WTH is happening in Pittsburgh?

MOST of his own family denounced it. I took note of the absence of twin brother Allan’s signature on the family letter.

 

Allan Block in 1999:

I would say I wish I had been married before now,” said Mr. Block, driving down Route 27 in a rented Ford Taurus on his way to Southampton one recent Saturday. “I never thought I’d be this age and never been married. It was never my plan, you know. I think the conditions, the way it is today, is the reason. I think there’s a war between the sexes going on. I think the female part of the population has been waging a war against the male part. Male and female have always been equal, you cannot compare gender to race, that was never a valid analogy or comparison. There was never a deliberate effort to hold women down. Feminism is basically wrong.”

“I would have rather been single in 1950, 1955,” said Mr. Block. “I would rather have been dealing with the woman who wanted to get married or had to get married. I think it would have been a lot easier. I can’t run a house, I can’t even have a nice apartment. I can sign the check. “

There's something about Pittsburgh and archconservative newspaper owners/publishers. Here's the obit on the guy who owned the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, which now is all-digital. I think he also provided seed money for NewsMax, the conservative website.

Richard Mellon Scaife, billionaire who funded anti-liberal causes, dies at 82

 

Took him another 12 years:

On the Town: Friends, family toast nuptials of Allan Block and Susan Pond

 

You think this is bad, wait until you get a load of what's allegedly about to break with sports journalism in that town.

 

Has to be something with that scumbag Dejan Kovacevic.

 

If you search Pittsburgh newspaper message boards there's more info.

 

I didn’t know Winona State was in Pennsylvania.

 

Kovacevic stepped down as editor-in-chief today. Reads like a pre-emptive move to save his site.
Dejan Kovacevic shifts to just writing columns for DK Pittsburgh Sports

 

Lucky guess.

 

Didn't realize there was something even nerdier than SJ.com...
