By now, if you have an email account, you’ve probably received one of these emails, at least once. You know the one: Obama is a Muslim, he’s an anti-Semite, he’s hoodwinked everyone, and if we’re not careful, we could have an al-Qaeda cell AS OUR PRESIDENT! WAHHHHHHH!!!!! Or something like that. In the last month [...]

>>>Hey, Milton Street jury, two days of deliberation got you down? Don’t sweat it, snow be damned, you’re about to blow a perfectly good Friday that was meant for hibernation by working hard or hardly working. [Inky]
>>>How about some delays on I-76 to get you off scot-free for the next 19 months as you show [...]

>>> The TLA Philebrity Screening Series is back tonight at National Mechanics (22 S. 3rd St.) with a right corker: The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff (trailer at right), and presented by Y-Rock/WXPN/Drexel giver of life and music Jim McGuinn. As always, the screenings are free, get underway at 7:30pm, and please remember, smoking [...]

>>> Seems like Joe Biden — or as we like to call him, “White, Smarmy Obama From Delaware” — can’t catch a break. Not only has he faded from the news (c’mon, nobody’s thinking of this guy as a VP?), but there’s a breaking news story that his helicopter had to make an emergency landing [...]

Alright locavores, time to walk it like you talk it: If you’re a fan of horse carcasses, hooves and manes covered in manure then you just missed out! Strawberry Mansion has been home to rotting horse remains for months now. Long story short, after complaints about the remains they were cleaned up. Who dumped the [...]

After the jump, Miss Kelly White boldly goes where no partytrainsoldier would dare: Drinking at the neighborhood local with her sister.

“Do you honestly believe that the district attorney, the police commissioner, and the mayor would be oblivious to the fact that this was some front [for a crack and cocaine ring]?” [Ace Capone and Tim Gotti's attorney] asked the jury. “These are the chief law enforcement officers of the city of Philadelphia.”

… to bring you a new sister site that we’ll be unveiling very soon. In the meantime, we’re taking Thursday morning off, and we’ll be back atcha at noon. In the meantime, please think of how much we love you, and how much of a bummer global thermonuclear war would be, if it all came [...]

UNIVERSITY CITY: According to Walk Score (which rates places for their walkability) there is an emergence of walkable urban places within Philadelphia, most notably University City and Manayunk. If all of the, ahem, educated individuals don’t get the sidewalk they deserve, they’re moving to New York. So there. [DN]

So, tonight is Foggy Notion — Philebrity’s monthly party dedicated to new bands and hanging solid — at Silk City. And we’re stoked to have not one but two great new Philly-area bands that we’re equally excited about. Drink Up Buttercup and Jotto. We’ve posted a bunch of things about both of these bands recently, [...]

That’s the question that we’re posing to you this afternoon after our blind faith in Philadelphia tour guides has finally been Lasik-corrected. What we’ve learned (and would have questioned had we ever actually been on a tour of Philly or paid attention to the words coming out of faux Benny Franklin’s mouth) is that most [...]

>>>> Doug Kammerer. Remember him? Used to be the weather choad at NBC10, tried to think about a few things a few times, but now he’s at CBS3, really earning that paycheck. It’s all just a little too Midnight Cowboy for me, I have to admit. [PhillyEdge]
>>> Local band Mercury Radio Theater would desperately like [...]

From last night’s Spice Girls show at the Wach.

Here’s what’s, uh, next:
· Some guy named Nutter who’s making lots of hires.
· DMac paraphrases the Spectrum’s Wikipedia page, uhh, a month after we did.
· The National Eye still exist.
· Something about how there’s lots of good restaurants on East Passyunk Ave. Who knew!
· Some other thing about how you can get TV on the [...]

Um, nice try, guys.

Crusties/freegans/possibly your brother that nobody in the family talks about because your mother breaks down when you bring him up have invaded the PHL Airport. Those perfectly edible tossed pretzels from the pretzel store will not rot in vain. [NBC10]
