Keep That Plywood Handy Edition

Say It Ain't So Joe!

OH The Humanity! Haven't they suffered enough?

The 09-29-09 11PM edition of Eyewitness News had a report attributed to reporter and talk show host Marty Griffin, that Pittsburgh is in line to host the next G-20 to be held in the United States! That would be in THREE years. Griffin reports that Obama was so impressed with the way Pittsburgh handled all facets of being the host city.

TRANSLATION: If the administration gets turned down again by any other cities, (which they will) be ready to take another one for the team!

Of course May Luke Skywalker and Obi Dan Kenobie (who thinks he will be governor at that time) are probably busy at this point cleaning the sticky goo from their pants as they are undoubtably are both crying like a little girl who just got pony.

Right now the city is undergoing "reviews" from the ACLU and many of the groups that "protested" during the G-Nothing. They are saying that the police overreacted, acted like storm troopers and started most of the confrontations.

Businesses are upset because they lost so much money, from having to close or move their operations. Parking lots lost money as they were forced to close. Restaurants that stayed open did not have the influx of customers they were told to expect, in fact, most of the ones that stayed open had little or NO business. Workers complained that they either lost work or were inconvenienced so bad, it wasn't worth coming to work.

Thankfully, the damage done by protesters was minimal (if you call up to $150,000 minimal). Maybe they couldn't get here, after all our slogan is YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE!

Maybe next time we won't be so lucky.

Or, maybe next time NO protesters will come!

Of course it didn't bother the big muck-ity mucks. They keep saying how wonderful it was. They keep saying that conventions are now starting to book because of the G-Nothing! BS! Show me, tell me, what conventions are coming here because of the G-Nothing.

As Billy Mays would say:

"BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!"

Keep that plywood handy kiddos! Marty Griffin also reports that Pittsburgh is being considered by the GOP (That's the Republican Party for those of yinz in McKeesport) for their convention in 2012!

Talk about taking a punch in the gut!

You have gots to be kidding me! The GOP in Pittsburgh? Do you know how many lefties will be coming here? Maybe they didn't show up for the G-Nothing, but you can bet your sweet bipie that they WILL be here for ANYTHING held by the GOP.
With the CHANCE that "W" would be there or even the "Evil Dick Cheney," you know they will be there, everyone of them. I don't know if this city can really handle the likes of Michael Moore again!

We'd have to stockpile the cannoli.
