We will be gathering at 11am in the courtyard of the County Courthouse, 414 Grant St., to deliver a press statement on behalf of the Congressman. Representative Dan […]
It has been awhile. Thankfully, Kris Saunders of Squirrel Hill has brought back the homobigot rant to the editorial page of the Tribune Review. Kris is of the mindset that the pedophilia scandal in the Catholic Church is a result of rampant tolerance of homosexuality. But it is odd that the Trib, which has called […]
This morning, Ledcat and I toddled down to Millvale to try out their incarnation of Pamela's Diner. I expected to be thrilled and amazed by yummy strawberry pancakes, but turns out it took a chair to slay me. Michelle Obama's chair. Well, she doesn't *own* the chair. She sat in it. When she stopped by […]
As reported in today's Rich Lord article, the attitude of Public Works Director Robert Kaczorowski pretty much exemplifies the worst type of entitlement so many public <ahem> servants exhibit.

The grassroots folks are calling for more accountability from Gay, Inc. perhaps to form a more cohesive and inclusive strategy to getting *something* accomplished? Personally, I think stripping away the veneer of cooperation […]
US Congressman Patrick Murphy is an ally. He doesn't promise to vote for repealing DADT. He is a military veteran who openly pushes for repeal. Check out his website. He has positive polling in his district. But he's not polling well in terms of reelection. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), an Iraq war veteran, is […]
Is it possible that after the Dems are slaughtered in November, us “dissatisfied” progressives will revolt in Tea Party style and wrest control of our party away from capitulating milquetoasts? Did I even spell that correctly? Do I care enough to check? No. I just want to find some hope in the future and some […]
