Conservative or Lib?
Where you choose to live says a lot about you. Seventy-seven percent of “consistently liberal” adults went with what sounded like the urban milieu: the dense neighborhood, the compact home, the “walkability.” Fully seventy-five percent of “consistently conservative” adults went with the polar opposite. Suburbs, however, seem to contain an almost identical ratio of liberals and conservatives […]
Brilliant!
April 20, 2014
It was only a matter of time. Drones outfitted with infrared cameras are being used – not by cops (yet), but by extortionists – to locate grow-ops. Once found, they move in for their cut of the profits.
Give It Up, Legacy Media
April 19, 2013
A good working definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, always expecting a different result. By that definition, the American legacy media are collectively nuts. Note to legacy media: it may be about time to consider shutting the hell up. Let’s face it – you’ve never been right; you’ve been drooling […]
The Greening Of Portland
March 10, 2013
About a year and a half ago, then Portland mayor Sammy Adams and his cohorts on the Portland City Council decreed a radical, “green” approach to waste disposal: they sent little plastic slop buckets (made in Canada, naturally) out to virtually every house in the city, and cut garbage pickups to twice a month – […]
Caught In Lie, Oregon State Senator Plays For Sympathy
March 5, 2013
She stands against “intimidation” – when it suits her. Democrat State Senator Ginny Burdick, an inveterate gun-grabber and author of several efforts to relieve Oregonians of the burdens imposed by their Constitutional rights, was to hold a “town hall” meeting at Portland State University last night, but at the last minute cancelled the event, citing “scheduling […]
Environmental Nazis
December 30, 2012
You may recall that Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson submitted her resignation within two weeks of announcement that investigation had begun into illegal use of “alias” email addresses for agency correspondence among Lisa, various subordinates, and extragovernmental organizations. At about the same time, I noted that it’s fairly likely that another investigation will be opened on another front […]
The New World Wars
December 28, 2012
Forget The Bionic Man, and don’t be worrying about anthrax. The future of warfare is evolutionary, and it’s a lot closer than you’d think – if, indeed, it hasn’t already begun: The most realistic future biomods apocalypse is one in which a hostile foreign government or terror group finds ways to subtly change a lot of people. […]
Metro Funding Crisis!
December 8, 2012
In 1995 and 2006, Metro persuaded voters in the Tri-County area surrounding Portland, Oregon to allow the agency to sell hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-backed bonds in order to acquire natural areas “for the benefit of wildlife and people”. Unsurprisingly, the brain-trust at Metro ran right out and bought up thousands of acres of […]
Pixie Dust & Unicorns – Metro Believes
December 8, 2012
The brain-trust at Metro, having twice failed in its grand plans to “create jobs and spur economic development” with its “Oregon Convention Center”, remains convinced that it’ll all work out this time, if only they can get their hands on some more taxpayer money to build a spiffy 600-room Convention Center Hotel. We’ve turned them […]
Check, Please
November 20, 2012
You may recall back in 1984, when the RINO Bob Packwood worked with Leftists to strike a number of tax deductions that had been widely used by middle-income earners (under “tax simplification”, natch). Suddenly, fuel taxes, credit card and auto loan interest, and a host of other deductions were swept away – and equally suddenly, […]
