We don't really like to cop out, but let's face it, this week was a total no-brainer. We're sick of talking about, and you're sick of hearing about, next Tuesday's Presidential primary. But, because we're sadistic and you're masochistic, we keep writing about it, and you keep reading about it. And being the gluttons for punishment that we are, we couldn't help but tune in to the Democratic debate between the Phillyist People's Choice candidate, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. With polls indicating that roughly 10% of Democratic voters are still undecided, this week's debate, held right here in Philadelphia, could have been pivotal. It could have gone a long way towards determining whether Obama could, while probably not win Pennsylvania, keep Clinton's margin of victory sufficiently small to sway uncommitted superdelegates to his camp. It could have helped focus Pennsylvanians' attention on the issues that are going to be important in the general election campaign, once the Democratic party stops eating itself a Democratic nominee is finally chosen.

Usually I can muster a good chuckle at the tendency of the mainstream media to trumpet shock over substance in its campaign coverage, but last night's debate only made me angry. Here's why: watching them with me was a bona-fide undecided voter, the likes of which I haven't seen in a long time.

...Insanity: Connie Chung might just be crazy. The best part is where she gets off the piano and grunts like it really takes effort. (We first saw it on , but the video is hosted on YouTube and embedded above.

...Legal Troubles: Snoop Dogg and his posse caused some trouble in London Heathrow Airport and ended up getting themselves arrested. They were apparently smashing bottles of whiskey in the Duty Free shop. It all started when someone asked Snoop to pass the Courvoisier when he'd made it clear he'd only accept Gin and Juice. (Via E! Online.)

...Mischief: Utah Jazz player Carlos Boozer (we're refraining from making a joke about his name) has filed a complaint against Prince, who is currently renting Boozer's Southern California home. The Artist, or somebody employed by him, made "unauthorized home improvements" in the form of purple stripes and other decorations (including Prince's symbol and "3121," the name of his new album.) Oh, Dave Chappelle, where are you and why aren't you making fun of this? (Via Fox Sports, with photos courtesy of What Would Tyler Durden Do?)
