PITTSBURGH, PA — No matter what your politics, it's usually nice to see someone local in the national spotlight. That happened Tuesday during President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, when he touted Pittsburgh-area steelworker Joseph "JoJo" Burgess. Even better: Burgess was there in person to see it. He sat in first lady Jill Biden's viewing box, along with luminaries such the second gentleman and the the Ukranian ambassador. Sure beats lying on a couch watching "This is Us" on a Tuesday night, no?
