A more fitting name for the times would be the Pittsburgh Bankers.

But there is a lesson to be learned here:

In Pittsburgh the last steel mill closed its doors more than a decade ago. The industry the football team is named for, no longer exists in any form at all in Pittsburgh.

But Pittsburgh, though it went through some hard times, didn’t die. It had diversified its economy, and the Pennsylvania legislature had invested heavily in education in that state including at the University of Pittsburgh (although private Carnegie-Mellon University also is a magnet for the region.)

There is a lesson to be learned there, somewhere. Maybe our legislature should visit Pittsburgh before we put all our eggs into the cut-education-and-taxes basket.

Well, here it is in the second half. Anybody have a proposal to quickly pass a stimulus for the Cardinals?

Hey, let’s be honest. This is the Super Bowl. Think Super Bowl, and you probably visualize the Pittsburgh Steelers. Definitely not the Cardinals.

About a week ago we were under by three. And the source was that someone told me that in a bar. It sounds about right though.
