    Local Blogger Chris Bassett Quoted in Oregonian Baird Article

    Article by John on November 9th, 2009 at 5:04 pm

    Local blogger extraordinaire, Chris Bassett, was quoted in an Oregonian (Mapes on Politics) article about Clark County politics and the increasingly odd behavior of the 3rd District Representative Brian Baird.

    Former Democratic activist Chris Bassett, whose blog on Clark County politics I discovered today, points to county-by-county returns on the two big initiatives on last week’s ballot. Voters in each county of the district, outside [...]

    Rhetoric versus Reality, Actions Speak Louder than Words

    Article by John on June 4th, 2009 at 5:09 pm

    First we have this, President Obama speaking in Cairo:

    And then we have this reality from David Swanson:

    A New Beginning: If Only

    By David Swanson

    President Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo probably did a world of good. It was packed with truth telling and noble sentiments. But imagine how much more good would be done if all the best parts of it corresponded to [...]

    Will the Real President Obama Please Stand Up

    Article by John on May 6th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    Two Sides of Obama

    One of the things I have never understood about some people is their desire to idolize others.  I used to own a music store chain and one of the stores was a Ticketmaster outlet.  In the process of handling ticket sales, exposure to the idolatry of people became commonplace. One customer was so smitten with Michael Bolton that I ended [...]

    How to Get Yourself Water Boarded

    Article by John on December 14th, 2008 at 3:23 pm

    Wonder why this Iraqi newsman didn’t greet Bush as a liberator?  Can you imagine the price he probably will pay for throwing those two shoes?  Wonder why we haven’t seen any statues of Bush erected in Bagdad celebrating all he has done for the Iraqi people?  Our liberation is in 36 days and it cannot come soon enough.

    Soccer Ball Heaven

    Article by John on November 24th, 2008 at 5:23 am

    Click on picture to enlarge

    My son in the picture above, who is stationed in Iraq, asked us to send him 9 deflated soccer balls.  He sent this picture today with a note:

    It was funny because I told them the soccer balls were a gift from my mom.  I explained this to them because they wanted 30 soccer balls, so I told [...]

    my obama-topia

    Article by missy on November 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am

    I just heard on the radio that that DLC quisling Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s likely choice for Chief of Staff. Crap.

    While my opinion doesn’t mean squat, here’s my dream cabinet, which includes promoting FEMA back to cabinet level (and taking it out of Dept. of Homeland Security):

    Department of Agriculture: Senator Tom Harkin
    Department of Commerce: Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon
    Department of Defense: General Wesley Clark
    Department of [...]
