We have a very interesting report from Upper Darby, brought to us by Daily News reporter Bill Bender:
Upper Darby Councilman Jack Shingle was hospitalized and local Democratic leader Steve Smith arrested this morning after a fight broke out at the Highland Park Fire Co. polling place in Delaware County.
Smith is still locked up this afternoon at the police department and will likely be charged with assault and other offenses, said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood Sr. He said Smith apparently knocked Shingle to the ground and "thumped him," requiring Shingle to be taken to the hospital.
But Democrats say Shingle was the aggressor and are accusing Chitwood's cops of partisan policing. Chitwood is a potential Republican congressional candidate.
"When the police arrive, of course they arrest the Democrat and don’t arrest the Republican," said Ed Bradley, campaign coordinator for the Upper Darby Democrats. "This is Chitwood’s police department."

I am saddened that this has been exclusively a discussion about the validity of a single arres. Why are 2 adults, particularly those in leadership positions in our community, fighting like children? This is ridiculous, and both of them should be punished--just as we would 2 boys on a schoolyard.

They're fighting because they don't deserve to be in office.

I think it's typical of the cheating and thurggery that goes on in elections all the time in the suburbs. Some day, it will be more than a footnote when the media start putting its resources where it's needed, uncovering corruption and brutality in the suburbs.

Let's see how Mike "MEDIA WHORE" Chitwood spins this.
Or will his string pullers tell him to keep his yap shut.
They should both be charged.
This are the best we have to run for office?
Two clowns that give clowns a bad name.

Having worked with the Democrats when I lived in Delaware County, I would not be suprised if the Republicans were the aggressors in this case. They have long gotten away with thuggery and brutal tactics in elections, and they have been protected by the police and DA. Hopefully the media and good government groups will soon focus more resources to the suburbs. Philadelphia has elected a reform mayor. It is about time that similiar changes take place in the suburbs.

From what John S said about Delaware County, the exact same thing could be said for Philadelphia. The Democrats being the agressors.
Philly has done great with John Street for 8 years a Democrat that had no business of being in City Hall.
Philadelphia has elected a new Mayor, but we will see if it will be politics as usual for Philadelphia.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

One thing I¡¯d like to say is the fact before obtaining more personal computer memory, consider the machine directly into which it could be installed. When the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory limit is 3.25GB. Setting up more than this would basically constitute some sort of waste. Make certain that one¡¯s motherboard can handle the upgrade amount, as well. Great blog post.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
