. I have some tickets for the fancies today at 5pm at the convention center if anyone wants some, I will be there and can meet you at the door, it is a great show for all ages.

And this man wants to be our next mayor. Hot damn I love this city.
