No date set for Penguins parade

Officials this morning were discussing plans for a parade honoring the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins, a spokeswoman for Mayor Luke Ravenstal said.

The spokeswoman, Joanna Doven, said an announcement will be made as soon as plans are confirmed.

The Pens last night defeated the Detroit Red Wings 2-to-1 in Detroit, a seventh-game victory that triggered spontaneous street celebrations in the South Side, Oakland and other parts of the Pittsburgh region. It was the Penguins first Stanley Cup win in 17 years.

Among the injured women is the driver of the bike.

Police have reportedly started an investigation into the cause of the accident.

Beer bikes can be rented from several companies. They can transport up to seventeen people, bar keeper and driver included, and are powered by ten sets of bike pedals.

Lineup for Statue Cruises' Statue of Liberty crown tickets: Visitors not allowed since 9/11

In another smoke and mirrors effort to divert our attention from important issues, our government, through Statue Cruises, is again allowing "we the people" into the crown of the Statue of Liberty. We own the Statue of Liberty, and it is supposed to represent our liberty . Yet, a bunch of white guys in Washington (some are women or people of color just acting like all the white guys who have gone before them) have restricted us from touring the crown.

Now, people are lining up to purchase coveted tickets to the top of Miss Liberty. I wonder what kind of search they will have to pass through to actually get in? Perhaps this picture is not far from the next government restrictions reality.

In order to get the most publicity from this new government stunt and help us to forget we are a warmongering country waging two wars abroad and not able to feed, house, educate or provide health care for our own people, the Statue of Liberty's crown opens to the public on July 4. So, step right up and get in line to worship at the head of the hottest babe in New York harbor.

May we all experience true liberty and freedom, free from government restrictions, and may that genuine liberty pervade our entire Spaceship Earth soon.
