I heard that no computers were working in Pittsburg this morning.

Computers with Windows on them come pre-broken.

If you read all the pre-Super Bowl hype and "local color" articles,
you'd have learned that Pittsburgh is a blue collar town where the
inhabitants are simple folk that love their football, drink Ahrn City
beer and make stuff by banging rocks together, digging coal out
of the ground, and bending large chunks of metal. No computers
in Pittsburgh.

originally from Pittsburgh

P.S. Lost in all the blue collar Pittsburgh vs. Starbucks/Microsoft
Seattle hype is the fact that both are, somewhere under the modern
gloss, very old school old-labor cities: Pittsburgh is well known;
Seattle (as Phil knows well) has lots of metal-bending heavy industry,
and is the only large US city ever to have organized (or suffered,
depending on your politics) a general strike. Also, both have lots of
good hills for bike riding.

I hear there's Gonna be a "General Strike" in Tehran any time at all.

Gorgeous George will of course be leading from the Rear as usual after

cartoon competition are awarded their 2 Gold coins

Yeah, but Seattle also rioted for the WTO.

Molotovs, monorails, and mochachinos are a dangerous combination.

Jeez, I am a dumbass. If the rest of my family discovers my
dubious grasp of labor history, I may be disowned. In my defense,
due to homerism, the Homestead Strike was the only one they
taught us about in grade school.

"mochachinos"

I think calling a Mocha a "mochachino" is about as bad as calling "The
City" - "Frisco".

I haven't been to the West Coast in years - I didn't realize you guys
were calling New York City "Frisco".

Point taken. God forbid anyone should get offended.

An American public school? I bet they taught you to write Big Bang rather
than Big Bang Theory.

Well, it was one or two hundred miles west of Dover, PA. But a
rather different setting. I don't actually remember them teaching
us about the BIg Bang. It was more applied - in fourth or fifth grade,
IIRC, we learned about open-hearth and basic oxygen furnaces.
Later in shop class the teachers tried to keep us from actually
using the machines by spending the whole period showing
instructional movies about how steel is made. I am not making
this up, by the way.

However, one thing you get from an education in large public
schools is a fine nose for [censored], which is certainly helpful
in the present context. The old insider acronym for NASA
was Not A Science Agency. You do not know how happy
everyone is that Griffin is Director rather than O'Keeffe at
this particular moment.

Sweet. You can't make this [censored] up. In other news, Jeff Spicoli has
been
named as the new National Intelligence Director.

That's becuse they knew that everyone would just be making bongs anyway.

I don't think he'd pass the background check:
