You Know You're a Pittsburgher if.....

You've been crying this week. 

Yes, Chuck Noll--one of the most beloved coaches in Football--passed away this week. 

One of my neighbors saw my tears and asked why I was crying. I told him, "Chuck Noll died." 

 He said, "Oh yeah, I heard that. He was the Pittsburgh coach for awhile, right?" 

 My answer: "Yes."

 "Why are you crying? Did you know him?"

 Well...did I know him? Yes and no. I never met the man so I didn't know him personally. But I'm a Pittsburgher and he coached the Pittsburgh Steelers. We're family. We don't have to be related to be family. We're part of the Steelers Nation. We wear Black & Gold, and we all bleed Black & Gold. 

 So YES, I knew him--knew him and loved him--just like the rest of the Steelers Nation. 

 He led the Steelers Dynasty and brought home FOUR Superbowl trophies. 

 Chuck Noll will always be remembered and loved by the citizens in the City of Pittsburgh and by those who love the Steelers all over the USA, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.

REST IN PEACE, CHUCK. WE LOVE YOU.

And that's what I think.....................

Jeb Bush--How Dare You!!

I tried to post this on Jeb Bush's website, but apparently the site accepts nothing but pleasant fluff... So I am posting this open message here, and if anyone knows how to get Jeb Bush's attention, please direct him to this site.  Jeb Bush : HOW DARE YOU!  First of all, let me make this perfectly clear: Having the last name of Bush does not entitle you to the presidency--contrary to what your family believes. But that's not the primary issue here. The issue is this: How DARE you try to take Medicare away from the people who worked hard and paid into it for years! You called it entitlements. Handouts. Want to talk about entitlements? Handouts? HANDOUTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Six-figure retirement package. 2. Guaranteed medical coverage for life. 3. Medical coverage for spouse for life. 4. Secret Service protection for retired official. 5. Secret Service protection for said official's spouse and family.  DEFINITION OF ENTITLEMENTS: Things that

Government Shutdown

This seems to be the talk at every gathering, every dinner table, and everywhere else these days. In my opinion, it's despicable, not to mention unprofessional and childish. Shutting down the government because a group doesn't like a program is just like taking your ball and going home because you don't  like the rules. And if non-essential workers are furloughed, why is Congress still there? Oh....that's right. It's non-essential workers---not non-productive workers. Now here are some of the departments and agencies that are considered NON-ESSENTIAL: CDC--Center for Disease Control . Nope. I guess that's not important. They only identify diseases and their sources, which could stop an epidemic. It's too bad they can't stop the epidemic of Congressional Stupidity. Labor Department --Well, I guess if nobody is working, this department isn't needed. EPA--Environmental Protection Agency . Oh well hell, we don't need this. Filthy air and

What is Happening?

What happened to America? Where did the United States go?  Tearing families apart, throwing crying, screaming children into cage-like facilities?  MY GOD, PEOPLE! WHY ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN? ICE and now the Border Patrol behaving like the Nazi enforcers in Hitler's Germany! SO WRONG! Joe Kennedy III said it correctly: HUMANITY has nothing to do with a green card, a visa, or citizenship.  It has to do with the treatment of people.  AND THERE IS NO HUMANITY IN THIS BEHAVIOR!!  OH. MY. GOD!! Children screaming and crying as they are being yanked away from their parents is HORRIFIC!!! THIS IS NO LONGER THE UNITED STATES!  THIS BEHAVIOR DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT WAS ONCE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! SO SAD! EVERYBODY NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR HUMANITY-- RIGHT NOW!! LET''S GET OUR PRIDE IN AMERICA BACK!!!  RIGHT NOW!!! And that's what I think................
