Re: “The VooDoo Burger Strikes Again”
I had them add bacon to mine earlier this week, and it turned my Voodoo burger into an international phenomenon. I uploaded the photo to my facebook account. It is way more appetizing than this photo.
Re: “Attorney General Toned Down Concern About Adams' Credibility”
gonetorio,
I'd suggest that you look deeper into your own arguments. We don't choose who we fall in love with. We don't just wake up one morning and say, "oh, look, I'd rather have a penis than a vagina." The feelings and cravings, the inner knowing - and often the deep confusion and depression that springs forth as a result - are not chosen. Any "choices" made, especially with regard to medical modifications for transgender folks, cannot be simplified down to the level of picking out a sweater or a polo shirt. Those decisions to change physiology are a reflection of who the person is on the inside, an expression of self-identity and not of simple choice.
That's all I will say to you on this issue, because you also obviously feel that GLBTQ (don't forget queer identifying folks) people chose a lifestyle. Many in our community grew up in oppressive circumstances and have deep emotional conflicts to resolve before they can truly believe in themselves. Whether this is your battle or not, it is not for me to say. I just hope you will not add your voice to those who wish to "educate", as Jasun Wurster wishes to do.
Re: “Attorney General Toned Down Concern About Adams' Credibility”
I've been researching this morning, and have been unable to find anything which explains just who Wurster voted for originally. I suppose it doesn't matter, but it could call into question the over-all intent and motives of Wurster's recall effort. Especially in light of comments made in The Portland Tribune, Feb 19, 2009, where Wurster referred to homosexuality as a "lifestyle choice". Wurster says, "We educate individuals who bring up lifestyle choices that our core issues are traits of bad politicians and have nothing to do with sexual orientation. We also see the recall as an opportunity to bring those who are opposed on lifestyle choices together to focus on the common goal of creating a better government."
Mr. Wurster, if you don't understand an issue such as homosexuality, then you most certainly don't need to educate anyone on the subject, positively or negatively. Poorly chosen words have a powerful impact, no matter the intent. Please, do us a favor and DO NOT attempt to "educate" anyone on homosexuality.

Re: “This Whole Snuggie Thing is Getting a Little Carried Away”
Screw the snuggie and the slanket. I'm a footed PJ's man! See http://www.adultfootedpjs.com/ and http://www.jumpinjammerz.com/ for adult versions of our favorite thing to run around in as kids. Well, ok, at least MY favorite thing to run around in as a kid. We should do a footed PJ pub crawl.
Re: “Are There Any 17 Year Olds Want To Make Out With Me In A Bathroom For A Minute Without Touching Any Of My Intimate Parts Just For The Sake Of An Experiment, So We Can Lay This Thing To Rest?”
Matt, probably not the best thing to mention a 17 year old, and "lay" in the same sentence...
if I were 17, I'd totally make out with you.
Re: “Throwing Myself In The River”
I've always relished your unique style...especially when with my husband.
Re: “Good Morning, News!”
Bill Diss is also an algebra teacher in the evenings at Portland Community College, Sylvania campus. At least he was in 2006. I was in one of his classes. He's an ass of incalculable measure. It doesn't surprise me in the least that he's encouraging mob-style tactics to get his way. It's how he runs his class.
