Organic Food No Better Than Conventional

You can pay more for organic food, if it makes you feel better.  But from a nutritional standpoint, it's no better.

Heh! Racist Perfesser And Arresting Cop Are Related

Unreal!  The racist perfesser Gates who was screaming at the cop who responded to a reported break-in turns out to be related to the cop.  How awkward.

There's An App For That

A new iPod touch/iPhone application alerts owners in the USA to nearby sex offenders.

Pervy mayors with a taste for youngsters aren't presently in the database, but we can hope that the oversight will be swiftly corrected by the software developers.

It surely wouldn't hurt.

Oregon Pols Create 3,236 New Jobs With "Stimulus" Cash

What a success story!

Um...now for the fine print: those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours.

Yee-ha and Whoopie!  And these are the folks who think they should "manage" your health care.

"Sometimes some work for an individual is better than no work," said Oregon's Senate president, Peter Courtney.

Oregon: Things look different here.

You might be tempted to call Peter an idiot.  But that would be redundant.  He's a Democrat.

Uh-Oh! We Really NEED An Icon!

Seattle's light-rail bridge just won a design award!

Designed by International Bridge Technologies Inc., of San Diego, the 4.7-mile bridge is the co-winner of Best Non-Highway/Pedestrian Bridge.

We simply can't have that.  Go get 'em, Sam-Rand!

Good Cops. Bad Cops.

What with all the hubub over Obama's racist buddy, "Skippy" Gates, it was interesting to find an article that demonstrated some striking similarities between "Skippy's" case and another.

Like the Gates incident, police were called to the scene due to nearby witnesses noticing behavior they deemed suspicious.  In this case, a young man was walking naked, dazed and bleeding in front of a house.  Upon arriving at the scene, the police tried to talk to the young man, but discovered that he could not speak English.  So they inquired at the house.  The resident of the house explained that the young man was his homosexual lover and all was well.

 

The man who spoke English was indeed the resident of the house.  He said everything was all right.  A good police officer understands that lovers can spat and things can happen in non-traditional family units that can seem strange to the more uptight members of the community.  So no warrant and no search.  No arrest for breaking and entering.  No arrest for public nudity.  No arrest for disorderly conduct.  No arrest at all.  The police let the two "lovers" be reunited.

Unfortunately, the resident they talked to was Jeffrey Dahmer, who would later complete the killing of the young man. 

Freedom Of Speech? Not Yours.

Obama's pals at ACORN have been busy.

Oregon Leaps Forward

According to CNN's latest (already outdated)  state rankings, Oregon can strut around like a banty rooster and do some crowing.

No. 26 in business friendliness, No. 37 in education, No. 38 in cost of living and No. 39 in economy.

We're ahead of Arkansas, anyway.

And one of the big influences in the Oregon economy would, of course, be Portland - and by extension, its slimy mayor.  The petition for recalling the slime is gaining steam, but inexplicably, some folks seem to oppose letting democracy do its thing.

Put Portland first by not signing the recall petition?  That's some twisted thinking there.
