  1. PSU 38 – Illonois 33

    Providence lost to 7th seed Louisville last night in college hoops. The loss comes in spite of scoring 76 points (Louisville scored 94). As a consolation for Providence, they could have beaten both Penn State AND Illonois whose game finished 38-33. The ridiculously low scoring game featured Penn State scoring...

    I’m a huge fan of the plan for Market Square (WTAE has the best story). I’m a big fan of walking over to PNC Park from the southside and stopping off on the way back at Primanti’s in market square. I’ve frequently joked with my friends in other cities about...

    Nate McLouth signed a long-term deal (through all three arbitration years) with a club option for his first year of free agency. Also, Charlie at Bucs Dugout points out that maybe, just maybe even if the Pirates haven’t greatly improved, everyone around them has gone down a notch. I’m a...

    A group of Religious extremists who believe many American politicians and servicemen will face the ultimate punishment for their evil doing wants part of this country turned over to religious law. In this society they will not have to follow any laws that disagree with what they believe are the...

    Yes she’s better looking then Rush Limbaugh, but she’s equally intolerable. Allow me to break down EXACTLY why. She speaks here from a template normally reserved for talk radio: Embedded video from CNN Video So let’s take this blow by blow (Cambell’s words in red, mine in black): Imagine if...
  6. Just How Good is Obama at the Basketball?

    Interesting video from CNN, great idea Anderson.  Magic Johnson tries to draw about 4 too many analogies between basketball and the presedency but everyone else provides some interesting thoughts on Obama’s game.  I haven’t played basketball since 4th grade, but it seems to me he really is not bad.Embedded video...
  7. Here’s a Thought

    Dowd picked the right horse in the Presidential Race.  He was an early and faithful backer of Barack Obama.  Right now, that’s hurting him.  If Obama had lost to McCain, maybe he would have dropped by and did a fund raiser for Dowd the way Clinton (Bill) did for Ravenstahl....
  8. You Know It, I Know It, How’d We Forget it?

    Mayor Luke Ravenstahl is going to be Mayor Luke Ravenstahl in 2010. We may not like his little snafus*, but the bottom line is this: he hasn’t screwed up enough to lose the primary. Ravenstahl has lost some of his political capital, sure but he still has more then enough...
