Generally I avoid the Inqy/DN comments as they’re usually full of insults and invective. However, this comment struck me as funny, scary, and ultimately sad:

The Generic Philly Problem: Politicians espouse great concern about problem. Not-for-profit organizations hold events to shed light on problem. Administrators of questionable competence and motives feign interest in solving problem. Lawyers get involved. Boatloads of public & private funds are dispensed with reckless abandon to all of the above. Problem solved. Philly Style!
