Philly.com Commenters On…

Oh, yes, this should give me enough material to last the rest of the week.

Four Cops Fired; Hilarity To Ensue

Four police officers were fired and four others disciplined today for beating up some suspects on camera a little bit ago.

What does this mean? Well, it means a lot, I suppose, but it means this thread on Domelights is going to be hilarious. If you’re interested in seeing people defend (what appears to be) police brutality — I mean, besides Christine Flowers — then please click through and read on.

Banished To 10 PM Friday Night!

Okay, the headline is a joke. But it’s true: I’ve just found out I’ll be on Fox 29’s 10 p.m. news tonight blathering on about the Internet, complete with since-cut hockey player haircut.

If you have a life (unlike me) and won’t be at home at 10 p.m. Friday night, I’ll post the video of Kerri-Lee Halkett talking with me, Johnny Goodtimes and (I assume) other various bloggers.

Impending Tale Of Johnny Doc Doom

I feel bad for Brian Hickey, who left his job at Citypaper to work for Johnny Doc only to have Johnny Doc lose to a dude with the most annoying commercials ever. Ah, but such is politics, I suppose, and at least we have promises of an awesome blog post:

Coming later today, or maybe tomorrow, depending on how much work we have to do today to keep our fledgling organization to push John’s initiatives going strong, I’ll be offering a full breakdown on why the residents of the First District made out worse on Tuesday than either John or Anne Dicker; complete with a breakdown of how the city’s established media used a disgusting, all-out smear campaign to keep a good man down.

The bolding is his; God, that is pretty much the best sentence ever. I am so excited for this blog post and the detailing of the established media’s smear campaign to help Vince Fumo defeat Johnny Doc. Or something.

Christina Alisio Retains Counsel, Probably Plans Hilarious DiMeoesque Lawsuits

Hey, remember Christina Alisio? Wait, you don’t? Oh, come on! It was just two days ago when she told the New York Post she boinked Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca!

Apparently not content to simply have her one day in the sun, Alisio has taken the next step of hiring a law firm to represent her:

“The Firm of Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky, P.C., today was retained to represent Christina Alisio, a private citizen who resides in Philadelphia. She has been the subject of numerous, recent media reports in connection with New York Mets Catcher Paul Lo Duca. On Ms. Alisio’s behalf, the Firm is investigating these media reports and the possibility of legal recourse. The matter is being handled by Attorneys Michael F. Barrett, Esq., and Donna Lee Jones, Esq. Out of respect for our Client and legal process, there will be no further comment on this matter at this time by the Firm or Ms. Alisio.”

You know what that means, boys and girls? Yes, just two days after going to the New York Post and whining that a ballplayer she met in a gambling parlor wasn’t her true love, Alisio appears ready to sue some media outlets.

Oddly, the Daily News story breaking this news has been taken down from Philly.com. Gasp! Who knows, exactly, what the evil news media did to the “private” citizen who told the New York Post the baseball player she met in a bar wasn’t her one true love.

But, really, we can’t wait to find out.
