I really and truly wish I could take credit for the following line, but I can't...
It's spelled "Steelerstahl" but it's pronounced "doosh-bag."
Ok, joke's over -- can we please have an adult mayor now?
UPDATE:
Tunesmith and Anthony have the definitive word on this topic.
I thought there was nothing that could make me ashamed of being from Pittsburgh. Little Lukey, Boy Mayor, seems to have proved me wrong. ::sigh:: At least I didn't vote for him! (or against him, but that's beside the point ...)

I was hoping that this would only be covered by the local media, but there's a link to it on CNN.com this morning. Ugh.

Wow... I'm surprised the Pgh mayor is so young. He reminds me of the newly elected Congressman from Utah. If you've seen the Colbert Report this week, Stephen Colbert really made good fun of his youth.

Pittsburgh doesn't have a mayor. It has a fraternity president.
He should have changed his name to Doug Niedermeyer.

How come my whole name didn't show up? It must be those Omegas!

Either the Omegas, or maybe the devil over your shoulder stole it, Pinto.
By the way, why "Pinto"?

Why not?

At least this really is a stupid, futile gesture on Luke's part.

And he's just the guy to do it.

Hey! It's just like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!

Bob, this should make you feel better:
New Puhlahmahlu.
Or not, it's all good.
