Mmmmm, Mardi Gras. Somehow it seemed anti-climactic this year. South Street in Philly didn’t have a riot. Well, at least they booed Kobe Bryant even though some commentators are arguing (rightly) that so few of the spectators at the All-Star game were from Philly it couldn’t be Philadelphia’s fault. Who cares? It’s part of the charm of the place. Brotherly love my ***. Wanna go home now . . . bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar bar. <- insert catchy tune here.
