FOP throws down on "women's groups"

Oh, snap.  FOP President Dan O'Hara did not just go there.  Oh. Yes. He. Did. Officer O'Hara called the police bureau's decision to even hold a hearing a “miscarriage of justice.” “This should be tried in the courts,” said Officer O'Hara. He said the city's decision to act quickly was based on pressure from women's […]

Canary in the Coal Mine by Maria Lupinacci

 I can't remember exactly when I started reading Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents but it couldn't have been too long after its inception because I had already added it to 2 Political Junkies' blogroll just a little over three months from its birth. So why did we choose to add a blog that centered on LGBT issues […]

I enjoy the blog […]

Blogiversary 2009 – The Plan

Blogiversary 2009 – The Plan

December 29 marks the end of my fourth year contributing to the Burghosphere.  Wow. And to commemorate the event, someone posted the obligatory women are fat/mentally ill/unbelievable slant in the comments section.  I must be doing something right (write?) if I still generate that sort of sniveling response from people who want me to just […]

First, the always surprising Mr. Potter singled out our blog and Maria of 2 Political Junkies for “shout outs” of sorts in his Christmas Eve summary of gifts he's […]

Post Holiday Round Up

Post Holiday Round Up

Prepare for a week of year end “round up” columns and stories, “Best Ofs” and all sorts of summaries by the opinion leaders.  E.J. Dionne identifies a 2009 shift: It is 2009's quiet story — quiet because it's about what didn't happen, which can be as important as what did. In this highly partisan year, […]

Following up on Hlavac

Man, am I in trouble.  In between the festivities, I spent time on the phone and email trying to verify the KDKA report on Hlavac on which I reported yesterday.  No other media outlet picked up the story which has led a few folks to ask me if I accurately reported on the KDKA story. […]
