  • The Final Hours

    Pacific Views

    Today is the day that many of us have hoped for and many others have dreaded. As you can tell, I think this bill has to pass even though it is not as good as we would have wanted. But I also think it is not as bad as some [...]

  • Crazy Sweet 16

    Jack Bog's Blog

    Leaders there want to spend $120 million on an Urban Renewal proposal that would pay for roads, parking garages, and "riverside amenities" in an effort to attract developers who may remodel strip clubs, strip malls, and other blight in the targeted area.   They're kind of stymied in their desire' [...]

    The Great Orator turned in a really dismal performance this past week, as BO set up an interview with Bret Baier on FOX News.  Things are really going south when BO chooses to appear on FOX, because as he's made abundantly clear, he doesn't like them.  And while Baier didn't [...]

  • Closing an escape hatch

    Jack Bog's Blog

    The O declares today that the Portland school board's tightening of its once-liberal transfer policy is "[l]ost in the drama of sign-carrying parents protesting potential school closings." Really? I don't know whom they've been talking to, but everyone I've heard from about the schools lately has mentioned it prominently,' [...]

  • Straight outta Bluehour

    Hold on to what's left of your wallets, Portland taxpayers. The real estate venture known as Portland State University is talking big -- lots of new apartment towers for a projected sudden wave of new students. They'll knock down their parking garages, because all of the students will soon' [...]

    Jack Bog's Blog

    Good news for soccer fans -- the American "major" soccer league and its players have reached an agreement and called off a strike that was set to take effect on Thursday, the league's opening day. Not-so-good news for Portland taxpayers, who are ripping up PGE Park for soccer, is the' [...]

    Pacific Views

    Today, there is a lot of anger, fear and confusion in the air around the reform bill in Congress. The Republican Party and the right are fighting this bill with everything they have. And they threaten to run on repealing it in November. Some of the more crazy are declaring [...]

    OregonGuy

    What is your take-away from the first year of Hope and Change?

    Sure, there's the Nobel Peace Prize awarded for cool awesomeness. And those other things that have been accomplished. (Feel free to recount the other accomplishments of the Hope and Change adminstration in the comments section.)

    So [...]

    Eugene Rant

    As many of you are aware, Haloscan is no more. It has been replaced by some dreadful thing called Echo. The free trial period is about to expire, and since I've never spent a penny on this blog, I'm certainly not going to start now. All those lovely comments you've' [...]

    By Dave Anderson:

    We are an oil society.  Economic growth is correlated with oil consumption growth.  The more oil that is burned in a day, the more economic value is added.  We see this in booms and busts as global and American oil demand cratered during the start of the current [...]
