Burgatory-best burger...lol! The Clarks and Joe Grusheky as 1 and 2 Best Rock performance... what a joke. Who did you ask about these "Best of", your 55 year old yinzer uncle? Your Aunt Peg? On another note, Twelve Whiskey BBQ kicks the shit out of all the BBQ joints on their list.

His sexual orientation doesn't bug me (Rob Halford and Freddie Mercury are among my heroes), but it's ALL he's about. The man was for the bombing of Iraq simply because he thinks Arabs are all homophobes! He epitomizes "liberal" elitism (he censored a radical friend of mine in a Seattle newspaper he worked for called The Stranger, long story). I prefer radical populism. Put that in yer latte and sip on it. 2-They try WAY too hard to be hip and edgy. Maybe it's because hipsters annoy me since their whole existence is one long fashion statement and because you can never tell what their true interests or convictions are, not to mention that they're all spoiled, rich white kids. Please don't get me started on those people. Anyway, this magazine panders to them way too much. It's almost laughable, really. Irony is not the alpha and omega of life, ok? 3-They assume everyone reading has or is pursuing a Master's degree. 4-The back pages are pure SLEAZE! I always flip past those sex ads. Gimme a break! I don't want an escort or a massage! I couldn't care less about alternative lifestyles! On the other hand, what other Pittsburgh paper has articles about the POG/Thomas Merton Center schism, local mountaintop removal activists, Lawrenceville residents using alternative fuels that actually work, lesbian boxers, prisoners serving life terms, suburban sprawl, environmental racism in the Hill District, renewal efforts in neighborhoods like Hazelwood, and gentrification among many other issues? They don't urinate on or ignore comic books and heavy metal music either. It was through The City Paper that I discovered "Street Angel" from local comics creators Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca and Pittsburgh metal acts like Hero Destroyed, Storm King, Mantic Ritual, Lady Beast, and Magic Wolf. As someone with a minor interest in astrology (I'm an Aquarian if you didn't figure that out already), I think they have the best astrology column around. I often flip to that section first. Ok, I lied. What I actually do first is turn the paper over to the back cover to see if there's a hot chick in an American Apparel ad. Their food critic duo is pretty good as well. I especially applaud them for venturing beyond the East End. We do have good food in the South Hills. Don't be skeered to come aht 'ere. So they have a fine periodical. I'd just like to see a little bit more of a populist slant from them.

Ok, so this is the "liberal" paper of Pittsburgh, eh?…read more Well you do have Tony Norman, who's a progressive and a comics fan, which is pretty cool by me even though he's also a bit of an Obamabot. Vote 3rd party and get back to me, ok Tony? Then there's Rob Rogers, one of the most incisive political cartoonists on the scene. Maureen Dowd is a mildly liberal bore. Reg Henry is milquetoast. Ruth Ann Daily is the daughter of Phyllis Schafly, Ann Coulter-lite, or an aspiring Stepford Wife. I can't figure her out. George Will. Ugh. Scott Mervis doesn't get the metal, but at least he's not Ed Masley who should be strapped to a pentagram and set ablaze for his clueless (fear-ridden?) derision of the music. Allison Romero has written a few good metal articles though, so maybe someone read my emails. Oh, Mervis' top guitarists list? A joke. Rob Owen's TV column is pretty good even though I don't always share his tastes. He reminds me somewhat of Robert Bianco who has long since moved on to USA Today. I used to love when he'd skewer popular shows I despised. "Seen" makes me want to smash an ice sculpture up with a hammer and put it chunks of it through the windows of mansions. Do we need to have sheer privilege rubbed in our noses? Who really needs to know about what fun old moneybags are having when The Great Depression has never ended? The local news articles are pretty good though. Sadie Gurman busts her ass! I met her once at a picnic. I got her card. Nice girl. Never called her though. The Post-Gazette's a decent paper, but then again I'm a socialist, so I'm hard to please when it comes to the news media.

We have been a union-oriented economy for decades and although most of the heavy industry is no longer part of who we are, the mind set continues to think liberal and Democrat. It's a kind of "what was good enough for my father, is good enough for me." So sad that the Democrat party has abandoned the working man as it's logo, and has supported the agenda of bringing more undocumented people from foreign countries into this one. It appears that they quickly put them into entitlement programs and take credit for whatever the tax payers provide in the way of funding. Our elected representatives no longer do what we elected them to do, and instead pander various voting blocs in order to get re-elected. I am hopeful that the Greensheet will continue to opine in the direction it has thus far. It reaches out to far more people that one might imagine.

The Valley Journal was then sold to Milton Hammond and was once again renamed The Green Sheet and has been in the Hammond family since 1941. What seperated The Green Sheet from other competitors at the time was the that the paper was free to pick up at local stores, gas stations, banks, and other businesses, thus creating a high volume of loyal readers to this day. Our large circulation includes Allegheny county, Butler county, Armstong and Westmoreland County. The Green Sheet got its name from using its distinct green paper which stood out in stores all across the region. Over time, the paper has altered in appearance for a more modern look with color. To this day The Green Sheet prints and distributes 36,000 newspapers per week to over 800+ locations in Western Pennsylvania. The year is 2016, and The Green Sheet is sticking with t
