Political warp-up

(The title was going to be "Political wrap-up", but I think warp really works.)

1. John Street - the current mayor of Philadelphia - has a brother named Milton. Last year he tried to run for PA House, but was denied the opportunity owing to the fact the he, uh, lives in New Jersey. He's currently waiting for a trial to start in which he's the defendant: allegedly he pocked a few million bucks last year and neglected to, you know, mention it to the IRS or other concerned parties.

Now he's running for mayor! Of Philly! Whoo-hoo! This is gonna be great fun!

2. On the far other end of the spectrum, John McCain, backslider galore, has a new website for his new campaign. To his credit, it's strikingly different from most political candidates websites, with the distinct lack of red-white-and-blue, and nary an eagle to be seen. But that weird star thing over his name makes it look like a car dealership, and the black-and-white color-scheme makes it look like a slick Battlestar Galactica fansite.

3. Over across the pond, they want to waive the TV license fee for poor people.

Because, obviously, that's going to help fight poverty. Or something.
