Mayor Mike's first play date

Nutter at an unmemorable press conference

So it's a big day for the mayor tomorrow. He's heading to the US Conference of Mayors.

We declined the invitation to join him, because he's leaving Philly on a 4:30 a.m. train. Also we're not sure we could stand the excitement. An entire day listening to mayors discussing climate control and budgetary constraints? Yawn.

And after all, the problems of the big-city mayor are so well portrayed on The Wire.

I don't think Mike is on the schedule for anything major, but maybe he'll treat them to a little Rapper's Delight.
