Here are some articles I would like to read in the City Paper. In no particular order. 1. Who are the Flower People? You know them. They walk up and down the lanes of traffic at busy intersections, hawking flowers. There is one older gentleman along Penn Avenue. I want to buy flowers b/c I […]
The Post-Gazette's “Next Page” featured a fascinating article on the implementation of deliberative polling around marriage issues. My interpretation of this process is that it strives to create an informed voter, rather than create systemic changing dialogue grounded in consensus. At the core of deliberative polling lies the belief that to develop an informed opinion […]
Last night, Ledcat and I stayed up very late to go see John McIntire's show at a new season of Late Night Cabaret at Theater Square. It was a fun evening with lots of snark and wonderful off the cuff comments. And in the great Pittsburgh tradition, the panel on sexism and racism included three […]
Today's Post-Gazette includes a reflection from a member of Calvary Episcopal Church on the impending vote of the local diocese to leave the US branch and join a more conservative branch. It is very flourishy, too much so for a beautiful late summer Sunday in the sense that I prefer to go for a drive […]
Two articles in today's Post-Gazette caught my attention. First, the ongoing drama of the Pittsburgh Episcopals. First, the local diocese decides to vote themselves off the American Episcopal Church island over the ordination of woman and gays. A few Pittsburgh churches stay on the island. Then the island itself (American Church – stay with me) […]
Knowing this group, homophobia will be part of the conversation. Right, John? Pittsburgh Pundits presents…Sexism, Ageism, Racism, Politics & Comedy! Pittsburgh Comedian and TV/Radio Political Pundit John McIntire leads a Pittsburgh cast of political and socially conscious comics and pundits in a combination comedy/political analysis show. Some would suggest there's a thin line between what's […]

Here's the link to the PA Voter Information page. http://www.votespa.com/ All you need to know. Now, if you are looking for some guidance […]
I love that we have this cool film festival every year and always feel bad for missing most of the films. I think we managed to get to two last year. We did not like the after-party at the Cheesecake Factory so I think we'll skip that this year. It must be very hard to […]
thank goodness my doctor told me to go home and stay in bed AFTER the electricity came back on. we may only get four channels, but if i had to lay here in the dark without being able to see what Jack, Carly, Holden and Lily are doing … i hate bronchitis. i hate the […]
Arrggg. We'll cross the 48 hour mark tonight and word on the street is that we may have to wait until FRIDAY. It is all rumor b/c distributing information seems to be a big weak spot in the world of Duquesne Light. All of this — all of this — would be much better if we […]
