In developments that rocked the tri-state area, the Post-Gazette today endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president, while the Tribune-Review endorsed Republican John McCain.
In other news, someone preached to a choir, the sun rose in the east, and a dog bit a man.
Meanwhile, P-G columnist Jack "Let God Sort 'Em Out" Kelly noted that "less is known about Barack Obama than about any major party candidate for president in modern history," proving that TV waves and wi-fi signals still aren't penetrating the rock under which he lives.
In business news, the 800 millionth badly edited YouTube video promoting one candidate or the other was uploaded, prompting Al Gore to apologize for inventing the Internet.
Finally, the waaaaaa-mbulance has been dispatched to Upper St. Clair, where the coach of the football team is still complaining about the McKeesport Tigers' thrilling come-from-behind victory in the first round of the WPIAL AAAA playoffs on Friday night.
Reports that Upper St. Clair likes imported brie with its whine could not be confirmed, because we were too busy laughing until the tears ran down our legs. The coach is blaming the officials, when everyone knows you're supposed to blame the liberal media.
And yeah, Serra lost. Hey, give 'em a break. They won six games this season. That's more than they won during my entire four years in high school.
Was it the liberal media? I thought I saw Sean Hannity in the end zone mugging the USC receiver?!
