Look at what happens <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ipdZCJWRs" rel="nofollow">when he <i>does</i> make it</a> to meetings.<br /><br />None of the little dramatic incidents like the Cookie Cruise ever made a scratch, even when they got blown up all sensational in the news. Pittsburghers have demonstrated that they care about 1) how the City as a whole seems to be going and 2) how plans for the future sound. And they're not wrong. Everything else just comes off as political carping, he said / she said, throwing mud. That's why the blogs died. The way I figure it, if we can together finagle some green infrastructure, fiscal reforms and brisk, healthy development with the leadership Pittsburgh is happy with, why tilt at windmills just because it's not the West Wing up in here. I only posted it because it's August recess, it involved a blog, and accusations of "screaming" tend to get a bump in traffic.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-72439849755886009992012-08-31T22:38:57.363-04:002012-08-31T22:38:57.363-04:00Whatever they call it at Panera, it's just a f...Whatever they call it at Panera, it's just a fancy word for mayonnaise.MHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-90728591601627431992012-08-31T21:37:17.926-04:002012-08-31T21:37:17.926-04:00Bram, just had the time to watch the video link of...Bram, just had the time to watch the video link of Ravenstahl you posted earlier.
