From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A transgendered couple from Cambria County with ties to the University of Pittsburgh have been subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh that is investigating the rash of bomb threats at Pitt. The couple, Seamus Johnston, 22, and Katherine Anne McCloskey, 56, said FBI agents visited their apartment […]
Today, we receive a lovely full color, multi photo Easter card from … M&Ms. Seriously. A Christian holiday card just a week after a full 8.5×11 color mailer and a color printed door knocker. I would laugh if his printing bill were more than $50,000. Then I would weep. httpv://youtu.be/U5-74QkzmGI
Name a current candidate for office and I’ll roll my eyes. I’m cynical that way, but seriously … ick. From lack of experience to criminal history to atrocious voting records, its just sigh after sigh. Well, there’s President Obama. I’m good to go there. News that the Department of Justice (DOJ in the twitterverse) will […]
So … the post office got back to me. More on that later. Martin Michael Schmotzer (M&Ms?) probably got wind of the fact that his opponents are passing this blog post around.

In case you are not aware, North Carolina residents are set to vote on a constitutional amendment that would define marriage and deny marriage equality. It is called Amendment One. This week, progressive bloggers across the nation are shining attention on this battle and encouraging folks to financially support the cause so we can get […]
Tuesday AM. The Pennsylvania House Committtee on State Government was scheduled to vote on HB 1434 which started the ball rolling on a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage. etc etc etc. Today, that ball didn’t go anywhere. Again. Debate on the proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex unions was put off until a dateTBD. The […]
When I was poking around the Facebook pages of a few elected officials, I found this on the page of PA State Rep Mark Mustio She didn’t read the link. The very first paragraph makes it very clear it is not about Pennsylvania. Then there’s the mind-blowing aspect of how someone could take […]
