Great clip from the AP's story on the iPhone release:

In Philadelphia, Mayor John F. Street was among those waiting in line at an AT&T store when he was asked by a 22-year-old passer-by, "How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?"

Street, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, told the man: "I'm doing my job."

The mayor then left, telling an aide to hold his spot until he returns later in the day. Earlier, Street said he liked trying new technology and the iPhone would allow him to work outside the office.

"We don't have to be sitting in City Hall to be conducting city business," he said.

An excellent point, seeing as how Friday, June 29th is the first day in the history of our species during which there exists the technology to work outside of one's office. Seriously, thank God for Apple.
