I would provide witty comments on this news story …
A Brookline man shot and killed after a police chase on the North Side was carrying drugs inside his colostomy bag, police said.
“He’s known to law enforcement before,” said Chief Harper during a press briefing yesterday at police headquarters on the North Side. The drugs, [...]

Stretch. Then Wii.

Please, please, please do yourself a favor and go here to watch a special KDKA report on the Wii and the physical exertion that one may expend in playing certain games. Then do your best to not destroy your keyboard with spit-taked coffee as you watch a demonstration on how to stretch your muscles before [...]

REEEEEALLY stupid.

There’s stupid.  And then there’s REEEEEEEALLY stupid.  And then there is “what the hell was your mom smoking when she made you” stupid.
This lady falls in the last category.
A Clarion County woman who apparently used a stolen car to get to a state police barracks to be fingerprinted for a civilian job was arrested yesterday [...]

What they’re really thinking: All hope is lost edition

Where to begin?
Let’s start with Benny.
Benny. Bennybennybenny. WTF?
I think The Chin summed up Ben’s performance best:

Yeah, shit is right. If his passes weren’t completely off, they were deflected or intercepted. And I’m pretty sure he checked out of his brain every time a third down came up.
“For the first time in a long [...]

Feliz Navidad, babies!

Christmas is PittGirl’s favorite time of the year. PittGirl’s second favorite time of the year is football. You know this.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or Festivus or some other awesome holiday, it’s a great time of year to just kind of sit back and look at what you have, as opposed to what you [...]

Thank God for the fish commission.

Late posting today, but posting nonetheless. PittGirl’s most awesomest sister (like seriously, she’s 500 times more awesome than PittGirl) blew into town today and that means joy to PittGirl’s world … and baking at Mom and Dad’s house.
Fun! And fat.
Onward.

I’m so so so relieved to know that if I ever catch a fish that [...]

You ever watch one of those disaster movies where in the beginning of the movie, the earth is doing some weird underground unexplained things at a greater and greater frequency that eventually turn out to not be geological at all but rather the impending doom of say an underground volcano or massive sheep and people-eating [...]

So it looks like the North Side will be home to the first Pittsburgh casino.
My thoughts:
1.  I lunched with a member of the local panel about six months ago and we discussed which location would get the casino.  I told him I thought the South Side would be a traffic nightmare, because the South Side [...]
