Back when I used to work on the boats in Maine, we lived by a rule called “Slow Motion Wednesday. It was simply based on the idea that Wednesday should be taken with some ease. The reason for this is because another rule we lived by was the idea of MAXIMUM INTENSITY TUESDAY. You need Slow Motion Wednesday because you needed to recover from MAXIMIUM INTENSITY TUESDAY. After that was Big, Fat Cheeseburger Thursday.

The point of that was that in regards to local news, we will certainly need Slow Motion Wednesday.

- The sixth and final mayoral debate last night was highlighted by a near wrestling match between Bob Brady and Tom Knox, ignoring Dwight Evans, and Chaka Fattah saying that Michael Nutter shouldn’t have to remind himself that he’s an African American. Currently Nutter and Knox are duking it out for the lead, followed by Fattah, Brady and Evans. It will really be a shame when this over.
* (On a side note, Brady was at the Museum Sunday morning, shaking hands with MS Walkers. When I pointed him out to Courtney, she said that there was no way he was really going to walk in those shoes. He didn’t walk, but he did manage to squeeze on a t-shirt.)

- Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb finally broke his silence about the NFL Draft. The Eagles first selection was Houston QB Kevin Kolb. When asked, McNabb replied, “Was that our first pick?” And here I thought everyone watched the NFL Draft. McNabb was probably holding out for the MLB draft, which this year, for the first year will be televised on ESPN. Even with all of the problems in the world, we can still rely on ESPN.

- A terrorist plot was thwarted by the FBI last night, with six suspects arrested. 5 were arrested in Cherry Hill, NJ. The suspects were allegedly planning on attacking Fort Dix, although one of the suspects was under the impression that the target was the Cherry Hill water tower. The suspect could not be reached for comment.

Okay. I’m going out with last week’s Philadelpia Weekly to take the tour of the 10 hottest drug spots in Philly. I hope there’s food provided. I’m starving.
