Mayor Slayer

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will (according to news accounts) legally change his name this week to “Luke Steelersstahl” — a gesture of support for the Pittsburgh Steelers who will play the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC Championship. I admire his team loyalty, but I am also glad that the only athletic competitor with whom I share a name is a sharp-elbowed skater for the Arch Rival Roller Girls.
