Rumblings: Wishing You The Blackest Of Fridays
>>>In addition to Santa‘s weeks-long crawl across West Philadelphia on the bus (and we hope that he will be just as filthy, drunk, and salmon-eating as Dan Ackroyd in Trading Places), tomorrow SEPTA will bring its Santa Express trains on a collision course to The Gallery, to kick off what every store therein desperately hopes will be a bottom-line saving reckless spending spree by Philadelphia’s style-less.

(Because we’ve managed to attract some crazies to the site lately, let us say for the record that Barack Obama is not actually a secret Muslim, and that if you think so, you are probably very, very stupid.) [TheFranklin]
