Yo, Philly in the News

• CultureGrrl informs us that the movement fighting to keep the Barnes Foundation from moving is splintering into different groups, each with its own petition.
• The Inquirer has collected reactions to Alberto Gonzales' resignation from PA's Senator Specter, as well as from local attorneys and agents.
• A motorcyclist from Woodbury, heading back over the Ben Franklin Bridge to New Jersey early yesterday morning, ran into the back of a car near the Philadelphia entrance and was thrown over the side of the bridge, landing on Delaware Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
• Remember that whole big thing back in 2005 when former City Treasurer Corey Kemp and some other guys all got convicted in a corruption case? Defense attorneys appealed, claiming the judge inserted himself too much into the jury's deliberations. Well, the appeal is over and the convictions have been upheld.
• Yet more disturbing news about the state of Pennsylvania bridges!
• The result of the recent local American Idol try outs? A whole lot of depressed, pissed off people.
