I grew up in Warren, Pennsylvania, a small town in the northwest corner of the state, just shy of the New York border. News of its going ons rarely reach me, but today was quite the exception. Eric B, a fellow child of Warren, stumbled upon this article while scrolling the top page of Digg. Apparently, someone placed an ad in the local newspaper, The Warren Times Observer, expressing a desire to see President Barack Obama assassinated. It reads,"May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy!"

Now, the staff may have been too apathetic to decipher the "cryptic" message (I mean, Garfield barely had enough time as president to even get shot) and whomever placed the ad is a wretched mess, but I was appalled to find such gross generalizations made of both Warren, and Pennsylvania as a whole. I could go on about what I love in Warren, and trust me there is a lot that I don't, but really it's a small town like any other. I voted for Obama, and so did Pennsylvania. Hail To The Chief!

Lighten up, and watch our man bust a move on Ellen!
