He's not even in the guy's weight class

I don't blame Dan Onorato for not wanting to fight Jim Mitchell -- the man looks huge. (I mean that as a compliment, Mr. Mitchell, sir.) But give Onorato credit for some PR savvy by jumping on this story and turning it to his advantage. Still, I think Onorato will continue to be persona non grata in a lot of Allegheny County restaurants.

Which raises the question -- Where does the county executive eat these days? I'm guessing he's been ordering a lot of take-out.

In other news, I'm not a hockey lover, but I do love jumping on bandwagons, so I've been following the Penguins more closely than usual lately. Which is why I was alarmed to read this.

Vote for Rick, part two

Ignore this, and vote for Rick.

Vote for Rick

I didn't even know Dan Onorato had opposition in the spring primary until he decided to--unsuccessfully--challenge his opponent's nominating papers. But now that I know Rick Swartz is running, I have a reason to drag myself to the polls come Election Day.
