    i guess i should stop complaining about my pay cut now

    At least I’m lucky enough to still have my Oregon job:

    Oregon’s jobless rate has taken a dramatic jump, to 12.1 percent in March — a rate seen only once before since the years after World War II.

    The increase could put Oregon on a pace to have the highest unemployment rate in the nation when those figures are released on Friday, state [...]



    A New Way Forward Protest – Portland

    Portland OR – April 11, 2009 – Click for more info

    NATIONALIZE: Experts agree on the means — Insolvent banks that are too big to fail must incur a temporary FDIC intervention – no more blank check taxpayer handouts. (see Krugman on nationalization)

    REORGANIZE: Current CEOs and board members must be removed and bonuses wiped out. The financial elite must share in [...]



    time to name names and put the blame where it belongs

    On Hank Paulson’s bald head.

    When AIG started to become unwound last fall, who better to know just how much Goldman Sach’s own rape & pillage squad was going to depend on its AIG bad bet insurance than the former CEO, Paulson himself – and who else but the Treasury Secretary would be better positioned to make sure that at least his alma mater [...]



    art alexakis saved my life

(Missing last year’s X concert on March 28th as we flew to FL for L’s spring break [...]



    a pie in the face is the very least i’d like to give john mccain

    I’d very much like to give him a piece of my mind.

    I was born on Long Island, just a few train stops from Hofstra University. If all you know of Long Island comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald (or Paris Hilton), that strip of expensive real estate may seem like a giant McMansion tract. But when I was born in Garden City in [...]



    Clark County activist Michele Cotner dies

    With great sadness I have learned that Michele Cotner died yesterday after a brief hospitalization with a heart related illness.

    I met Michele back in 2003 shortly after moving to this area at a Howard Dean Meetup at the Salmon Creek Brewpub. We both were very disturbed with the direction of our country and the Iraq war.

    Michele was the one that took [...]



    Barack Obama in Portland

    75,000 people! And to think I drove through Portland via I-5 North just 20 minutes or so before it was over clueless of my good timing. This puts us former Deaniacs to shame. Can you imagine the gridlock afterwards?
