First of all, this has to be the funniest photo on the AP Wire today:
That would be Eagles running back Brian Westbrook being tackled by his jock strap during today’s game with the Baltimore Ravens. I’d love to hear some creative captions about this one.
Now, onto more relevant topics. Lancaster city Mayor Rick Gray is going to unveil his proposed 2009 spending plan this week, and while that might sound ho hum to some, to political observers it’s a feast of possibilities. Why? Gray’s up for re-election in 2009, and the budget should provide a clue or two about whether the former defense attorney plans to run for another four-year term and just how hard of a task that will be for Gray.
However, if Gray decides to run for re-election, I don’t see how he loses barring any controversy from the proposed budget. More about all of this in Monday’s print edition plus a short follow up to last week’s Bird’s-Eye View about my mentor, the late Dr. Diane Meily.
