Remember that advertising campaign that used to say that Philadelphia is more fun for tourists when they stay over? Unfortunately, a couple tourists from Missouri recently found out when Philadelphia isn’t so much fun. Namely when you get plowed over by a drunken South Philly douchebag when you are just trying to cross the street to see your hometown St. Louis Cardinals play the Phillies. One of the tourists, 53-year-old Cindy Grassi, died from her injuries, while the other poor soul, 36-year-old Sandra Wacker remains at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition with the most positive diagnosis stating that she could be paralyzed on one side of her body for the rest of her life.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

We at Phillyist are always interested in seeing just who Governor Ed Rendell ['Big Ed' to those of us who love him] is doling out the pardons to. After all, who amongst us hasn't racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in city parking tickets or mooned a Wawa full of police officers while publicly drunk? You never know when you're going to need a Governor sympathetic to your plight.
