Rahvenstahl Addresses U.N.


NEW YORK -- Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl delivered his annual address to an almost-empty chamber of the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. He spoke out in detail against the repressive regime in Cleveland, prompting Cleveland's -- and Cuba's -- foreign ministers to walk out in protest.

Ravenstahl declared that "Pittsburghers are outraged by the situation in Cleveland," and accused the city's dictatorship of a "multi-year reign of loserdom." The mayor read a litany of human rights abuses including, "The Browns, Dennis Kucinich, the Indians, the Browns, the Browns, the Browns, the Cavaliers and Dennis Kucinich."

Outside, about a dozen Cleveland sympathizers were arrested for burning the Terrible Towel.
