Harry And Fletch (9)
— Arnold Babar. With one "B".: “Who’s Chevy Chase?” “I’m Frieda’s boss....
— Dale: Don’t sell yourself short, Harry, you’re a tremendous slouch.
— Fitzhume: You’re right. I’ve been foolishly squandering my salary on food and heat. I love Chevy...

"The latest fast-food concept is so absurdly simple, self-indulgent and reflective of one's inner child that, well, how can it fail?"
That quote, from USA Today's Jerry Shriver, appears on the Web site of Cereality, the national cereal bar chain that opened at 3631 Walnut St. in the fall of 2004.
Call the number, though (215-222-1162), and a prerecorded message informs you that the West Philly branch is no longer open for business.

Just came from a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and a small group of bloggers where we learned that he's a big fan of Chevy Chase who he met at an event last night. According to the senator, when they met he thanked him for making him laugh so much over the years. Chase responded, "I hear people laugh at you a lot, too."
Since I gather that much of the TV viewing audience got to hear the sultry sounds of bloviating pundits instead of an excellent speech by Senator Kerry last night, let me suggest people take a look.
Clicking over to the New York Timespage last night during the DNC, I saw this graphic:
Which of these delegates is not like the others, in the sense that he ran a major city?
Recognize that guy in the lower middle? That's former Philadelphia mayor John Street! (aka Professor Street!)
The graphic teased a feature called "Voices of the Delegates," which, if you clicked through to it, showed you pictures of and played audio from various DNC delegates. Except, alas, John Street was not there! Apparently he rated a front-page photo, but not audio (now there's a smaller graphic up on the front page, and Street is not included).
