He will also preach Sunday at 11 a.m. in St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Shadyside. Saturday's event, “Let the Whole Church Sing: […]
I truly do not understand City Council. How can only two of our electeds want to keep drilling out of the City? The Gulf Oil Spill is still gushing. The corporation and the bureaucrats are bungling the heck out of it. People's livelihoods are drying up. And the environment is dying. How a man as learned […]

Another D who voted against the repeal is District 10's Christopher Carney from Northeastern pA. […]

Random things you might find interesting … From Change.org, Gay-Friendly Google and Political Ambiguity. Politics, like all relationships, can get complicated. On one hand, a venerated ally like Google can be the most gay-friendly entity on earth. One another, there’s a lot of back room deals going on. It’s best to keep an eye on […]
