Yeah, we did just title a post after the 1986 Genesis hit from Invisible Touch. Which, regardless of what you think, is freaking awesome. Don’t you remember the video? Watch that shit now! But really, Pennsylvania is a strange and wonderful and terrible and confused place:
>>>Remember when Congressman John Murtha impugned western Pennsylvania as racist? Nothing like giving good quote to a New York Times reporter to restore your region’s reputation. From Aliquippa‘s Nick Piroli:

I’m no racist, but I’m not crazy about him either,” said Mr. Piroli, 77. “I don’t know, maybe ’cause he’s black.”

[NYTimes]
>>>But wait! A new Franklin and Marshall poll says that, despite the concerns of your friends, families and co-workers like Mr. Piroli, Obama doubled his lead among registered voters, and his lead among likely voters stands at 53-40. GObama! (And seriously, PLEASE go vote next week, to keep our fellow citizens in this next item from fucking everything up for us.) [PennLive/Harrisburg Patriot-News]
>>>And wait again! The Daily News today devoted quite a lot of space to “A new way of hate.” Apparently those Keystone State Skinhead boys are very polite, even though they think that “the dust clouds of history…will settle in our valley and wreak havoc.” The dust clouds, by the way, are made up of immigrants, African Americans, and Jews. And probably socialists and Catholics. Which means, probably, you’re in there somehow. Also, confidential to Minister King Samir Shabazz – this quote totally does not help your cause: “I’m about the total destruction of white people.” [Daily News]

Remember, people: Peace begins at home. GObama!
