As a native of Pennsylvania, I’m not surprised when I read things like this, but I am a bit disheartened. Pittsburgh is still very, very segregated. Walk into Eat’n Park on Clairton Boulevard just north of Century III Mall and you’ll hardly ever see a person of color.

How highly does John McCain esteem women? It’s a fair question now that Sarah “Quayle” Palin is on the ticket. Johnny M. might even say, “That’s an excellent question.”
The answer is as simple as “A-B-C.”
“A” stands for adultery, or possibly polygamy, depending on how you interpret the facts, and don’t care that the “A” comes [...]

I just hung up the phone with India.
I received a phone call regarding a bill I received for emergency room services in February at St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights. When I returned the call, I was greeted by a kind person with a slight accent. I couldn’t quite place the accent, but didn’t think [...]
