I promised myself I wouldn't ramble on tonight, partly because what I have to say probably isn't original and partly because Thom Hartmann's latest book is beckoning to me from my night stand. Was that just a name drop? Because I totally meant it to be. Ever since I read “What Would Jefferson Do?” and had […]
Timing, as they say, is everything. Just Saturday night, my lover and I took a stroll through the Southside to our favorite Cambodian restaurant and passed by a local confectionary called Chocolate Celebrations and the Milkshake Factory. You may recall a certain Post-Gazette article fawning over two certain members of this family owned business, siblings […]
A few days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Peduto thanking me for attending a house meeting in my neighborhood. This is how he signed off: “Together we can move Pittsburgh forward. Together we can win. I look forward to working closely alongside you to help build a New Pittsburgh.” Today I received the […]
Our favorite editor over at the CP sticks his toes into the muck that is Ann Coulter's latest brouhaha. As we mentioned earlier, the Pitt College Republicans have invited Annie to town for a talk on April 1, 2007. While none of the College Republicans responded to his Potter's request for an interview, he does […]
Vis a vis recent email … If you are dying to boo Ann Coulter off a stage come to this… Pitt's College Republican group is bring Ann Coulter to speak at Pitt on April 1st at 7pm in David Lawrence 120 & 121. “The event is free, but tickets are now required. They will be […]
Lots of speculation tonight on Bill Peduto's decision to pull out of the mayoral primary race. Pgh Comet and the Admiral are just a few speculating that Peduto has a master plan to run as an Independent, couldn't raise enough money, or really did refuse to go negative. I've talked briefly with both Political Junkies tonight. […]
Earlier this week, I attended a community meeting to learn what Bill Peduto has to offer us here on the Northside. I must admit I was prepared to buy when I walked in the store, but I completely fell in love with the merchandise. I liked what he had to say about taxes, the gay […]
I missed this letter to the editor from Keith Kondrich of Swisshelm Park (the most Euro sounding neighborhood in Pittsburgh). Keith took exception with the supporters of Ann Coulter: That harmless little racial joke, that innocent sexual stereotype, that silly political epithet slowly numb us until discrimination, harassment and violence become commonplace, indeed socially acceptable. […]
OK, maybe it has just been a long day in the trenches. Because I can't understand Reg Henry's latest column. In what I think is meant to be irony, he positions her “babe” status against her man qualities — being a hateful jerk. I have a question. How is it that Ann Coulter is so […]
Anti-war protesters chained together, their arms covered by tar and plastic pipe, blocked the entrances to Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center in Lawrenceville this morning. About 50 people were involved, including those chained together, those bringing them coffee and food, a makeshift band and other supporters. This is the type of civil […]
