Hey Man, Can't We All Just Get Along?
Yo, Philly in the News

- Philly PD is hoping DNA evidence will help them catch the armed attacker robbing and molesting women in and around Center City. And frankly, so are we. (Hoping the DNA evidence will catch them that is - not armed, attacking and molesting women. Just for the poorly-constructed sentence record.)
- The Inquirer and Daily News may be facing a strike - at least according to a strongly worded Newspaper Guild memo, which is encourging employees to take all their personal crap home. (That's one of the benefits of being part of the so-called pajama media - if we strike, we're at home with our crap all the time anyway. Of course, if we strike, nobody cares.) [PWD]
- While they are busy distracting us with their shiny, new tower and their slasher movies on demand, Comcast has been making another plan for next year: rate hikes. Scarier, no doubt, that Saw 3.
- Who will get the gang violence under control? Will it be the Gang Control Unit? At least one Philly officer doesn't think the manpower numbers add up .
- Is first period lunch bad for students? It seems to Phillyist that our dear old Alma Mater Central High had this same Your Lunch Could Be Scheduled At Any Period policy back in our day, and look how we turned out: overweight, fond of the vending machine and forever eating at our desks. Ohhh....
- According to action group PhillyNorml, City Council will be voting on the "Blunt Ban" tomorrow - which would make it illegal to sell drug paraphernalia, a designation which PhillyNorml contends could "technically include apples, sandwich bags, paperclips, et al." Now, Phillyist has heard that some folks can (and will) make a bong out of anything - so...we suppose if the bill goes through, you'll need to be sure to tell your produce manager that you want that dangerous apple in order to keep the doctor away. And, er, those feathered roach clips are to wear in your hair. Obviously.
- Many men with quotation marks in the middle of their names (and one of whom is currently undefeated) will be beating the holy heck out of one another for the enjoyment of sports enthusiasts this Friday night at the Legendary Blue Horizon on Broad. And during all this socially acceptable violence, they'll be collecting toys for the kids, and honoring some local heroes - so that's nice.
