Re: “Hall Monitor”
You've got to be fucking kidding me! This made me laugh so hard I nearly shit a hole through my Levis. Just to make sure I wasn't going completely insane I pulled out my trusty Webster's dictionary and sure enough, there it was in plain English:
hyp⋅o⋅crite [hip-uh-krit] - noun
1. The Portland Mercury
As much as I agree with the observation, to see this coming from the pages of The Merc is just too much. Is Matt Davis delusional or has he finally taken the Mayor's balls out of his mouth long enough to look in the mirror?
Re: “We Mean it This Time”
Geekoid:
Forgiving your typo and grammatical error, you still sound like the typical American moron who can't grasp the basic concepts that our democracy is founded on. People like you are the ones who shrugged their shoulders and said, "I don't have anything to hide," while Bush rammed the Patriot Act up our collective asses.
"ignoring many of thousands of people desires to support a loud 400"?
Tell me...do you really think the members of the PBA truly represent the best interests of the majority of citizens? How can you not see the poison rooted in comments like: "How can we change the state constitution?" or "I'm wondering if we've looked at the option of privatizing the sidewalks?" These types of "leaders in our community" will gladly shred our civil liberties just so they can sell you more gum and soda.
Personally, I'm upset that Matt Davis failed to share the names of the PBA members making these absurd suggestions. I'm sure it was an agreement he made with that can of Spam we call a mayor. Had he done so, I'd make sure to SPEND MY MONEY at a different local business and maybe toss the change to someone who's down on their luck.
Re: “Finding $15 Million”
6% What a gentleman! Maybe we can use it to pay off the millions still owed from the last remodel.
Re: “Finding $15 Million”
I'd like to ask Mr. Paulson if he plans on compensating the people of Portland for his greed.
Will his new stadium have special offers like "Mental Health Mondays" or possibly "Transient Tuesdays", oh, and maybe "Soup Kitchen Sundays"?
Will his concession stands accept food stamps?
Will you get a discount on your $30+ ticket price if you show your unemployment check-stub?
Re: “PTFC2K9: Cautious Optimism”
"Don't need the pompous, fairweathers like zipitup who want the city to fail, anyway. He sounds like Rush Limbaugh."
Right, because Rush is constantly railing against the corrupting influences of the wealthy elite. Please....
Re: “Behold! The Transit Mall's $2000 Trash Cans!”
I'm glad to see some folks are questioning aspects of the new transit mall. Personally, I thought the whole concept was flawed to begin with. Putting trains, buses, cars, trucks, bikes, and pedestrians all on one street is a formula for trouble. To think that people are actually going to want to "window shop" amongst this mess is just plain flawed logic and poor planning.
As for the trash cans and benches. You've got to love $2000 trash cans with locks on them and benches with arms so that no one could possibly get the inclination to lie down. It's a hell of a showing for a city that says it's "dedicated to ending homelessness." I guess they figure that if they push them out of sight they can call it mission accomplished.
Re: “PTFC2K9: Cautious Optimism”
I wonder if Paulson used to break all of his expensive toys when he was a kid? It would be an interesting case study.
