Well, I’m about a week late on the whole O’Reilly-Letterman thing, but that’s because, uh, I’ve been uh, drinking. Anyways, if you’ve missed it too, here is the video of the battle. And here’s a piece in People magazine about it. Because People magazine is a publication you can trust. Of course, O’Reilly didn’t get served by Letterman the way he got served by Donahue a few months ago. This one is much more heated. To me, it’s not O’Reilly’s politics that piss me off. It’s his schwarmy “I used to work for Inside Edition so you can trust me” attitude, and that “the louder I scream, the more you can trust me”. Of course that is precisely what makes him and Limbaugh and Hannity (and Jim Rome, for that matter) so succesful.

That’s right, gang. We’re going to be celebrating Ben Franklin this week by asking multiple (but not all) Franklin questions, and by giving away two tickets at every quizzo to the Philadelphia Theatre Company’s upcoming production of Ben Franklin: Unplugged! This is all in honor of Franklin’s Upcoming 300th birthday.

How old was Ben Franklin when he moved to Philly?

Tonight’s da night, as Johnny will be hosting sports quizzo at Barrister’s (1823 Sansom). The bar will be featuring $2 Lagers and $2 Miller Lites. I also suggest you bring an appetite. The food there is really good. Max team size is 5! Yeah, maybe that’s a bummer, but it’s due to the seating configuration in there. If you already had eight, just bring ’em and split up into two teams. No problem. Hope to see you tonight!

Ok, Ok, fair enough, so we raised that money the week before Christmas for the Emergency Utility Relief Fund, and I finally counted it up today. I’m a loser. I’ll send the check out on Monday. We raised a total of $237, which is pretty awesome. While I wish that part of the money raised could go toward turning off the heat of the people who run PGW, I find plenty of consolation in the fact that we are going to help some people keep their heat on. Thanks again for your help in this matter, and we’ll do it again soon.

Proving that the whole Men’s Health Fittest/Fattest issue is a complete mockery which consists of like three writers just pulling cities out of a hat, Baltimore was named the fittest city in America. But what was even more shocking was that Philly did not even make the 10 fattest cities, only a year after finishing 2nd fattest. I was surprised b/c I have personally hurt the team by gaining weight since last January. I guess it was that influx of healthy New Yorkers into our little borough that has pulled us up by the bootstraps. Thank you, New York!

Anybody got access to video equipment and video editing equipment? I need to make like a 5 minute tape. I can pay some, but not a fortune, and it should be pretty fun to make. Please contact me if you have any connections.
