We’ve been through this before (that one ruined my 9th birthday, I’ll have you know, and it’s far worse than anything Jeff Verszyla is predicting right now). We are located in southwestern Pennsylvania, not southwestern Florida. We receive snow between the months of October and March, sometimes up to 6″ at once.

So why, for the love of all that is good, have I not seen a single plow or salt truck out tonight? Why is it that I, along with two very kind friends, had to push my car home while my husband tried not to run over us?

Seriously, WTF? Maybe the Manchild Mayor should stop focusing on appearing as ridiculous as humanly possible and actually take care of the city?

Hugs and kisses,

Christina

Rendell’s non-apology for his sexist remarks about Arizona Gov. Napolitano. Great, and I’m glad the PG’s covering it.

However, this more recent post is about Michelle Obama’s wardrobe and how she has a “second chance” to make up for the apparently heinous dress she wore the night of the election, which, Early Returns is eager to remind us, they hated.

Ugh.
