Build Their Monorail

Ok first off I know 80% of the people that read this are from Pennsylvania but I'm sure there are a few people on the west coast that occasionally end up here so listen up. My cousin Christian (http://obviousdiversion.com/) has been leading an effort to build a monorail in Seattle for at least a year now and with elections once again upon us there's a big push to make the public aware of the issue. They even made the paper last week, in an article called The Last Idealists Dreading a Future without Mass Transit, Young Activists Stage Long-Shot Battle to Save The Monorail check it out at http://www.thestranger.com/ I'm not even going to try explain the issue to you because 1) I haven't read enough to understand it completely, 2) I'm lazy and he's already done all the work on the website for 2045 Seattle, http://2045seattle.org/

So if your in the Seattle area take some advice temporarily misplaced Pittsburgher, this is the kind of cause you need to get behind and if enough of you get behind it you'll see results. Unfortunately Pittsburgh will not be getting a viable mass transit system anytime soon, we were guaranteed that nearly ten years ago when Maglev moved in and said they intended to connect the Airport, Downtown, Monroeville, and Greensburg. You know it only took eight years to build the Transcontinential Railroad, it's been a decade since Maglev set up shop and the only floating train I've seen was on Back to the Future III.

A little treat for all the Pennsylvanians out there that plan on voting.
CLICK HERE for a list of all those sneaky State Reps that voted themselves a pay raise in that midnight session. Remember just cause the gave it back when we caught them doesn't mean they're sorry.

One more thing, my Nittany Lions are playing Wisconsin this weekend in a game that will decide the Big Ten Championship ( our first since 1994). The game will be on ABC or ESPN at 3:30 on Saturday. If you get a chance check it out, it should be a pretty good game. Plus we're doing another White Out so Beaver Stadium and the Best Student Section In The Country will be going Nuts.

peace out yo
