But, like your advertisements say, sometimes you've......

We bring you the buzz from the 215 blogs this week: Phillybits was not a fan of some Hillary posters that knocked off Obama's artsy promos.

Plus, we're guessing they weren't authorized by the campaign anyway. Johnny Goodtimes was mad as hell that Wawa appears to be abandoning the City......

This is going to be a short update for the weekly blog roundup. Why? It's because everyone and their mother is at South by Southwest, drunker than Ted Kennedy on nickel night. Oh and most bloggers are writing about who they met and how drunk they got, not about the music (isn't the music the POINT of going in the first place?) Jim McGuinn and XPN are doing a good job though with their web......

Not sure if it was the dark sky or the heavy rains, but something had Philly bloggers feeling retrospective this weekend: Akkam's Razor provides links celebrating one of Philadelphian's favorite summer getaways: Wildwood and the Jersey shore; including a non Jersey shore related link to the 1981 Atari game catalog.

And the Philly bloggers say: Johnny Goodtimes wants to know who offers the best pizza in town. (Clearly he should just ask Messy and Picky - we hear picking apart Philly pizza is one of their favorite topics.) Philadelphia Will Do warns us not to flash the local constabulary.

Dan Rubin at Blinq tells us that yesterday was the most depressing day of the year - which we suppose means the rest of the year will be full of sunshine and lollipops, scientifically speaking. Here's what the rest of the blogosphere was talking about while the winter blues were still on (now that they're over we assume everyone's left their computer for celebratory dancing in the street): * Blankbaby gives us the news......

Gonna find my blog, gonna hold it tight. Gonna grab some afternoon delight. My motto's always been; when it's right (you know, conservative), it's right.
