Even Mayors have to wait in line for the iPhone

Oh give me a break...just because he's the mayor means he has to work 24/7...if he had sent some assistant then you guys would be criticizing him for that.

What do people think a mayor does? Run around and take bullets for people? Personally fight crime? Fill potholes by hand?

No. They take meetings. They send emails. They write letters. They sign shit. Every one of those things you can do from almost anywhere in the world.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all the people all of the time.

Well he's not in line now...

I'm just thanking God he's not in line to buy some hideous PC product, thankfully it's an Apple product. Does give him SOME credibility.

Really, people? Mayor Street has long been a technology enthusiast. He was one of the movers and shakers behind offering free and reduced cost Internet access in low-income sections of Philadelphia. Nor is it likely he, personally, can solve all the problems of a modern urban metropolis. There's no reason I can think of for him not to do a little man on the street shopping.

He's campaigning.

Did you know that this assclown of a mayor actually sleeps? Fully eight hours each night. It's an enormous waste of taxpayer dollars. Once he was spotted eating lunch. Seriously. Middle of the freaking day, and this guy's feeding his face. I understand he took a vacation for a few days last year. Paid vacation. The bastard.

I'm not at all surprised to hear that he'd be waiting in line. He's shown a pattern of sometimes not working, so I can't see how we could expect any better.

Street is well known for his blackberry obsession, so to see him (a business user) springing for one bodes well for the iPhone.

On a lighter note, my City has more murders than NYC, and 7 times less people...christ. They should maybe do a iPhone for gun exchange :P

Ohh and to all the morons who didnt vote for Katz, ................ yeah. Thanks.

Go, Pete. Coudl'nt agree with you more.
