Re: “Oregon Unemployment—Slightly Better, But People Are "Giving Up" Looking For Work”
The Fred Meyers on Interstate gets more Police Bureau calls for service than any other location in the city. In this country if you are white it's called "foraging" and if you are black it's looting.
A better model for America's dystopian future is the Post Apocalypse economy in Argentina during the late nineties and early 21st century.
"“Tearing off the metal cladding, they invaded the bank lobbies and in full sight of the police, without a mask or black hoody to be seen, proceeded to destroy the cash machines. Women with perms, golden bracelets and high heels kicked at the windows, lipstick grins spreading as they watched the glass shatter. Every armoured security van the mob of 300 people came across was surrounded. Men in business suits proceeded to unscrew the wheel-nuts, while others prised open the bonnets, tearing out wires from the engines. Soccer mums jumped up and down on top of vans, smashing anything that could be broken, wing-mirrors, lights, number plates...”

"You could go back to school, or you could join the military," In other words we don't have a clue. This is what passes for job counseling at the Oregon Employment Department. As much or more than any agent in this current downturn the OED is compounding the misery with useless advice, mindless busywork, flawed statistics and self serving experts hiding in their cubicles grateful they are not looking for work. Governor Kulongoski could do us all a favor, pull the plug and turn these parasites onto the streets.
Re: “Muslim Community Center Slated For North PDX”
I support the construction of this masjid and the congregation that is building it but Sarah needs to do some fact checking before she slams "D".
From Muslim Community Center of Portland (2006) Profile. http://pluralism.org/profiles/view/73559
"In 2003, the Muslim Community Center taxed its working members to purchase the building adjacent to it, so that they could once again separate the spaces in which men and women pray" ... "Men and women have separate entrances leading to separate prayer rooms that are adjoined inside by a middle door. The women’s side has a small library and a classroom in addition to the prayer room, while the men’s side has just a large prayer room."
Does Sara support the segregation of men and women for worship because this is clearly the position advocated by the congregation.
Re: “Fandango Can Suck It”
Sheesh Matt you must be earning some heavy cake there at the Merc not to notice an unexplained $12. on your monthly bank statement. Man I wanna get me some of that big written green ...
If you feel strongly about it follow up with Oregon Attorney General John Kroger's Financial Fraud/Consumer Protection group. He has really given this group some muscle and they take these complaints seriously. Good guys working to protect us from Fandango and their ilk. Might even be worth a story...
