The boys decided they really had to visit the backyard at 6:30 AM so up I got.  Now I'm coffee'd up and had the wonderful joy of listening to my neighbor laying on her horn for ten minutes to get her kids out of the door.  Which brings me to the number one topic of […]

Peduto endorses Joe Hoeffel. “Joe Hoeffel is a progressive leader who will fight for Pennsylvania,” Peduto said. “I am supporting Joe, because he understands the challenges facing communities like Pittsburgh, and he isn’t afraid to make the tough decisions to change the direction of our economy for the benefit of working families. He has a […]

Yeah, I'm that impressed with the tip I received last night that Onorato had publicly stated his support for civil union at a rally in York, PA yesterday afternoon.  I confirmed with a campaign source, but I don't have any further details.  This is a long way from the candidate who simply refused to answer […]

Marriage equality dealt another blow in New Jersey when the NJ Senate votes down the bill. Please, please don't let this issue drive PA in 2010.  Please.  The Mayor plans to introduce rules which would expand his “zero tolerance” approach to domestic violence to the entire City workforce, not just the police.  One of my main […]

No matter the severity of the suggested “punishment” for homosexuality, the premise is uber-problematic. I also think it's important to remember that the anti-gay sentiment that created the bill has not been eradicated. Good point. […]

Yesterday, I posted a statement from Bruce Springsteen in support of marriage equality. “Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I've been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton. I've long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree […]

At the Bill Peduto fundraiser, we ran into Kevin Acklin who told us how much fun it was to watch the “Do They Know Its Christmas” video — what a blast from the past.  What's happening in the blogosphere this weekend? Pam's House Blend weighs in on Tiger Woods (love the “zipper down brigade” comment), […]
