Heavy Medal: Your Morning Bono Roundup
“Well, mate, let me tell you: Your arm doesn’t stink half as much as Stephen Colbert’s.”
· Bono swings into down, recites list of all the things America gave the world (citing Philly specifically for Will Smith, without whom the world would presumably be that much emptier of a place) and then lays in:
Today I read in The Economist an article reporting that over 38 percent of Americans support some type of torture in exceptional circumstances. My country? No. Your country? Tell me no. Today, when I receive this great honor, I ask you, I implore you as an Irishman who has seen some of these things close up, I ask you to remember, you do not have to become a monster to defeat a monster. Your America’s better than that.
We are, you’re right, but we’re still trying to get over the image of The Fly reading The Economist. [Attytood]
· Phawker liveblog of the Liberty Medal ceremony experiences first world problems as Citizen Mom discovers that the Constitution Center does not have wifi. We knew that, which is why we went to the Phils game instead. You should have come, Ames! Sigh. [Phawker]
· The Fly is here, in our burgh, and all you bitches can think about is the traffic. Shame on you. [AP]
· NME picks up this gem: “”What I love about America started in Philadelphia,” sez Bono. Aww, us too. That’s why the whole town mentally seceded the union sometime around 1980. [NME]
· Wait, what the hell? How did Brian Tierney wind up in this story? [Philly.com video]

Sorry, lovies, but even Dr. Dog is no match for the gravitational pull of St. Paul. And besides, all a sports editor’s wife thinks about at a sporting event is what time the game is going to get over so the hubby can come home.
Thanks for the video, though, they did the national anthem proud.
