I have two sisters that also don't have the knack for whipping up a gourmet meal or baking a mouth-watering dessert. My grandmother on my dad's side…[...]

Nov 10, 2014
After weeks of close contests and national debate, the fraught competition to decide America's ugliest accent has finally come to a dramatic close. And the winner is that moonlit, magical city-the Paris of Allegheny County, the Venice of the Ohio Valley-Pittsburgh, City of Jagoffs.

Oct 31, 2014
Yesterday, as I was driving home from work, the radio was bombarded with advertising about where to get Halloween costumes, where the best Halloween parties would be and all of the activities associated with the holiday.
