There's an old joke based on the Jews being the chosen people and some thoroughly frustrated, miserable old guy turning his face toward heaven and yelling, "Next time, choose someobdy else."
Well, that's about how I feel about Pittsburgh being "chosen" for the G-20. Aaaaaargh!
This is not a political statement. It's pure aggravation at all the hassles we're being subjected to so they can have this bloody meeting. I'm told that the first six cities they asked said "no" (or "hell no") and it took seven tries to find someone dumb enough to say yes.
I just canceled a group trip to Scenic Express on Friday because all the routes to and through the City will be blocked. How's that for awful!
Funny story - there are lots of them. They just opened a brand new Children's Hospital here, and the old one is still standing and mostly fully equipped. They are billeting 500 state troopers there. I am picturing 500 water buffalo size troopers trying to sleep in pediatric beds. Snicker.
Oh, well - we'll survive. Having the Steelers lose last night is a much more serious problem.
