Good News, Bad News

For those of you who follow Philly politics and enjoy batshit-insane candidates, there's good news and bad: First, mayoral brother Milton Street has abandoned his bid for office, possibly getting the hint that he's under federal indictment, doesn't live in Philly, and his own brother doesn't even support him.

But have no fear, because Milton plans to still run for the City Council- where he'll be running against his own nephew, the mayor's son Sharif Street. He may not make the ballot though, as one of the local papers reported that all of the signatures on his ballot petition appear to be of the same handwriting.

And in other great news, Street's place on the ballot is being taken by a homeless man, whose name is Jesus White. No, I can't even make these things up anymore.
