A Decidedly Unpopular Question About the Tasering of Andre Thomas

A Decidedly Unpopular Question About the Tasering of Andre Thomas

I know everyone hates the police for using tasers and anyone who challenges that position is considered a insensitive clod for supporting a police state that brutalizes unarmed citizens.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Today's PG features a tidbit about the deceased Mr. Thomas who died after being tased by Swissvale police.  Battles ensue over cause of […]

Here’s What I Just Want to Just Ask Cat: An Open Letter

Here’s What I Just Want to Just Ask Cat:  An Open Letter

Dear Cat, I'm a 37 year old lesbian living and working in the City. Two years ago, I looked out my back window and caught a truck from a local company dumping excess cement into the lot behind my house.  I did all the responsible things — calling both 911 and the property owner.  Sadly, I […]

Sassy Marie’s, The Tribune Review, and Smash … the Lesbians Sum It Up

Wow … lots to share. First, we had one of the most delish meals in a long time this weekend at Sassy Marie's on the Northside.  Seriously.  The Cajun pasta I had was super reminiscent of my years in Louisiana.  They made the most delicious version of kettle chips with blue cheese and scallions.  And […]

The Lot That Ate Manchester:  Chelsa Wagner, the Trib and the PG weigh in

Is all this dumping a big anti-gay conspiracy?

Is all this dumping a big anti-gay conspiracy?

I could not friggin believe my eyes when we returned home today and found ANOTHER pile in the field.  This time it was gravel.  I have several possibilities rolling around in my head. 1.  PennDOT has authorized a subcontractor to store materials on the property, but won't admit it.  It isn't consistent with the gentleman […]
