When is the last time you saw “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” written in “One of America’s Great Newspapers”?

With my feelings towards the aggressive pigeon population here in the Burgh being pretty well known by now, I tend to get lots of pigeon emails.

“You did a heck of a job reddin’ up these libraries,” said Mayor Bob O’Connor, who attended the session.

I knew he was a little old, but 161-years-old!? [...]

Last night, with nothing better to watch and being too lazy to watch the many episodes of CSI:Miami (Horatio Caine, yum) and Numb3rs that I’ve got Tivo’d, I somehow ended up on The Freaking Science Channel … or as I now call it, The Channel of Doom.

So that whole pay raise fiasco? Rendell says the reason he signed it into law was:

Which kind of makes sense, however, seeing as an election is coming up, shouldn’t he be more worried with kissing the voters’ butts?
Governor Rendell, you have a personal invitation to kiss my ass by revoking the state gasoline tax. [...]

I didn’t die. Posting will be normal tomorrow.
I am now in love with State Senator Mike Logan (D) who is introducing a bill this week asking for the suspension of the 31.2 cent per gallon sales tax on gasoline.

Did you ever have a day in which you wake up and then go … “meh.”
This is one of those days. Not much going on. Not hot, but not cold out. Monday. Work. Meh.

On Monday, April 17, Bob O’Connor said:
“We’re going to redd up Pittsburgh,” Mr. O’Connor promised in language any real Pittsburgher could understand.
And the firstest slogan via Sloganizer:
