PF Changs is on Twitter. I followed them among a few other companies as an experiment to see if I would be overwhelmed with spammy tweets. Instead, I got free appetizers and a great dining experience. After a few tweets sunk into my subconscious, I decided to take Ledcat out to P.F. Changs to test […]
Very sad news from Ft. Hood. The backlash against mental health professionals makes me sad. When people say things like “I deeply send condolences” while being interviewed on the set of Today, I don't believe them. I think they deeply want the attention of the moment and care more about the limelight than helping America […]
It is not a good post-election day to be a progressive queer person. A few bright spots, but being at my laptop at 4:15 in the AM is not a good sign for my overall state of mind. Tom Michalow was not successful in his bid for County Council. He fought a good fight and […]
Attached below, there is a copy you can print out and take with you to the polls on Tuesday. VOTE NOVEMBER 3rd 2009!!! It is critical that progressive people get out and vote this year!!! Statewide Judicial races dominate this year's elections. We all have seen in California, Massachusetts, & Vermont state courts play a […]
Wow, this is incredible news. The remaining fixture of Pittsburgh's gay nightclub scene is closing on December 6, 2009. “Back when the Pegasus Lounge first opened, it was a safe haven for gay people to be themselves and meet others with like-minded interests without the worry of being hassled,” said Noxon, 49, who has owned […]
“The way to resolve these inconsistencies,” she said, “is to permit gays and lesbians to serve in the military.” Today's Post-Gazette reprints a New York Times article on the banning of ROTC from campuses such as Harvard in response to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy which in effect bans openly gay men and women […]
Pat Downey of Squirrel Hill calls a bigot power move like she sees it. It has even created a new church structure to receive disaffected Anglicans — read, those who cannot tolerate their church's ordination of women and the election of openly gay bishops. That the Vatican is bending “sacred rules” to welcome these bigots […]
I downloaed IE 8.0 and highly suggest you do NOT do the same. Arrrgggg. I cannot cut and paste. How is a blogger supposed to maintain without cut and pasteability? The intensity of this week is off the charts. Ledcat is imposing a mandatory stay home and watch television rule tonight to slow things down […]
What a busy, busy week. Ledcat and I taped a segment for the Post-Gazette's “Omnivore” podcast with Mackenzie Carpenter on Tuesday. It is up on the PG+ site now. Being in the PG newsroom was quite heady for a geek like me. Dennis Roddy recognized my name. That's like Mr. Spock knowing a Trekkie's actual […]
During Monday's evening newscast on KDKA, sports reporter Jory Rand covered the story about Larry Johnson's use of homophobic slurs. Johnson plays foortball for the Kansas City Chiefs. The episode began Sunday night, when Johnson questioned Coach Todd Haley's football credentials on his Twitter account. He used the slur during an exchange with one of […]
