I’d like to predict that this guy is likely going to be on the fifth edition of The Apprentice. When asked about torture of terrorists, others in the interview room at the Pittsburgh interviews were aghast, but not Jason:
“Other countries hate us anyway,” said Jason Kellogg, 30, of Erie. “We might as well torture the [...]

I have a romantical mind, and in my mind Brian and “woman” are single parents that met at the pediatrician and Brian was too nervous to ask her for her number and is now regretting that decision.
“Woman” if you are reading this, call Brian. Unless of course Brian is a weirdo who is into preying [...]

Rep. H. William DeWeese, the State House minority leader said this to the Trib:
DeWeese voted yes, citing the [...]

You know what? Scientology scares the crap out of me. For real.
I have just become obsessed with reading about it and trying to determine what my position is on this “religion” (Thanks bunches, Tom Cruise!). I’ve read mostly first- and second-hand accounts, the scientology web page (no WAY am I linking to that) [...]

And I thought the Greater Pittsburgh House Rabbit Club was awesomely ridiculous!
I had no idea about the folks at the Western PA Mushroom Club. I mean with a motto of “Fungi, Fun, Friends”, how could that club NOT be awesome!?
Not only do they have a website, they have a newsletter, officers, contests. They also [...]

Oh my God. Don Bell was RIGHT when he said:
“Someone asked, ‘How do we know there aren’t ads in grocery stores in Mexico that say ‘Move to Beechview,’ ” he said.
My friend in Cancun was at Chedraui, the Mexican Supermarket, and saw THIS flyer plastered all over the freakin’ place!

Okay, so now the State Police are claiming they will not participate in the $650,000 motorists survey and that they never agreed to it and they just ain’t doing it.
I’m betting a huge chunk of that $650,000 budget was for police salaries for those cops forced to handle the roadside survey-taking. So now that the [...]

Pennsylvania’s chief justice, who lobbied for a judicial pay raise that state lawmakers passed along with salary increases for themselves and cabinet secretaries, yesterday described opposition to the new law as “knee-jerk.”
“I’ve been watching what’s been happening out there and I’ve been noticing that instead of a reasoned response, I have yet to hear [...]
