Want to know what our hardworking Mayor is up to today?
Click here and watch him supervising the painting of a nuisance bar.

So again, as an update, Mayor O’Connor earned his money today.
Do you think if I paint my house, he’ll show up with a media posse?

Benny Soprano

Posted by pittgirl on 23 May 2006 | Tagged as: Ben Roethlisberger, Uncategorized

Looks like Benny gave up on making his mess of a hair do anything remotely appropriate for hair and decided to just slick the hell out of his tresses. I’m not feeling his mobster look.

Ew. I feel greasy just looking at him. Would someone please get this man a haircut?
Hat tip to Tony [...]

Thanks, PG.

And by “Thanks, PG” I mean, “Screw you, PG.”
What possible reason could the PG have for placing this picture so glaringly on their home page?

I mean, when I clicked on my PG bookmark and saw this oddly blue sky, I was a little blinded at first. Look how blue that sky is. Where [...]

What Bobby said this week …

While talking about the new Fifth Forbes Corridor, our mayor Bobby said:
“We’re certainly creating the atmosphere that the wow should want to come.”
The next time someone presents a concept to me at work, I’m going to say, “You know what. There’s no wow here. I don’t feel any wow. But you’re certainly [...]

Make a right at the whoa sign.

This is a Fox News picture of the FBI working in a town in Michigan where they are busy trying to find the remains of Jimmy Hoffa, rumored to be buried in a field there.

How awesome is that sign?
I say we change all of the stop signs in the city to “WHOA” signs. [...]

Rain, rain, you’re depressing.

Well that explains why on this rainy craptastic morning that I drove in, while waiting to turn left onto Sixth Avenue from Grant Street, I saw a mailman angrily flip off a truck driver that had parked in front of the William Penn Hotel for a delivery. Mailmen are usually so genial.
I have [...]

Pedal, pedal, pedal your boat, furiously down the Mon.

I’m not saying the dude is lying, but man, that does NOT look very stable to me.

I mean, what happens when the Gateway Clipper, a barge, or a speed boat goes by? You can’t tell me that sucker is going to take the wake too smoothly and NOT pitch you right off the seat.
If [...]

The city does NOT pay well.

So we all know that Twanda Carlisle’s days are numbered. For real.
Her “chief of staff” resigned on Tuesday after being questioned about the circumstances.
I placed “chief of staff” in quotes because if I’m ever having the title “chief of staff,” I expect to be making a hell of a lot more money that [...]

Weird Burghers on eBay … Volume Huh?

Posted by pittgirl on 17 May 2006 | Tagged as: Uncategorized

1. Look, I’m not trying to cause like a Burgh-wide panic, but … did you know that the gateway to hell is in the Burgh? 30 minutes north of the Burgh to be exact.
Seriously.
They say that if you walk under the middle of the trees and around the trunk of one of the trees [...]

The Mouth eats his words.

Twenty bucks says the White House called the Rooneys and said “if he doesn’t retract that, ya’ll ain’t visiting.”
“We will be guests of the president and I would never do anything to disrespect him. I consider our upcoming trip an honor and a dream come true. Our entire team is looking forward to visiting [...]
