Slog - Comments on Conservative Trash Talk http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/01/conservative_tr From those intellectual titans at The National Review: GO STEELERS! [Michael Novak] So it's steeltown America on the rise, the rough and the ready, not a rich team but always fighting and always playing smash-mouth, and running hard, and slashing... and I love it that their opponents this year will be wearing the colors of --hard to comprehend this -- Hamas! Couldn't be a better opponent, who will probably be favored. .... Pittsburgh is the city of the Deerslayer, and the American flag, and always the highest casualty rates in American wars ... This is the city where they make...

It's a patronizing caricature of a stubborn old Pittsburgh and not the new Pittsburgh that has adapted to changing times.

By the way, I should add that this conservative publication is describing a very blue city in a blue state.

The Seahawks don't wear green, they wear blue.

And this is perhaps the best example of conservative prole posing I've seen this week: it's a little bizarre that conservatives who cheered the deindustrialization of the Midwest and the loss of all those Steelworker jobs suddenly get misty about the (long-gone) blue collar steel industry.

I don't know anything about football, but even I know that the Steelers, not the Seahawks, are favored to win. What a boob.

I was tired of the blue-collar, iron city-beer-drinkin', tough as nails, steel workin' men vs. the wet, latte-drinkin', lefty, computer nerd angle the day after the conference championships.



"Deer Hunter or Sleepless in Seattle, Terry?"



"Well, Jim you know I like a good cry, but DIDI MAU--go Steelers!!!"



"Hazelnut double latte or good ol' frosty iron city beer?" "Is that even a question?"



"And hey--it rains there a lot."



So, Boeing machinists, dock workers, fisherman, loggers, what have you--welcome to your frou frou white collar home. You didn't even have to move.

And you're whimpy.

Boo hoo. I guess we better toss aside those books and start drinkin' more beer.

Isn't this as good a description of the Palestinians (Hamas) as it is of those "hard luck" Pittsburghastinians?

Go Hamas! Push 'em back, push 'em back!
