How are you feelin' this morning, Philly? We're feeling a little banged-up, like maybe we drank a little too much and stayed up a little too late last night. Wonder how that could've happened...

Seriously? Seriously? You've got to be kidding. But wait, you're not. That's right, Philadelphians. Our favorite bad girl turned thief turned local celebrity turned future Hustler model, Joceyln Kirsch, is back the news. Apparently, there's a new allegation of credit card theft against her. So much for laying low in California.

Philebrity applauded the installation of solar panels at the Philadelphia Naval Yard while simultaneously making fun of Naval Yard denizen Urban Outfitters. Maybe next we'll get some windmills. We know of a few places to put them where there's plenty of hot air being blown about.

Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know!

Not too lazy to give you a few post-turkey news bullet points, though:

- And speaking of drug-dealing - what's worse than getting picked up by the cops for alleged drug trafficking? Maybe getting picked up for having "weapons of mass destruction" when the cops come to your apartment and find you have "a two-liter plastic soda bottle, covered with duct tape, with a several-inch long fuse sticking out of the spout" - or, a "condom bomb." Whatever that is. All we know is that no one wants to be around when a condom explodes unexpectedly.
- Poor Rocky. The placement of his effigy is once again under debate. To add insult to injury, journalists are using this battle as an excuse to trot out their limited boxing lingo in all the headlines.
