Feeling funny

I'm feeling a bit funny, and am about to go home early. Thus, weeding some 20 tabs down to the most interesting, I get these:

• Inspector General to be made independent of the mayor, and given broader powers to look into possible corruption in more parts of government.
  
  
• The vacant lot on South Broad (frequent home of Circ du Soleil shows) may get a spiffy new development, that is if the neighbors don't try to block any progress whatsoever. I look forward to hearing what PhillySkyline thinks of these plans.
  
  
• Ben Waxman thinks Philly needs its own Americorps-style program to harness the energy of youth.
  
  
• There's a bill in the state legislature to protect gays from job discrimination. Better late than never.
