Hot Live Blog Action: Blazers vs Clippers
The “BOOOO’s” are raining down on Zach Randolph, the new Los Angeles Clipper and former Trail Blazer, during introductions here at the Rose Garden. Ouch. Not even a split decision—just pure vitriol. A quick note on Zach: Whatever you think about his time in Portland, Zach was a nice guy. When I was a Blazer […]

Rich Pets Have More Fun
Sometimes it’s good to just absorb the strange with a smile. Settle down, take a big whiff, all the while realizing the world–and by extension, the things that trouble you–is just no big deal. Take, for example, this list of the world’s richest pets. That there’s a dog worth some £90 million is just too […]

Dan Savage in the Times
As Amy noted earlier, Mercury buddy Dan Savage was on the Colbert Report last night (where I must say, he may have actually out-funny’d Steven, which is no easy task). Well Dan’s on a roll, following last night’s TV appearance with an editorial in today’s New York Times. The piece concerns a less talked about, […]

Hot Live Blog Action: Trailblazers vs. Timberwolves
My goodness it’s relaxed here at the Rose Garden tonight and it couldn’t be more welcome. The Blazers, for the first time this season, are facing an opponent who, well, let’s face it, totally blow. And thank God–every game thus far has been against playoff and title contenders. Plus there’s no national media clogging up […]

Hot Live Blog Action: Trailblazers vs. Rockets
Here we are for just the second Blazer home game and I ought to be a little more upbeat. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am indeed happy to be here–for there is no better way to beat the rain-soaked gloom of the Oregon winter than sacking out inside the glistening Rose Garden. It’s just […]

The Sizemore Ballot…
…straight from the horse’s mouth. Perhaps you’re like me and haven’t voted yet. I like to wait until election day to fill out my ballot. There’s a certain ritual to it that feels much more special and inclusive than taking care of the thing on a random Sunday in October. And if you haven’t filled […]

Don’t Cross Dave
As noted earlier by The Stranger’s Eli Sanders (who was apparently just too busy to bother calling me back at the DNC), John McCain’s campaign suspension cancelled the candidate’s appearance on David Letterman. Well hooooo boy did Letterman have a go at McCain’s ridiculous posturing (which has already been met with a near-universal shoulder shrug […]
