Pittsburgh Bridge Gets a ‘Yarn Bomb’ Makeover | TIME.com

Pittsburgh Bridge Gets a ‘Yarn Bomb’ Makeover | TIME.com
The Andy Warhol Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh will be decorated with knitted, crocheted and woven blankets through September 6, as part of a public art project called Knit the Bridge.
A bridge needs a blanket like a fox needs a jacket. But adorning one of Pittsburgh’s best-known bridges with 580 knitted and crocheted blankets wasn’t about keeping the 1061-ft. long Andy Warhol Bridge warm. “It is about connecting and bridging communities,” says Amanda Gross, a local fiber artist who headed up the record-breaking public art installation on the 87-year-old, steel suspension bridge spanning the Allegheny River.

Detroit firefighters, cops ineligible for Social Security | The Detroit News

Detroit firefighters, cops ineligible for Social Security | The Detroit News

"If their pensions are cut, thousands of city of Detroit retirees won’t have anything to fall back on other than their own savings, the support of their families or charity. That’s because the city’s firefighters and police aren’t eligible to receive Social Security benefits.
When Social Security was first instituted, the plan didn’t cover any worker with a public pension. States can opt in, and Michigan has, but each city, county, township, school board or other local government entity also has to join. Existing public pension funds can continue to operate out from under Social Security, and with generous government pensions, many workers felt they were getting a better deal from their own pension fund than they’d ever get from Uncle Sam. Instead, the contributions the employer and worker would have made to Social Security benefits went to their pension funds." Read More Here

HINCKLEY AND BUSH FAMILIES WERE CLOSE FRIENDS

HINCKLEY AND BUSH FAMILIES WERE CLOSE FRIENDS

"An almost bewildered John Chancellor on NBC Nightly News reported "the bizarre coincidence" that Vice President Bush's son, Neil, and Scott Hinckley had dinner plans for March 31, 1981 -- now cancelled, of course.  [But even Chancellor failed to mention the close friendship between the the assassin's father and Vice  President Bush--let alone the rest of the corporate media.]

Reports indicate that the Bush family strove mightily to keep this information from the American people.  And some reports list this incredible "coincidence" -- directly linked to the assassination attempt of President Reagan -- as one of the most spiked stories of the last century.

In other words, the brother of the shooter and the son of the vice-president (and their wives) had a dinner date for the day after the shooting. But it really wasn’t such "a bizarre coincidence." Those two families were very close; but the press never focused on that critical fact as it should have. If Reagan had died, the oilmen’s interests would have been served."
