Why is our sky-line being constantly marred by corporations?  I mean Mellon was bad enough, but it’s been there as long as I can remember.  Then there was the disturbance in the internet known as FreeMarkets… Now we get a law firm?

Reed Smith will add its name to the city skyline when it moves into the new PNC skyscraper in 2009.

The city Planning Commission today gave approval for the law firm to put its name at the top of the 23-story Three PNC Plaza building under construction on Fifth Avenue, Downtown.

At least it’s not Edgar Snyder.  Our source inside informed Us that Edgar Snyder lobbied for one, but they wouldn’t approve a sign that was the image of an ambulance being chased by lawyers (see right).  We were also informed that Mayor Luke Ravenstahl was also denied a marble statue of himself on Grant Street, but that was requested by him when he was president of the City Council.

Call Us jaded since, in 1999, We were denied the opportunity to have Our own downtown marquee on one of the high-rises; it would have been haunting, but tasteful.  A beret and aviators, what would be better?  Comments from those who denied Us said it was too big brother-ish for a private organization.  I recently asked about the rumors to install a huge camera and spotlight from the new UPMC sign on the USX Tower and was then promptly removed from the room.


Even though it makes it easier to transport children, even illegally across international lines, I encourage Everyone not to put your ten year old into a dog crate.

A Washington County woman is accused of locking her 10-year-old grandson in a feces-filled dog crate for about 90 minutes.

Police say 51-year-old Rhonda Lehman of Washington put the boy in the crate Saturday because the boy laced the family’s drinks with lamp oil and household cleaner. The boy says he was angry at his family.

While children should be neither see nor heard, putting them into a dog crate isn’t necessarily the answer.  Also, just what are you doing to them that would make them want to poison you?


Also, a general reminder to show some common sense when carrying out Our objectives.  Please do not hire third-parties (or advertise for them) on public sites such as Craig’s List.   We have Our own network and Cleaner that We may use for that.

Ann Marie Linscott, 49, offered $5,000 for the hit, had the name and work address of the woman she wanted dead and in e-mails with stunned job seekers described successful candidates as “silent assassins,” according to agents and court documents.

It just shows that human stupidity knows no bounds in this world. I believe Everyone would agree with Me that subculture of stupid humans should be henceforth eradicated from society.  Not culled from existence as that would attract too much attention.  But perhaps an island somewhere.
