Catherine Baker Knoll is a heartless person

I say Catherine Baker Knoll is a heartless person. Why would I say this? I say this because she crashed a funeral of a fallen Marine, to make an anti-war message. I have no problem with her being against the war and saying so, that is her constitutional right, but you do not crash a[…]

The Post-Gazette also has an article on the protest yesterday The title of the article is not very nice, but the article itself is ok, but you have to remember the Post-Gazette is more of a liberal leaning paper. But they did get it right about the counter protest using profanities, but what they got[…]

New section to the web site, bad drivers

I am getting tired of idiot drivers passing way to close when I am biking, read that as less then a foot to spare. Aggressive drivers yelling at me to “get off the road”. I have had cases where when I am going the speed limit I will take the lane, as it is called,[…]

I been temped to get a pro-life bumper sticker for my bike bag, but I have not done so yet. Here is the reason I have not done it as of yet. When I use to have a car I have had cases where people would try to run me off the road, yelling at[…]

Well I just sent off a letter to the editor of the Post Gazette, about critical mass, I wrote because I think critical mass is a bad idea, and hurts cyclists in the long run. Here is the letter I sent off to the editor I would like to write about an “event” that will[…]

It looks like bob O’Connor has won. I got a strong feeling that he is just WRONG for the city, but the sad thing is since he is the democrat nomination he will win in November, but one thing is for sure, this O’Connor will be out campaigning against that O’Connor, I doubt it will[…]

Well I did it, I voted today; I went down and voted on the 3 things my voice would matter in. The 2 referendums and the special election for the state senate. Being a republican I did not bother to vote on the primaries, it not like it would have mattered, the republicans never win[…]

Published on: May 15, 2005

I just read about the other referendum on WPXI’s web site. After reading the article and seeing a talk show on the race (here) I don’t think this is a good referendum. Yes cutting jobs in government does sound good, but the jobs they want to cut, are important ones, and I don’t thing they[…]

The City is cracking down on scalpers

The City of Pittsburgh is limiting scalpers to a limited area, I think this is a good start, but I believe that the city should make scalping illegal; my opinion is that scalpers are the scum of the earth. They try to buy up all available tickets then try to sell them for more then[…]

On the day of the Primary there is also going to be a vote on a referendum. It is being promoted as Growing Greener environmental bond. Since I have a bit of a distrust for referendum’s on a election, I looked further into the act that is in question. I found the text from the[…]

This is just scary, a movie that my sister loved as a youth, is now looking less like fiction and more like perverted experiments. The one line that a friend of mine said was odd was “immediately killing any that display human-like behavior” and then he proceed to ask “what exactly would be considered human-like[…]

Small But Disorganized has an entry on a company SeaCode that wants to “anchoring a 600-cabin cruise ship off of California just outside the three-mile limit” so that they can “outsource” out side of the US, so they don’t have to pay US taxes. To me I would think that they found some way to[…]

No this is not an anti-MS post. I feel sorry for them in this post. They are getting pressure from 2 sides of a HOT political issue. The issue is homosexual stuff. First let me say I do not believe homosexuality is a moral activity, but the contrary is an abomination to God as stated[…]

Being a Conservative in Pittsburgh

Being a Conservative in Pittsburgh is something that is almost unheard of. In Pittsburgh it is almost a crime to be a conservative, remember the 2 parties in Pittsburgh politics are democrats and “out of office” I know I will not get to vote for the major in the elections. Why do I say this,[…]
