Gone already?
And the award for shortest blog ever goes to Pittsburgh City Councilman Jim Motznik, whose foray into online slander lasted two whole inglorious posts. Thankfully someone had the foresight to resurrect the site for posterity’s sake. I guess when the mayor speaks, you listen, even if he is fifteen or so years your junior. (Oh, and also, just so you know, he started a new blog to tell everyone he is no longer blogging.)
There are over nine months to go before the special mayoral election and there’s already been some snide comments between the two camps. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I can say that I am disappointed. This election has the promise to be the most progressive one the city has seen in years – probably ever – and the possibility for fresh ideas is very exciting. I would hate to see the race degenerate into the mud-slinging party that all too often substitutes for political discourse in this country.
