Little "L" lamb -- not Mike, gotta do an audit, Lamb -- even of the Controller's office after his victory in the election yet before he was even taking office. <BR/><BR/>Different topic. <BR/><BR/>I'm chilling. The advice above was to 'chill' -- for me. Rather, the advice goes to Bram -- and he needs to chill. it is early. It isn't 'over.' It is okay to chill in December. The chilled suggestion needs to go out to the others -- as I'm content as can be, as long as others stay calm too. Saying it is already over -- or 'last call' -- is the anti-chill position. <BR/><BR/>Bloggers can get worried about FEB or MARCH.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-84036294825231460262008-12-28T18:19:00.000-05:002008-12-28T18:19:00.000-05:00Matt, If he does you should follow that announceme...Matt, If he does you should follow that announcement with a long winded blog post about say, how he once tipped only 14% at Eat and Park.

Bram may not remember Josh Pollock, but he also probably never heard of Jim Carmine either. That means he has no idea you were once close to being a major party's candidate for mayor yourself.

His ink was the first to spill in that year and there might have been 7 Ds in the race that year. <BR/><BR/>It is a long road Bram. Don't do what the others do and declare others the 'lamb' before it begins. Progressives are to be 'open minded.' <BR/><BR/>The 'done-deal mentality' has been killing Pittsburgh for many decades. That has to be outed and put to an end. <BR/><BR/>Those who wish to champion the status quo are sure to rush the last call and end before it even began.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
