Re: “Scenes from the the No on Fluoride Party. Which Is Winning”
"Fluoride is ahead 60 percent to 40 percent in early returns."
Fluoridian slip?
Re: “Cooter Flashing Mini Skirts”
I, for one, have no problem with this at all.
Re: “Penis truck on Marine Drive”
You should have a 'student driver' sticker on your car if you are going to play the 'new-at-driving' card.
How's this guy supposed to know?
He probably thought you were one of our elderly drivers.
'small penis' 'ugly bitch' - blah blah blah.
You sound worse than you make this guy out to be.
Now move on over and let the city pass your slow ass.
Re: “To My Neighbors Two Floors Up”
Blabby nailed it.
I would be so angry that the only proper way to deal with it would be by a note.
Why should they even have to confront your inconsiderate ass anyway?
Re: “City Finds Extra Money; Hales Saves Mounted Patrol, Buckman Pool”
You know what other organization historically seemed to "find" money when desired? The mafia.
Re: “Letters to the Editor”
Yo, screennametaken - the science is out there pal. Clearly you must not have looked too damn hard at all. Or looked only at what you wanted to.
Early polling suggests fluoridation is going down hard. Too bad, it is one of the few tax increases I ever voted for, even though it will be of no benefit to me whatsoever. And it goes along way with my thinking of health care as a basic right.
This to me represents the fact that the politics of fear still work, especially here in supposedly 'progressive' Portland. Fear, and Fear of Change.
You and Jenny McCarthy can enjoy your victory.

Re: “Tonight at Powell's: John Scalzi”
official line, via the Powell's publicity guy:
"Some subjects tend to perform better at particular stores, and our Cedar Hills location has great success building audiences and sales for science-fiction and mystery authors."
Re: “Tonight at Powell's: John Scalzi”
That is a good question. I have always assumed it's because those authors draw the biggest crowds, and the Beaverton store can fit more people comfortably... but it's not like there were THAT many people at the Jo Walton reading. I will find someone to ask.
Re: “Tweet Wars: Michael Ian Black vs. Marc Maron”
Maron and Kumail Nanjiani were on a recent Doug Loves Movies and were pretty testy the entire time, although Kumail came out looking better.
MIB is totally owning him on this one, though:

Re: “Birth of a Killer Tornado”
Apparently his cajones of steel kept him firmly rooted to the ground. Jesus.
Re: “Association at Union/Pine”
ROM, did you read the post? It's a paella. Scanning their menu, it's probably their Crown Royale paella.

Re: “Steven Spielberg Presents Halo: The Television Series”
Hey, it can't be worse than Jerry Bruckheimer Presents Crash Bandicoot.
Re: “Rightwing Anti-Gay French Activist Commits Suicide at Notre Dame Cathedral”
Hey, this is a great idea. Here's to hoping that insane bigots committing suicide starts to trend. Given all the unfortunate LGBT suicides over the years, maybe they could even things out a little.

Re: “Poopstall Lurking!?”
What kind of monsters make you split 1 stall between 30+ people?
Re: “Rightwing Anti-Gay French Activist Commits Suicide at Notre Dame Cathedral”
What a sweet, sweet man to do that in front of all those folks. That'll teach 'em not to be so tolerant.
Bon voyage, Monsieur Venner -- I hope that there is indeed a hell, and that you're getting an introductory tour of the place right about now.
RSSGoing to Seattle?
Re: “Rightwing Anti-Gay French Activist Commits Suicide at Notre Dame Cathedral”
