Re: “Townshend's Alberta Street Tea House”
Great tea (lots of organics, etc.), decent prices (better than Tea Chai Te), friendly staff, and an awesome atmosphere--love it!

Re: “Twitter's Up The Shitter”
I'm wondering when in my Twitter timeline my life became an empty shell...

I'm looking out the window.
Re: “One Day at a Time”
Oh my goodness, you people really need to lighten up. I thought it was kind of funny. Relax.
I'm willing to write off the surprisingly poor reception that this New Column has received as being one of those "De gustibus non est disputandum" moments (hey Bright Light: look it up). But I do feel compelled to observe that some of you are complaining about the degradation of our culture by ageism and some ambiguous milieu of Portlandy 20-somethings while simultaneously clamoring for lawyers in a hyperlitigious society. That, dear Blogtownies, is irony of the first order ...almost reaching Hipster proportions--and if you had a hard time with this, I don't think that's company that you'll want to keep.
...It's also worth noting that some of the funniest things (and, while not the case here, many salient social and political points, too) have been perceived by the finger-waggers as "uncouth." (Bright Light: why do I need to look up a word that is in perfectly common usage among literate people?) I would encourage all of us to be a bit more judicious with our outrage--where, why, and how it is directed are important considerations, and not to be wasted on obviously satirical pieces in a little alt-weekly.
Re: “New Food Cart: Wolf and Bear's”
they are seriously great folks, too--very kind, generous, and fun. This is a wonderful new addition with great food that's veggie/vegan friendly.
Re: “This Week's Adams Protesters...”
"Don't be so confident Garrett: Sam Adams got what, 58% of the vote? Given the ongoing revolt by the cycling community over the CRC, I don't think it's a stretch to say that 8% of the voting public have changed their minds on him. Given those stats I think it's very realistic to assume that he's toast, in fact."
Jasun, you are assuming that the 34% who voted for Dozono are all going to vote to recall. That is totally implausible and makes you look silly.
Re: “Nau Warehouse Sale Starts Today”
I was there today and they were taking credit cards and checks, too.
There's a fair bit of men's stuff, but much of the medium sizes are gone (I bought it all!). There are still some small sizes, but a lot of XL and XXL.
I don't know why it wasn't stated in the blog post, but I think it bears noting that 2% of the proceeds are going to Ecotrust and Mercy Corps.
