Well, I was there. I thought it was a little gay the first time, but now I’ve embraced it. It’s definitely campy, but you throw in some loud “Let’s Go Pitt!”s and there’s something to it.

Vanderbilt won big tonight too and, best of all, we get free tacos since they scored more than 24 points! We brought kiddos with us who had never been to one of their games so they had great fun. We did all versions of the wave there at the end.

We sing that at hockey games too. Without the Pitt part, of course.

I just got back from mass, walked into the kitchen and turned on Fox News-and was greeted by the happy news that Van Jones has indeed been thrown under the bus-and what an incredibly delusional and nasty resignation speech he gave, too. Now Fox/Glenn Beck needs to go after the other Marxist czars one by one, so they can follow Jones...

Glenn Beck may get under their skin but I don’t care as long as he is effective.

He was certainly effective-I hope he keeps it up. Howard “the scream” Dean was on the Matthews show on Fox trying to cover for Jones, and saying it is right for him to play the blame game-pretty hard to do when all the crazy, racist s*** he spewed is on video. And I can’t imagine any lawyer signing a petition they didn’t read, especially something to do with a wacko conspiracy theory-stuff like that tends to come back to bite you in the ass when you least expect it.

Hooray for Jimbo!

Don’t you like my snapshots? I thought the cityscape one was pretty awesome. I also snapped the Incline.
