Leftovers: This Is Pennsylvania. Please Speak English When Residing Here.

• On a day when nearly every county in Pennsylvania was declared to be in a state of disaster emergency, what did our state house do? That's right: Declare English the official language of Pennsylvania. I'd make a Nero comparison, but I think that'd be unfair to the late emperor. [Philadelphia Business Journal]

• Okay, can anybody explain what this thing means and why it's on the front page of today's Evening Bulletin? [The Evening Bulletin]

• Number of times Jameer Nelson was drafted last night: 0. Number of times he's brought up in Dick Jerardi's draft column: 4. [Daily News]

• The editors at suburban alt-weekly Play have apparently decided that, instead of running movie reviews, they're going to run movie previews. (This is from last week's issue, so the whole idea could have been dropped.) [Play]

• Despite objections, the School Reform Commission approved an all boys' charter high school. Students at other high schools are expected to rework the "How come [all-boys' high school] has no steps?" joke by the time classes start in the fall. [Inquirer]

Blogicized: Comcast Puts Hotels On Citizens Bank Park, Wachovia Center

• 'XPN says we upload, you decide: Is that ubiquitous Chili Peppers song the same as that one-ubiquitous Tom Petty song? [WXPN Blog]

• Could you one day watch Phillies games on DirecTV? Ha. That's a good one. [Civil Defense]

• Hey, Play, the newest suburban alt-weekly, has launched! And the mag's top BYOB serves alcohol! [Foobooz]

Oh, Yes, There Is Another

Hot on the debut of The Impulse comes next week's debut of Play, the suburban arts and entertainment weekly -- we might just relent and call them suburban alt-weeklies, or SAWs -- from Journal-Register:

Needless to say, this magazine's launch party next Wednesday is at Grape Street.

But, uh, open bar, you say? And no cover? Hmm...
