Luke Ravenstahl acted like a fool and lied to the public. Sad, but predictable. Hundreds of words have piled up around the Burghosphere calling him to task for his shameless disregard for truth (and his job). Meanwhile, five children in Larimer were killed in a horrible house fire. Someone blamed a non-existent teenage babysitter. Now it […]
Caught a story in the PG this morning stating the Peduto won't retract his accusations that the Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) is responsible for vandalizing several Shadyside businesses. Peduto claims they fit the profile, given recent acts of vandalism at a military recruiting station and Carnegie Mellon University. The most recent acts were tied to […]
The boy who would be Mayor President is making us feel guilty for upsetting his mama. According to the Post-Gazette's front page propaganda, er, article, the Mayor laughs in the face of those who would mock him. His sainted mother, however, weeps as we merrily make up awful crap about her son. Ha! Then there are […]
For those following the saga of my contact with the Allegheny County Democratic Committee … I spoke directly with Tiffany at the ACDC yesterday morning. She clarified the names and contact information for my committefolks. I asked her what their duties are and explained that I've never had any political contact with them (no contact at […]

President Bush said he will veto any bill that would include gays and lesbians in this existing hate crime law. His […]
Sometimes, people do pay attention. I just now received a call from a legislative staffer with State Representative Chelsa Wagner's office. My post to the Run, Baby, Run email list about Democratic Committee reps caught his eye, particularly the part where I stated that Pgh City Councilwoman Tonya Payne is the only elected official I've […]
Today is June 4, which marks the end of Stephen Glassman's five year term as chair of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. Governor Ed Rendell is expected to nominate Glassman for another term. Diane Gramley and her bastion of bigots are hopping mad about this and have churned out the hate literature fast enough to make […]
Ledcat informs that the ACDC has returned my telephone call and left the names of my comitteefolks on our voice mail. One is the lady I identified in my earlier post. I'll learn the other person's identity tomorrow when I get back to da 'burgh. I am going to call them back and find out […]
I'm getting ready for my journey to NYC, so I'm going to throw out a few first impressions of the City Paper's cover story ananlyzing the election outcomes, the potential for the three new City Councilpeople-elect, and, of course, where blogs fit into it all. * Interesting that Patrick Dowd and Bruce Kraus were interviewed […]
Where oh where have my little reps gone, oh where oh where can they be? During a recent heated discussion on the Run, Baby, Run listserv, I realized that I am not sure who my Allegheny County Democratic Committee representatives are. I moved to this here neck of the woods (Manchester) in 2005 and have […]
