We know it's Labor Day weekend and all, but man, there's some bad juju going around the Philadelphia area today. Our Asshole of the Week was just the tip of the iceberg.

SEPTA: Not this week's asshole. This time the story is not about stranded passengers, or surly drivers, buses driving into people willy-nilly, missing your job interview, missing your optometrist's appointment, being trapped underground for an hour on the trolley for no reason and with no explanation, having your bus rerouted into nowhere, service going up in price or service ending. Not any of those things. This time, SEPTA, or at least a SEPTA driver, was the wronged party.

Dear Philadelphia:

The saga of CBS 3 anchorwoman Alycia Lane has gotten even stranger. The Daily News reports that her first call upon release from NYPD custody was to Governor Edward Rendell. A spokesman for the governor,Chuck Ardo, said to the paper that she did it to "make sure he knew her side of the story because he is an opinion-maker and runs around in influential circles." And "I think she knew better than to ask him to intervene." Ardo also made it clear that the governor's office was not going intervene in the case.

The saga of CBS 3’s Alycia Lane continues. She has been divorced twice, appeared on Dr. Phil, was romantically linked to WCBS anchor Chris Wragge, and of course infamously sent bikini photos to a married man. All of this seemed to make her one of the darlings of the New York Post’s Page Six column of late.
