O Happy Day! Quadfecta!

Is this a great day or what?

Sure the pols have decamped to Indiana and North Carolina but the Flyers won and advance in the playoffs!

The Sixers won!

The Phillies won!

And Johnny Doc -- a man who has, more than once, told colleagues to check under their cars before turning on the ignition -- lost! That's a hat trick and a fallen doc.

Mark it down, folks. April 23, 2008, a day that smiled on this city.

Apparently, phone bells are still ringing from presidential candidates. A reader wrote to say his phone is still fielding calls from politicians -- not for votes but for money.
