Your exactly right about Doughtery being a thug. I live in the NW suburbs of Philadelphia. I couldn't less about the city. It is filled with vicious union thugs, and moronic a-holes who spend their drunken pathetic lives in the 700 level, mumble incoherent broken babble on WIP, and think their life has meaning because they know where to buy a cheesesteak. Goode was an idiot, Rendell was a crook, and Street is a racist thug. The city is dirty, old, tired, and expensive. We never go there. You can't take your wife and children to a ballgame for fear of having some drunk assault you or scream profanities, which is also the same reason you can't take them to a political rally.
Too bad Goode's aerial bomb on MOVE didn't take out the entire city.
Speaking of the MOVE bomb -- has Katz reached out to the many distressed black families who were burnt out and then moved into the new built houses -- which had many many problems, mostly due to corruption during the construction, they were poorly built and sloppily finished. That group is at war with the City administration -- Rendell/Street.
Doc, I lived in Philly from 1968 to 1972. It's comforting to see that the city hasn't changed at all, only the cast members.
