GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Well I tried to tell you so (yes I did), but I guess you didn’t know. As the saddest story goes, baby, now I got the flow. LET’S GO TO PRESS.
It’s day 19 of Oregon’s standoff with the Yahoo Militia, whose very limited popularity seems to be waning by the day. At a heated community meeting last night in Burns, the townsfolk took great relish in telling Ammon Bundy to go home, and chewing his hillbilly, faux-militia ass OUT. Meanwhile, the Yahoos are encouraging ranchers to stop paying federal grazing fees. Fine with me…. See you in JAIL, idiots!
Campaign season is now officially underway, and candidates are coming out of the woodwork vying for Commissioner Novick and Mayor Hales’ seats. Here’s the latest!
ICYMI, the downtown upper-crust restaurant and home to various lawyers and fancy-pants, the Veritable Quandary will be closing down this summer to make room for the new Multnomah County Courthouse.
The city says its hands are tied, and must continue buying parking meters from the Cale Group who have been implicated in a bribery scandal.
At least 30 dead and dozens are injured in a terror attack against a Pakistan university.
Satellite photos have confirmed that ISIS has destroyed an ancient and beloved Christian monastery in Iraq.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch is saying that President Obama’s executive actions to curb gun violence is legally on the up-and-up.
Bernie Sanders continues to swing hard against accusations that he has little foreign policy experience, saying his judgment on such matters—as in his votes against the Iraq war—is far better than Clinton’s.
Republican Ben Carson is temporarily suspending his presidential campaign after four of his team members are killed in a fatal car crash.
This is just sounds, what is happening, somebody save us https://t.co/dFklNDqs5o

Hollywood (and in particular the Academy) is filled with racists, and they’re seemingly pretty happy to keep it that way.
A monster winter storm is supposedly heading for the northeast US—with the possibility of a two foot deep dump of snow.

And finally, a TV morning show chef gets busted on camera presumably making a line of cocaine. (Whether he’s faking it or not is debatable… BUT THOSE EYES!!)
