I Know John Street is Corrupt, But Is Philadelphia Really This F'ed Up?

City sucks IMO.

Great. My sister just moved way west of Uni City...now I'm gonna have to pull an Escape from NY joint and fly up there in my invisible hydroplane.

Rendall is a piece of crap jackass. Pittsburgh hates him with a passion and it now seems Philly is starting to hate him.

I have never voted for a Republican Governor, but Lynn Swann's getting my vote this time around.

Also under the premise of Philadelphia, WTF,

Though not exclusively Philly, many tiles are here.

That article is an editorial from the Daily News, which is maybe a half step above the National Enquire.

There's a heat wave on now. When it gets hot in the city, people get angry and start shooting each other, no big deal.

In all seriousness, Philadelphia is a wonderful city with a ton of potential, but Street is a terrible, corrupt mayor. With that being said, I wouldn't pay much attention to an editorial from the daily news.

It was linked through on the Philly.com site, so I thought it might be a more legit editorial (figured it was pretty extreme, but still WTF)... btw does the Philly Daily News = NY Post? Or more tabloid-y?

The author asking for the national gaurd, or making references to Bush and the boarder, pretty much tell me that that is all a bunch of bullshite.

Quids - despite how extreme the editorial is, you wouldn't read an editorial in the NY Post or LA Daily News like this (at least I don't think you would).

It's probably pretty much equivalent to the NY Post - except we're talking 'bout Philly here, so that might make it a step below.

The odd thing is that the Inquirer and Daily News are published by the same company (hence the same website), they're just aimed at different demographics.
