Rumblings: The New Philadelphia
>>>The New Philadelphia just woke up in your bed. It turns to you, yawns, and says something about hitting nearly 70 degrees in February. With thunderstorms. You honestly can’t think of anything sexier. All you know is that your last girlfriend was never this interesting. [AccuWeather]
>>>Then she pushes you out of bed and you remember that you should be blogging. That PW is endorsing Obama. Even if it’s not surprising and just barely Rumblings-worthy. [PW]
>>>Back on real news: Ramsey plans to cut homicide in half. Did you just get a vision of him gripping an ax, wearing a red flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up to reveal his powerful forearms? It’s amazing what a 10% increase of officers on the streets and an imagination can get you. [KeystonePolitics]

I wish I could cut homicides in half. The Commish’s last name is Ramsey, of course. I saw him walking out of City Hall today as I raced to Reading Terminal for lunch!

I’m not sure if he can do this within 08′. I’m sure that isn’t what the hopeful projection is for the year. The 25% reduction is what he’s going for and I’m positive cutting homicides in half is probably over a 36 month or 5 year period.
In all honesty I’m just glad Sylvester Johnson is gone. Gordon Hinckley’s rotting Mormon corpse could prove to be more satisfactory commish then that douche.
