It Is So Clear That Jim Motznik Should Be President of City Council (eventhough preseident of the United States wont be bad)

I know today is a Steelers Day and I usually don't Blog but I have something to say...

I've been hearing that on Monday, City Council is going to be voting for a new City Council President. We all know after what happened with Bob O'Connor (God rest his soul) and then Luke became Mayor because he was Council President. For the last year, I have been so worried that nothing happens to The Mayor because I kept thinking look who would become Mayor - Doug Shields!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that there is going to be a vote on Monday, maybe we can put someone in there who everyone would like as Mayor - Jim Motznik!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know from his past record that he would do exactly what Luke would do because he has done everything that Luke has wanted him to do. Who knows The Mayor's agenda better than him! If Motznik were it, it would make The Mayor's life so much easier. Get around all that City Council stuff with that "we are trying to represent people" when all they want to do is just be mean. What we need is a City Council that will just let stuff that The Mayor wants to happen happen.

Mr. Motznik is the best choice because he has been around a while and he knows how the city works and he is mean enough that he'll make all the poop heads on council do what he wants. I'll feel sorry (not!) for the big Pedutohead when Motznik is in charge. The first thing Mr. Motznik should do is make Pedutohead only have a crayon and coloring book at his desk during council meetings and maybe a sippy cup.

The big test is going to be the new people who are coming to council. There is the doctor teacher, the gay guy and the black church guy. I can't remember there names yet, but hopefully people have already talked to them and they are going to vote the right way - for The Mayor. This is going to be the big test to see if they are poopheads or not!!!

Remember readers, Doug Shields represents Squirrel Hill and remember who they voted for Mayor - RESANTIS! So remember they hate Pittsburgh. Doug Shields hates Pittsburgh. Let's see if the new Council people hate Pittsburgh too!!! I hope not. I pray they don't!!!

I AM NOT ON HIS LIST SO HE IS OFF MINE!!!!!!!!!!

I opened my paper this morning and I spit my coffee all over my carpet. It is a good thing my carpet is a nice dark green so it doesn't show stains to good. Right there on the cover was a picture of Danny O kissing his family and a hole story about him getting sworn in. Where was my invitation?

Here I am, the first blog to endorse Mr. Onorato for Governer( which he never aknowleged and I took back). Then he has his big party, and I hear nothing about it. Can't he remember the little people who got him to where he his? Here I am an old lady writing a Blog but I must have got him at least 5 votes plus my own!!!! And he just blows me off.

This is hard for me, but I am taking my endorsement back even further. Imagine I took it back but now I've taken it twice as far back. It is going to take a lot for him to get back to the even. Don't pass Go and don't get $200!!! Go straight to jail!

I was pretty angry about the whole drink tax thing not that it would effect me. I hardly never go out and drink. I stay at home, but I just keep thinking about the children. Here we are always talking about the young people in Pittsburgh and keeping them around, but Here comes mister big pant Danny Boy who taxes there drinks. The kids are just like the senior citizens. They don't have big wallets to afford their drinks. If we wanted to keep young people around, WE"D MAKE THE DRINKING CHEAPER!!!!

I don't blame the young people for wanting to move to Cranberry or Butler County.

This is going to be hard for me, but I have a Dan Onorato T-shirt I have been saving from the first time he was elected head of the county (he was the first Democratic County Executive! so I figure it was historic. It is a white shirt with his blue and black logo. I have hardly worn it except a few times as a night shirt). I'm going to give my shirt away. The first person who e-mails me at strawberryway@gmail.com and asks for the shirt gets it FOR FREE!

In other news, I saw that some Upper St Clair county council guy put in a bill saying that the Homestead exemption should be raised to $25,000. My house is appraised at $11,000. Does that mean I'm going to be getting like 14,000? If that is so, I am so happy. Dan you better pass that bill because that is the type of property tax relief I'm looking for!!!! With that kind of money, I'd buy every young person in Allegheny County a drink. There are about 100 young people left so it wont be that expensive.

The Grandest of New Years to All

The year of the past 2007 was a formable of my life. I found the fair city of Pittsburgh thank you to the Internet and was slowly seduced. Now I am in a full love affair with a city on the other side of the world.
If I am allowed to compare Pittsburgh to a woman, I would say it has been like finding a young woman in a corner of library of books. Though she is not of the make of a super model, I sense something special. I walk close to the table where she is studying. Here hair is up like a librarian. I sit down to talk to her and she is very friendly. I notice she is not reading the most literary of books maybe something like a book of self help for her low esteem. I tell her she needs to put her chin in the air and to stop feeling like the runt of the litter of calves. Then I sing her a song....

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there....
inside you...

Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly....
a little bit...

Hey there, Georgy girl
Theres another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
and, oh, what a change thered be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Dont be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf....
a little bit....

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change thered be
The world would see a new Georgy girl...
Wake up, Georgy girl
Come on, Georgy girl

At this point she absorbs the wisdom I am giving. She let's down her hair and takes off her stuffy sweater. She becomes Lindsey Lohan!

She shines with a brillience that she has she never thought she had inside. She becomes the most beautiful of the whole world.

My goal for 2008 is to make Pittsburgh into Linsey Lohan. Pittsburgh, I hope you listen to my wisdom or else you are doomed to becoming an old maid! Remember there are people who want you to stay ugly so they can feel better than you. You must destroy them.

Also as a goal for 2008, I hope to make my virgin trip to Pittsburgh. You must become the Lindsey Lohan before then or you will make me very sad. It will cost me much money to make my journey unless I find someone from Pittsburgh who will see the value of me visiting and will pay my journey and expenses. I have recieved offers from Nigeria to help me pay but I do not need to also have the Nigeria kings hidden fortune as well. I prefer my simple life. I would hope for a powerful Pittsburgher of passion and vision to step up and say, "Pierre, we are the Lindsey Lohan and we wish for you to come to us and make love." I believe all possibilities are possible.

I am back ( and I know some of you wish I had died)

I am finally back. I had an awful time. I had an infection in my toe and then I ended up in the hospital. I had to spend the Christmas Holidays in a hospital bed but atleast I didn't have to spend time around my jaggoff family.

It has been such a great year. I started this great Blog and made so many new great friends. Around the city it has been great. The Mayor won twice. The first time the Pedutohead just gave up and us real Pittsburghers won. The next time back in November, The Mayor easily beat back the Pittsburgh-haters when he defeated the ReSantis.

The Mayor just keeps on winning all the political battles. He got the UPMC Promise thing going. It has been a great year to be a supportor of The Mayor. He just keeps winning and winning. For all those Mayor-haters, it must be like being a Pirates fan - always hoping for a win and always losing!!!!

I've wanted to do a top ten list or a best of for the whole year but I'm sure you can find those all over the Bloghersphere. Just remember when you read them and they are negative of The Mayor just turn it around and make it postive of The Mayor and you will find the truth.

It is going to be a great year. Pittsburgh is going to be the same great Pittsburgh it has always been. I wish all of you - including the jaggoff Pittsburgh haters - a great new year.

Christmas of Pittsburgh

Hello from the always full of joy Paris...

[Here the first post from Andre, who is my friend who lost his job due to us watching the Steelers at his Store where he worked. To raise his spirits since I have made him a fan of Pittsburgh is that we shall write a Guide to Pittsburgh. This is his first attempt. I have helped with the English and enabled it to be read by you. We hope you enjoy our project!]

Celebration of The Christmas in Pittsburgh

The focus of the The Christmas celebration in Pittsburgh is a dead tree that is placed in the home for the duration of the Steelers season. It is decorated with popcorn that has been lanced on string. Then the tree is draped with aluminum foil strips called "tinsel". Every home in Pittsburgh has a creche that contains the traditional baby Christ with his Mother and Father plus a sampling of local people held in high regard such as Mr. Luke Ravenstahl or Mr. Ben Roethlesburgher. The only animal allowed in the barnyard is a donkey which represents the strong loyalties to the Democratic Party wihich is the ruling political party in the Pittsburgh area.
The children are scolded all year to be good or the Santaman (similar to Pere Noel) will leave scrape steel or iron shavings in a foot sock that each child hangs from the place of fire in the living room. The Santaman descends the chimney to gain entrance to the household and will leave presents under the dead tree. He travels with a group of deer who can fly. People do not find this strange.
On Christmas day, there is a fest of sausage in the style of sausage in Poland. Also, most people eat onion mayonaise which is dipped in to with fried chips of potato. For most of the day, most people including children drink "7 and 7" which is a drink of Canadian Whiskey and a soft drink named 7 UP. In some parts of the Pittsburgh, there is a tradition of drinking the 7 and 7s until the tounge is free for all family members to vent all the wrong doings of the others that have transgressed through the previous year. The next morning most do not remember what happened but they feel cleansed to start a new year of transgressions.
Another center of the celebration is the television which must not be turned off for the whole day. It must be tuned to college football even if no one cares about the game or is watching it.

Traditional Recipe: Pierogi
1) fry onion in butter
2) open a box of Piergoi and add to butter onion
3) stir until golden brown
4) serve on plate

I AM SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I havent been able to get to my computer fer so long because my big toe is infected and I have so much to say. I am sooooooo mad.

1st, I had to crawl upstairs to get to my computer and I forgot my notebook that I have been keeping of all the things I've wanted to say. I am so mad!!!!

2nd, I am going to miss The Mayor's big party tonight. I was hoping to go to it even though I never recieved a personal email inviting me. I was looking so forward to it, but now I'm going to be stuck at home. Good luck Mr. Mayor!

3rd, so the dumpy city paper named some Pittgirl the Best Blog in Pittsburgh. I've been using "the BEST blog in Pittsburgh" for my blog for a long time now and it is really low for them to try to steel my idea. Im insulted, but I don't put much faith in their choices. It is like my old Hungarian Grandfather use to say, "Do you want to be compliemented by a backend of a horse?"

4th, I am so mad about everyone being so hard on UPMC. They are giving a big gift and people like the Pedutohead are like ungreatful kids. I sort of agree with Mr. Len Bodack that UPMC should just give all the money to the catholic school kids. They are the ones who have paid all the taxes but haven't used the schools. They should be given a big present.

5th, I am soooo mad that the table games have started in West Virgina and I wasn't there. I love the opening of new casino things, but I have missed that.

6th, My big toe is awful and I hate it and I wish it would just go away. The pain pills are good and I can see how these kids get hooked on them. I've stopped using them and have gone back to my tried and true Pittsburgh pain relief of IC Light. It is better for me and for all of Pittsburgh.

7th, I am so mad. Just leave The Mayor alone.

I am craweling back down stairs now.

Wish Strawberry Way A Better Health and Our Grand Adventure

From Paris....

I recieved a e-mail from the Daughter of the Daughter of Strawberry Way...

Pierre,
My grandma wanted me to tell you that she had to get a hangnail fixed on her big tow and it is infected. She cant get up the stairs to the computer so she is sleeping on the couch. Shes all worried about her "fans" on her blog worried about where shes at. Can you tell them that she is fine except for her jaggoff big tow. She is writing a bunch of stuff in a notebook but I told her there is noway I'm going to type all that stuff up. I told her that I'd let you know what is going on.
4ever
Tiffany

I am unable to figure the meaning of big tow but I feel sorry and am sending grand wishes of health. I pray she does not fall pray to The UPMC.

On a note that is different. I was unable to watch the Steelers this past weekend and I fear that I will be unable to watch the next game. I fear they will loose with out my watching. While I am joyful that I have yet to see The Steelers loose I am saddened with their current performances. [ Mr. Bram, with my current busyness I must let the computer robots update my Steelers Nation Blog. I hope this does not disappoint you?]
In a sad event, my friend Andre who works at department store where we have watched games has had his job taken away due to our television watching. His spirits are in deep vast toilet of life. He has moved into my small apartment. To raise his spirits, I have put him on a grand project that I have been dreaming. We are writing a Guide to our adoptable City of Pittsburgh. This is a large feat in the vain of the large tomes of the Great Greek Homer. The english of Andre is very poor so I must work very hard myself. Wish us well on our adventure.
