Um, Hello, What? Marathon Closed!

Wait, no, seriously. What? The DP reports that Marathon and its awkward tumor MarBar closed up shop Monday. Tragic! But don't worry, there's five other locations in Philly, as if we would schlep downtown to one. We're not paying that much for the banana chocolate chip pancakes, we're paying for the prime walk of shame viewing spot.

Graduation Was Apparently A Big Deal

Guess There's Still Huntsman

Well, that was fun. Illustrious alum Donald Trump has decided that he's not running for president anymore. According to the ABC News report, the 2012 election will have to go on sans his lunacy: "After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the presidency," Trump said in a statement. "...my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country. I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election... however, business is my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector." After his great speech today, we're thinking Denzel might as well give it a shot.
