Dude, Chris. You're supposed to put the Superman garb under your button-down shirt. Otherwise what's the point of even having a secret identity? Posted by D-Mac at 12:06 PM | Comments (2) | TrackBack (0) December 29, 2006PWD People Of The Year: Eddie Dougherty
For this, from Metro on May 1, at the height of the "gas is expensive" news cycle.
He is right, though. Gas prices should go down 18 percent. No, 25 percent. Philadelphia Will Do People of the Year | The List So Far Posted by D-Mac at 10:53 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0) December 13, 2006'Metro' Debate Style: Hey, I Know That Guy!
Today, surprisingly, seems to contain just one Temple student! Let's take a look at the three people who have their finger on the pulse of society today. • Gabriel Gilwa: Hey, wait a minute, I know that guy! It's Gabe! He works on the ad side at PW! And my back faces the sales side of the office! Hmm... probably best not to knock anyone who could sneak up behind me. And so, Gabriel Gilwa is wearing a fantastic pink shirt/jeans combination and a stylish jacket. • Ashley Angela: Ashley is rocking the half Michelin Man coat, always a nice look. But know who she pales in comparison to? Gabriel Gilwa, the most stylish man in Metro. • Evrton Lee: Everton is wearing a ... jacket of some sort. And a hat. However, he does have a good plan of putting more police officers on the street. Would it save our community like the plans of Gabriel Gilwa? I think not. I'd like to go on record now that I think crossing our fingers would be just as good, if not better, of a plan than "one gun a month."

But that doesn't stop this from being one of the better Metro debates in a long while. While finally having a debate piece without any Temple students, two of the three debaters do have their eyes closed. Let's hit the three of 'em. • Norman Sparrow: When his parents named him Norman Sparrow, I think it actually meant "our son is going to be an artist." I don't think there's any other profession someone with the name Norman Sparrow can have. (Okay, maybe pirate.) Sparrow also appears to not just have his eyes closed, but to be meditating. Awesome. • Brianne Donohue: These interviews were done either Tuesday or Wednesday. (Guess: Tuesday, since the question is non-specific.) Question: Was Tuesday an appropriate day to wear a leather jacket? Discuss. • Uptown Shizz Socks: Uptown Shizz Socks! Our security guard appears to not just have his eyes closed, but to have fallen asleep as well. On the plus side, when your name is Uptown Shizz Socks, you can sort of do whatever you want.

Whoa. Clearly, the third guy has to be a hologram or a character from Tron. But I also appreciate bachelor number one leaning against the side of his little box.

Yes, I was wondering when Metro was going to ask "Superstar" Billy Graham his opinions. It's long overdue. Posted by D-Mac at 03:54 PM | Comments (1) | TrackBack (0) August 25, 2006'Metro' Settles JBR Debate

I don't know if sending troops to the border is the right idea, but I don't necessarily think they'll get depressed while they're down there.
