We felt conflicted about this in about five different ways.

A new Muhlenberg College/Allentown Morning Call poll puts Sestak at 44% with Toomey at 41%. Even discounting margin errors, this is still a turnaround from last month’s same poll that had Toomey with a 46/39 lead. Could it be those ads? Scroll down for our roundup.

PhillyClout reports that @michael_nutter is real — unlike that other Nutter Twitter account from last year — and yep, it’s just boring enough to be so. Shout-outs to David Gregory like whoa!

Dear Philebrity, I took time out to write you a letter and send you a song of Darren’s music. A personal acknowledgment would’ve been just fine. But you resent anybody who is different from you, unless you can belittle them to validate your standing in your incestuous social hierarchy. The few times he has tried [...]

She didn’t know that there was (supposed to be) separation of church and state. And then tried to make a huffy defense of her position. Will it toast her? If it does (and it won’t, I mean, really, there’s too much steam now, we all have to see how it ends), we’ll all have Widener [...]

We know, we know: All of this baseball has meant, really, only one thing, as far as your subconscious is concerned: The burnt-umber visage of neckfatty wolf-king Darren Daulton in your face all the time now, as he provides color (orange) commentary on Comcast SportsNet‘s Phillies post-game show. And if you think his hair and [...]

Political ads are, in general, a method of indirectly saying that one’s opponent is full of crap. The subtlety of normal political ads wasn’t enough for Joe Sestak, who recently released a new ad that nicely captures the mood of Pennsylvania’s Senate race. The ad stars Sestak, his dog Belle, and a bag of Belle’s [...]

The South Street Bridge, which has been closed since December 8th, 2008, is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, November 6th. Despite having been closed for what felt like forever – I was starting to give up hope of ever crossing the bridge again – the reopening is actually ahead of schedule. And on top of [...]

Youtube user pillgrimsprogress, you kinda just blew our minds.

Bethenny Frankel, best-selling author and star of The Real Housewives of New York and Bethenny Getting Married?, comes to Philadelphia for an evening of sass and fabulous fun at the Merriam Theater on Friday, January 21, 2010 at 8pm. America’s favorite “skinnygirl” will dish on life, her work, and her passion for living healthy and [...]

SugarHouse: It’s only just this far from being a place where you can get your kidneys stolen. These two smiling young gentlemen in the picture at right are the lead suspects for a robbery that occured early Saturday morning, whereupon a man was followed from SugarHouse (where he’d won about $2K) to his home in [...]

Please excuse us while we take a pause from covering “The Khyber’s New Concept, Which Is To Be The Khyber And Not Be The Khyber Simultaneously” for some news relating back to the Khyber in a less identity-crisis-ridden time. David Headley, who managed the Khyber (then owned by his mother) in the 1980s, has already [...]

We don’t need to sell our souls; Pukemon is already in us.

Best thing we did all weekend? Light Drift. Seriously. It was beautiful. Mural Arts, do you think we might be allowed to keep it forever?

You’ve probably already read about it on the Wall Street Journal, NPR, even Modern Mom! Yup, the Mc Rib is back on Nov. 2nd, to which we have one thing to say… WHY GOD WHY!?  Because it’s a “boneless pork patty molded into the shape of a rib slab and adorned with pickles, onions and barbecue [...]

Head over to Phoodie to check ‘em out! Rybread, Hinge, and new locations for Honey’s and Mugshots.

I just wanna ride my motorcy-cle.

As Halloween approaches, so does the living Hell that is Fairmount Ave. between 20th and 23rd Streets. We’ve been complaining for the past few weeks about the influx of crazies being dumped off at DrifterHouse. But think of all those drunkards who, after a few rounds, suddenly think its a good idea to head over [...]

Blocktoberfest wound up feeling more like a tailgate party for the Phils game than anything. Maybe it was because attendees were designated three beers per ticket early on, and then they tried to conserve, or because each tent only permitted you one beer… Whatever it was, Blocktoberfest didn’t turn out as chillwave as some expected. [...]

Sun Airway‘s new video directed by Philadelphia’s Ricardo Rivera of Klip Collective is so simple and so good. Many of us have probably had that bike ride home where, even when the world is raining down on you, something about it turns out to be exactly what you need to get to sleep. Love how this video [...]
