G-20, Gee Whiz … RUN!

G-20, Gee Whiz … RUN!

Is the Post-Gazette going to shut down during the G-20?  Anyway, the State can commit $6.3 million to a two day summit in Pittsburgh and not a penny of it extends to protecting civil liberties.  No wonder your elected officials don't care that your programs and services are about to run out of the money […]

The Warhol Party: lanyard envy and tote bags

You know I've been helping with this little shindig at the Warhol, known as the “Unofficial” Official After Party for NetRoots which I in turn dubbed the “Gay Immaculate Reception” when I learned Mr. Franco Harris was planning to attend.

Saying Good-Bye to Grandma

Saying Good-Bye to Grandma

Diane Gramley a little behind the curve on spreadin’ the lies

Talk about delayed reactions.  On July 1, Allegheny County Council passed the Countywide Non-Discrimination Ordinance.  On August 11, the American Family Association of PA prez Diane Gramley's ridiculous screech was printed in the Post-Gazette.  Not even worth quoting.  She's completely on to our hidden agenda to forcibly convert the Boy Scouts and send men in […]

Random-ness

Random-ness

Busy day.  We stopped by the Mall to discover that I have a “proprietory” watch (Fossil) which translates into driving to Grove City to buy a watch band.  Not cool, Fossil.  Not cool.  I'm planning on wearing my pocketless culottes tomorrow so I can't even carry around my Blackberry as I galivant between offices.  Not […]
