Yay, hanging gardens. Wait - the construction is going to take 30 to 40 months?? What? Can that number be right?

@Reymont: I know that reading comprehension isn't your strong point, but all the improvements to the building, including replacing the leaking windows and siding and building/planting the hanging garden, will take 30-40 months.

Re: the Supreme Court ruling this week.

The McCain-Feingold "campaign finance" law--which until yesterday's ruling made it a felony for corporations to engage in certain political speech--exempted "media companies" like the Index Newspapers, LLC 605 NE 21st Ave Portland, OR 97232 from this restriction.

McCain-Feingold, in other words, granted a small group of companies, including the Mercury., the privilege to speak freely about politics, while denying it to all other corporations--not only "companies . . . that exist to make money," but also taxable nonprofits that exist to represent a point of view, including the advocacy arms of the Sierra Club, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Rifle Association.
Is this what the Mercury considers fair???

Regarding the beetle brooch, did you see that some guy got caught trying to smuggle a bunch of lizards into the US by taping them to his chest. I wonder what gave him away.

Please wait...
