Other quick bits

• An Inquirer editorial looks at the residency requirement for city employment and wonders whether there might be benefits to letting people move here *after* they're hired, if need be.
  
  
• The Daily News opinion page looks at the terrible "compromise bill" on gun control (which covers only Philadelphia, and thus would allow plenty of guns in from the suburbs and elsewhere) and calls state legislators (esp. Vince Fumo) on their attempt at cheap but meaningless political cover.
  
  
• The CityPaper political note watches Sen. Santorum work the pro-Israel crowd.
  
  
• And finally, D-Mac at Philadelphia Will Do takes a humorous look at local boosterism efforts. I love it when officials try to look hip. Ringtones indeed...
