Senator Reid tonight:
Today we vote whether to even discuss one of the greatest issues of our generation - indeed, one of the greatest issues this body has ever face: whether this nation will finally guarantee its people the right to live free from the fear of illness and [...]
Well the Ducks may get their chance at the Rose Bowl (or at least at Oregon State) after beating Arizona tonight in double overtime.
It looks like we also won our little challenge with the Arizona Desert Lamp, meaning they have to purchase 3 copies [...]
Strangely, this story doesn't seem to be getting much play in the American media, but U.K. media manages to report it. MoTown once was famous for music and muscle cars, but now represents something entirely different.
The abandoned corpses, in white body bags with number tags tied to each toe,' [...]
The High Priest hath annointed his Disciple, yea and verily, and hath found him wanting not. AlGore has endorsed Billy Bradbury for the Oregon governorship. Having built so much, and having worked so hard to stoke hysteria among governments and inDUHviduals alike, the annointment by the High Priest [...]
The average Joe seems to know what completely escapes BO: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 62% believe tax cuts are a better way to create jobs and fight unemployment. BO, on the other hand, continues to mull the idea of yet another Porkulus plan.
And while [...]
Some years ago, Newsweek held an aura of respectability. As local blogger Rob Kremer recently pointed out: Newsweek used to be a very good rag. Decent columnists, good business coverage, intelligent writing. Now it is just another failing liberal media outlet.
The only problem with Kremer's observation is that he [...]
So far we have finals in eight games and there are no upsets. Of course there are two BIG games this afternoon and evening:
#11 Oregon plays at Arizona and is a six-point favorite and
#19 Oregon State plays at Washington State and is a 31 point favorite. If both [...]
Iraq according to a redneck? From an email to K-Lo at The Corner:I predict that Palin will come to Arizona next summer to campaign for McCain, will make an impassioned case for him, and will help him win. She will thereby repay McCain for his confidence in picking her last year, help keep McCain [...]
The student-produced “I Smell Roses” video has been getting a lot of publicity recently. Its nationwide attention has garnered positive reviews, however Disney and the UO Athletic Department are not happy.
The Athletic Department has asked the University of Oregon rap group “Supwitchugirl” to take down the video from Youtube. [...]
There’s fear mongering over (gasp) global warming, but this reaches new heights of absurdity! ‘Climate change pushes poor women to prostitution, dangerous work’
First, it uses the active verb “pushes” as if it is happening now. The article then uses “could” as in ““Climate change could reduce income from farming [...]
In rebuttal to yesterday’s trash-talkin’ courtesy of Evan from the Desert Lamp, Drew’s post has been put up on the Desert Lamp site.
Obviously Drew has won the fight. Now let’s watch the Ducks win the battle on Saturday.
[...]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' [...]
Sadly, late Wednesday the founder of my favorite restaurant in Eugene, Papa’s Soul Food Kitchen, died of a heart attack.
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 [...]

[...]We need to have cfc bulbs to "Save The Planet". The EU is already into a mandatory switch, so the USA won't be far behind - incandescent bulbs will soon be a thing of the past. We'll all save energy with our (mercury laden) compact fluorescent replacements. Incandescent bulbs lose [...]

At its November 12 meeting, Metro’s Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) adopted “performance targets” calling for a tripling of walking, biking, and transit use by 2035. This came despite the release of the Annual Portland Resident Survey conducted by the City Auditor, showing that levels of solo driving [...]

Is the S&P about to fall out of bed or is it headed higher?
In Adam Hewison’s latest video about the S&P 500, he hopes to answer those questions and show you what he thinks could happen to this market in the near-term.
There is a fascinating cycle at work that [...]
It may surprise you as to which indices have had the most comeback from the lows seen in March. In today’s video we take a close look at both the Dow and NASDAQ indices.
In this short video about the Dow and NASDAQ, we look at the retracement levels and [...]
The gold market continues to steam roll ahead as it gets closer to our $1,300 target zone.
As we have stated before, gold is in a fully fledged bull market and sharp pullbacks are to be expected. This is not to say the bull market is over; it is more to [...]
In general, Americans tend to receive more new treatments and pay more for them — a fact that is usually regarded as a fault of the American system. That interpretation, if not entirely wrong, is at [...]
By setting a zero percent benchmark at its Wednesday night meeting, the ASUO Senate sent a message, loud and clear: “Go Ducks, but LTD can lick my sweaty, shaven nutsack.”
Or something like that. Probably not that exactly, considering that slightly more than half the Senate lacks nutsacks, sweaty and shaven [...]
AlGore's in town to stump for his acolyte, Billy Bradbury (and of course, to push his latest vision of the impending Apocalypse). In the other corner, Greenies have apparently vandalized the venue (Keller Auditorium); spray-painting slogans all around. This being Portland, you have to wonder where the Greenies got [...]
The ole’ polects over at the Arizona Desert Lamp have offered up a friendly wager on the upcoming Oregon vs. Arizona football game. If the Ducks win they will buy three of our book, By the Barrel: 25 Years of the Oregon Commentator at full price, with a memo [...]

Recently, referring to my post From October - 3rd coolest Ever!, 2009/11/18 at 11:09 AM, Mark commented, “You’re kidding right?” Well Mark here’s another post to ponder: in Little Ice Age II, The Sequel, Al Simmons and Doug L. Hoffman at The Resilieant Earth have a very interesting [...]
Heard more from the alphabetized KINK library this morning as I’m sitting up at NW Skyline and Germantown Road: Toni Childs singing “Stop Your Fussin Boy”. Giosh where has she been? She hasn’t released a CD since 2000. I have every one of her albums and [...]
