  • Turkey Trivia

    Newshoggers.com

    By John Ballard

    Let us turn our attention away from the turkeys in Washington to those in the grocery stores.
    Thanksgiving Day is nigh.
    Purists may want to consider a real turkey this year instead of what we have been taught to eat in recent years.
    I've not had one, incidentally. They're [...]

    Commentary By Ron Beasley

    Idaho Statehouse reconstruction/YouTube There was some concern, expressed publicly during the last legislative session, that the reconstruction work at the Idaho Statehouse might not be done in time for the next session.

  • The CRU Hack

    Quark Soup

    I've been busy and have only been able to spend about 2 hours reading about the CRU hack, and some of the documents themselves.

    Ridenbaugh Press

    Number of comments: 1
    It’s being billed as a three-senator deal – Senators Max Baucus, Harry Reid and Oregon’s Ron Wyden – but the history demonstrates that this is Wyden’s baby: A change in the Senate version of the health care bill that would dramatically change the health insurance picture for not just a [...]

    How desperate is the Religion becoming?  When they resort to stuff like this, it's obvious that they're desperate indeed:

     

    The high-pitched whine of a low-flying jet engine fills the air as the camera tracks across images of shimmering glass buildings, the Towers of Mammon in an unidentified urban' [...]

  • Quote of the Week

    BlueOregon

    I don't know how I missed this earlier, but Congressman Kurt Schrader had an insightful (and funny) comment at the Oregonian editorial board - as reported by the O's Jeff Mapes:

    "I think Republicans offered up 100-some odd amendments and 25 of them made it into the health care bill...'" [...]

    Sinister

    I committed the cardinal NANO sin of revising last night, because I realized that my timeline made no sense. And since the second part of my book is a retelling of the first part, from a different perspective, it's sort of important that I get the timeline hammered down. This [...]

  • Can Nuclear Terrorists Be Deterred?

    By Russ Wellen

Constrained by the eye-for-an-eye principle, but to the umpteenth power, states armed with nuclear weapons, such as the United States and [...]

    According to the Register-Guard Ted “Papa” Lee was a well-known musician who helped many local musicians get started here in Eugene. His band 100% Delta Blues Stomp was planning on a [...]
