BREAKING NEWS:

THE NEW PITTSBURGH COURIER DISSES OPIE AND ENDORSES DESANTIS
This just in from the DeSantis campaign:

Mark DeSantis is pleased to announce that he has received the endorsement of the
New Pittsburgh Courier. The Pittsburgh Courier’s editorial board stated in its
latest edition that they believe Mr. DeSantis is the right choice for
Pittsburgh. The editorial states:
“Yes, Pittsburgh is awash in change and that change should signal a departure
from the one-party dominance by electing Mark Desantis as mayor."

MacYapper - Also, here's a link to the new DeSantis campaign ads, where they're trying to act like they're not quite such an underdog.

We'd show you Opie's TV ads, but he isn't running any. Arrogance? Yes. Justified? We'll see. Obviously he's saving his doe for what he considers to be the REAL race, the one in '09.

Next debate? WQED Thursday night. Want to submit questions?

More mayoral mayhem in a moment. But first...

Yo, yo, yo MacYippers! What up?
Hey, didja hear the latest? Chicks blog! No shit! Chicks can type and think and write and say stuff and post pictures and everything. Just like their neanderthal counterparts with penises and testicles and stuff. Get the fuck outta here you say?

They can be snarky, satirical, nurturing, idealistic. They can be shy, fiercely guarding their anonymity behind monikers like "PittGirl" or "Agent Ska," or bold, like Justine Ezarki, a k a "iJustine," who, with the help of her camera phone, enables readers to follow her virtually every hour of the day.

MacYapper - Mackenzie Carpenter wrote this story, an excellent chick writer in her own right. And she's got a mean left. Her sister is Mary Chapin Carpenter. But that's neither here nor there. She also interviewed the mysterious and funny blogger "Pitt Girl."

Q: Do you "brand" yourself as a "woman blogger" or just a blogger who happens to be female?

A: Oh, boy. I am absolutely a blogger who just happens to be female. I'm not out there trying to say, "I am woman! Hear me roar about how this woman feels about this issue!" I'm just me.

MacYapper - Ah, but who is you? Yinz? Pitt girl remains anonymous. Carpenter informed her that I was sniffin' around trying to get the dirt. Or the dope. Or the bird's eye lowdown. Or the scoop. Or the poop. But Pitt Girl ain't talkin', see? Myeahhhh. (An Edward G. thing).

Now according to the legendary John Allison of the Post-Gazette, who once had lunch with Pitt Girl, the only known official sighting of the actual Pitt Girl, if she were to be outed, she might lose her job. So even if I ever do find out who the hell she is, I ain't a-gonna out her.

Just as I would never out Kevin McClatchy or Missy Hart.
Oops.

But I loves me some Pitt Girl, because she promoted my comedy show Thursday night at the Improv. Another reason I would never out her.
http://www.theburghblog.com/

It's the SEX, POLITICS, AND RELIGION COMEDY SHOW.
McIntire, Gabrielle Bonesso, Gene Collier. 8pm. The Improv.
Edgy bad-ass stuff. Be there and be square.
www.Improv.com

Other great bloggers who are chicks...
Maria of www.2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com
She also promoted the show.

Sue Kerr of www.pghlesbian.com
who has promoted many shows in the past, not to mention serving as my official Lesbian Correspondent on WPTT, KDKA, and the now defunct The Zone.

Frances Monohan, who got a lot of ink in today's PG, and who is an excellent blogger and a groovy-ass chick.

Also, a younger chicks perspective, from deep within the underground young person's political establishment (is that an oxymoron?) can be found at:

Agent Ska has also supported MacYapper comedy and is one groovy chick.

I'm sure I'm leaving someone out so I'm sorry in advance. Speaking of the fairer sex...

PUSSIES ABOUND IN CITY GOVERNMENT
So how predictable is it that the pussies on city council decided to delay the controversial vote on sanctions against cops who beat their wives and/or husbands until after the elections. I mean, really.

POST-GAZETTE.COM:
http://post-gazette.com/pg/07304/829979-100.stm
Pittsburgh City Council today postponed for two weeks a vote on an ordinance setting procedures for handling allegations of domestic abuse by police officers.

The decision came after Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said for the first time that he wants an ordinance on the subject, and as advocates for women sent conflicting e-mails to council members on whether they wanted a vote now or after further negotiations.

MacYapper - Yup, Pussy Boy Opie gets to have his abused coppers and eat them too. Or something. He gets to act like he cares about chicks but not endure the wrath of the cops, whose union as already endorsed DeSantis.

POST-GAZETTE.COM:
Council members were divided on whether they should insist on a specific ordinance.

"When it's an ordinance, it becomes the law of the city of Pittsburgh, and when it's the law of the city of Pittsburgh, only council can change it," said Mr. Peduto.

MacYapper - Exactamundo Billie Boy. Divided? Who are these boneheads? What to put in the ordinance, yeah, I get that it's complicated. But whether to have one? When so many other cities do? And when clearly, based on the record of wife abusing 'Burgh cops, it is absolutely necessary?
Mental midgets.

POST-GAZETTE.COM:
The delay comes after a flurry of e-mails to council reflecting a split among women's advocates about how to proceed. Several groups concerned with women's rights generally have advocated an immediate vote before Tuesday's general election, while some organizations which help battered women urged lengthier talks with the administration.

MacYapper - Dude. Or Dudettes, who want the delay. It's a mistake.
I understand you want a thoughtful deliberation, but it'll be watered down the longer you let these bozos banter.
But whatever. Opie wasn't going to let them do this before this Tuesday anyway.

EDWARDS WINS DEM DEBATE
So sayeth MacYapper. Despite all the hype about Obama telegraphing that he intended to come out swinging in the NYT, it was Johnny E. who threw the biggest punches.

POST-GAZETTE.COM:
http://post-gazette.com/pg/07304/829836-176.stm
Mr. Obama contended that the Democratic front-runner had repeatedly changed her position on crucial issues ranging from trade to the war in Iraq. But the sharpest exchanges in the early portion of the debate focused on Mrs. Clinton's vote in favor designating Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.

"She voted to give George Bush the first step in moving militarily against Iran," Mr. Edwards said of the Senate vote last month.

"This has incredible consequences for Afghanistan and Pakistan," said Mr. Biden. "[It] plays into this whole urban legend that American is on a crusade against Islam ... all it has done is hurt us."

"The way you put pressure on this administration is you stand up to them, you say no," Mr. Edwards added.

MacYapper - As Edwards pointed out, and as the NYT reported in its analysis, Hillary Dillary Dock (The Girl's Got Quite A Cock) seems to be strategizing towrd the general election, instead of the primaries... hence, her voting for the sanctions against Iran so Tutti Fruitti Oh Rudy can't nail her as being soft on evil.

I'm still thinkin' Hlllary's inevitable, but I've been an Edwards man since day one.
Go, Johnny, Go. Come on Iowans! Use them big corn-heads for some good.

DESANTIS BEATS OPIE
So sayeth MacYapper.

"KISS ME YOU FOOL"

As to who would utter that quotation, we'll let you be the judge.
Both combatants were stronger than I'd seen them. But Opie was slightly improved, and still monotone-drone-mobile.

Pray like a praying mantis for our longshot boy DeSantis was mucho improve-oh. By leapso and boundso. Congratso!

POST-GAZETTE.COM:

"We all make mistakes," Mr. DeSantis said. "What I didn't hear was a humility, a recognition that these were truly bad decisions. I hear him admit that he made mistakes, but I don't hear him say specifically what he is accountable for in those mistakes. And some of those mistakes were pretty serious."

Mr. Ravenstahl asked that voters judge him by his accomplishments in office, pointing out that he has submitted a balanced budget and put the city on the road to financial recovery.

MacYapper - Humility from Opie? Now that's a hot one.
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ass.
And the best point of the night, I thought, was when DeSantis pointed out that OPIE IS REQUIRED BY LAW to submit balanced budget. SO WHAT KIND OF AN ACCOMPLISHMENT IS THAT?
