This may take a bit to set up…. so bear with me.
Two weekends ago, our friends Mark & Cory from Philadelphia (my hometown) came to visit. PatriotPartner (John) and I decided to surprise them with a pre-Halloween cake.
For those of you not following news from The City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia’s murder rate has skyrocketed in 2007 and is at an all time high. On Friday, October 19th Philadelphia’s death count due to murder hit Number 323. Thus, the cake marking the occasion for our visiting Philadelphia friends.
We didn’t really celebrate, but instead derided Philadelphia Mayor John Street for his complete lack of leadership from the New Orleans-esque crime wave to economic development issues. You may recall earlier this year that as the murder rate shot up, Mayor “Nero” Street stood in line for his iPhone.
I figured it was appropriate to post this cake photo today since last night Philadelphian’s got an even worse scare by all of these folks showing up to waste the precious air of the city by sucking it in and exhaling hotter air to replace it.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, PHILADELPHIA! Scarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry.

Here’s something pretty off-topic: Washington Post praises efforts to increase patriotism in children. Mainly because they’re Cuban children being indoctrinated into Communism. Goddess-forbid, if the Bush administration tried to make children more patriotic about America, liberals’ heads would explode.
Back on topic, All I could think of watching Hillary at the end of the debate facing the question about illegal aliens getting driver’s licenses was that episode of Star Trek where the robots start malfunctioning because they can’t reconcile two logical contradictions.
“Must appease hispanic voters so must support driver’s licenses for illegals but can not alienate mainstream voters so can not support driver’s licenses for illegals. Must engage equivocation sub-routine. ERROR! ERROR! Sub-routine indicates previous contradictory statement. Engage Denial sub-routine. ERROR! ERROR! They’re not buying it! Engage cackle sub-routine. ERROR! ERROR! File not found ….”
“All I could think of watching Hillary at the end of the debate facing the question about illegal aliens getting driver’s licenses was that episode of Star Trek where the robots start malfunctioning because they can’t reconcile two logical contradictions. By V the K”
The episode is “I Mudd”, it’s really funny!
Now the Hillary Mafia is trying to blame Tim Russert for not being nice. Heck if she can’t handle tough questions from people like Russert, how can she face the terrorists???
Compaired to our enemies, Russert is a Puddy Cat!
Go Big O!!!
Very soon after we moved to Pennsylvania, we were stricken by how much people here despise Philadelphia. Now that we’ve lived here a couple of years, we understand why.
People in Michigan despise Detroit (a.k.a. “that sewer south of Eight mile”) for much the same reason.
Please don’t try to goad John Street into action on violent crime, because–like most Democrats–his idea of “action” is passing laws to to disarm the law-abiding rather than convicting and imprisoning the criminals.
I must laugh at their devils night appearances. How is it the Democrats did not realize it was devils night
Or trying to force the Boy Scouts, which run at no cost to the city large programs that keep kids off the streets and away from committing crimes, to pay crippling rent amounts to please leftist gays and lesbians.
Bruce, anyone who knows Philadelphia knows that Philly is not even a part of PA anymore… in about 1970, it became part of New Jersey. Residents’ mindset, political corruption, welfare dependency, crime, urban rot, paralysis of all institutions, failing schools, abandoned churches and third rate sports teams.
It’s New Jersey. Get with the program.
BTW, I’ve suggested to former NJ Gov Tom Keane that NJ also annex Detroit… it really belongs with them for all the same reasons above.
It’s so bad in Philadelphia Cops aren’t even safe in Doughnut shops.
Off Topic – Red-on-Red violence… gotta love it.
Go Big O!!!
Be the best obstacle for Hillary to overcome (so it doesn’t look like a shoo-in) you can be!
Seriosuly. “My baby’s daddy!” is going to wind up with his testicles hanging in Hillary’s study and the head of a horse in his bed.
And yet, she’s wooden and angry and only the utter lameness of her opponents keeps her from looking totally outmatched.
Something tells me the average lefty might not be so happy, come Nov. 2008, as they are hoping.

Especially given they’re having closed door meetings, again, to try and figure out what they stand for.
ILC, lefties are never really happy. The closest they ever come to joy is when the right screws up and they get to pop off a snotty remark. Elsewise it’s all whine, whine, whine… bitch, bitch, bitch…
More post-debate: Hilldog supporters whine about tough questions, claim Russert “should be shot.” . Very mature.
Once again, we see that the famed left-liberal “openness” and “tolerance” does not include openness to questions, or tolerance for having opponents and being held accountable.
I *love* the mentality revealed in the opening:
So – In their world, you don’t deflect attacks with anything like truth, principle, the genuine warmth of your candidate, the genuine greatness of her ideas and message, or the genuine enthusiasm of your supporters. Because you haven’t got those things. You have a noise machine, funded by the donations of Soros and a remarkable number of impovershed Chinese busboys. Gotta get more of that. You know, play to your strengths.
As for the person who said Russert “should be shot”, she backtracked by pointing out that she:
Not that she shouldn’t say it, period. Only shouldn’t on a conference call.
Hillary whines about moderately tough questions. (No one even asked why she opposed the Coburn amendment, which tried to exclude felons and gang members from the amnesty bill.) Lefties sob indignantly anytime anyone “questions their patriotism.” In contrast, Dick Cheney doesn’t mind it that people call him ‘Darth Vader’.
It’s nice that there are a very few politicians who aren’t complete mewling cry-babies.
Tha tcake looks really good Bruce. It’s making me hungry. What kind is it so I can order it the next time I entertain?
I think you’re all being incredibly insensitive to Hillary’s pain. She was obviously being merginalized and oppressed because she doesn’t have a penis. Feel her pain!
Hat-tip Powerline… the Edwards campaign made an entertaining video of Hillary’s flip-flops that night: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2007/11/018923.php
OT: If I eventually become a raving fan of Giuliani… this will be the reason why. (He stands for an anti-terrorist, pro-Israel, pro-America foreign policy… and that may drive the Left into their next round of insanity.)
She was obviously being merginalized and oppressed because she doesn’t have a penis.
Hillary doesn’t have a penis?
Who knew?
