- September 24: Morbid ghoul, and NYC mayor, Michael Bloomberg, slithered into the ‘Burgh with a piece of the World Trade Center. Like a medieval monk who claims to have a piece of the “true cross” he was using it as a prop to beg for money. Classy guy. Onorato and Ravenstahl smell free food and photo ops.
- September 25: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who says a lot of crazy shit, gave a speech at the UN. Right-wingnuts and politicians pretend that they don’t share the same values as the Iranian president and the Bush haters pretend that he’s not so bad. Other than looking extra sharp in a blazer, he’s just another unremarkable tyrant. We already have enough of those here.
- September 26: Wal-mart finally gives up on it plan to build a store in Killbuck, a year after construction attempts caused a landslide.
- September 27: “Green Scare” defendant, Eric McDavid, is convicted of conspiracy in federal court. McDavid was entrapped by “Anna“, an FBI informant who pretended to be his lover, and the testimony of snitches Lauren Weiner and Zachary Jensen.
- September 28: PA State trooper, Kevin Foley, (homicide investigator!) is arrested in the stabbing death of Blairsville dentist John Yelenic, whose estranged wife had the bad taste and judgment to be involved with Foley. He is actually suspended without pay, something that seldom happens to cops. If I were his defense attorney, I’d move for a change of venue to Allegheny County, where rest assured, DA Stevie “Badge Bunny” Zappala Jr., would see to it that he walks.
- September 29: The war of words (and the proxy war) continued Saturday, when Iran declared the CIA and US Army to be terrorist organizations. This was likely a response to the US declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to be a terrorist organization. Well, you’re both right.
- September 30: The Steelers lost…but my fantasy football team wins, to go 3-1.
