philly

I witnessed this scene a few days ago while walking up 12th St just north of Walnut St: a blind man leading another blind man down the street. There, I've seen it, the blind leading the blind; literally.

This got me to thinking about many other things, the metaphorical versions of the literal scene I had seen once in my 29 years. Posting this just a day after Philly's Vince Fumo was indicted on 137 counts in federal court, it made me think back to a time when I could've been implicated in all this mess. I was offered, and subsequently turned down, a job to work for Fumo about 2.5 years ago. I won't get into the particulars of it all, but I was very close to taking that job, but I didn't.

At that point, I had started to develop quite the jaded view on politics after diving in headfirst into the brackish political cesspool that is PA/Philadelphia. I opted to not delve any deeper.
