Rumblings: I Wanna Destroy You

fumo>>> All over town, gristly old coots are scratching their enlarged prostates and singing a paraphrase of “Where’d The Cheese Go?” Well, in the case of Vince Fumo, he’s a-scratchin’ and a-laughin’: The Phila Tax Board lost — lost! — the file for his mansion‘s much-debated tax assessment. (Mansion pictured at left, Fumo reportedly in the library with a candlestick and a box of takeout from The Plough & Stars.) The whole thing is funny and ballsy enough that we’re starting to like this guy again in the same way as if someone had figured out some supermagical way to steal your car and it was all you could do to just stand there and smile and watch this raggedy ass space monkey politician turn your Scion into a stick of butter. Goddamnit, I hate it when that happens. [YouTube/KYW/Philebrity'sGreatestHits]
>>> Meanwhile, eternal source of PA pride Arlen Specter is gearing up to meet with NFL commish Roger Goodell about how the New England Patriots destroyed evidence related to their sidelines spying case. But Will Bunch wonders if the man who brought you the Single Bullet Theory is not himself involved in a conspiracy and personal vendetta that puts himself, the Iggles, and goddamned motherfucking COMCAST all in the same boat. WHAT? [Attytood]
>>> And as we leaked last week, the Tweeter just became the Susky like five minutes ago. [BusinessWire]

    I found it humorous that nowhere in the press release about the renaming of the Tweeter Center is the former, and well-known, name of that venue mentioned. I suppose we must never speak of it again. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
