I made a funny in the Oregonian comments section, it makes more sense if you read the recall's press release first but I can't find it on their website. It appears way down in the comments on this Oregonian story -

The Community to Recall Sam Adams
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July, 29 2009

WURSTER TO ADDRESS CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THREATS TO DANCE PARTY AND PARTY ATTENDEES

(Portland, OR) Chief partier Jasun Wurster will address Portland City Council during the communications period, 9:30 AM at Council Chambers, 1221 SW Fourth Ave., to specifically request the Mayor and certain members of Council eliminate fears of retaliation against attendees of recent dance parties held in Jasun Wurster’s basement.

Wurster has held numerous dance parties in his basement in recent months all of which have been attended by only three to five people, including Wurster. Wurster has received several reports from people who said they would have liked to attend his parties but did not because they feared retaliation or losing face with the City for attending.

"City Council must understand that when citizens fear to participate in these dance parties, with even a perceived fear of retribution or shame from their neighbors, we no longer have an environment conducive to dance parties. Council must show leadership to the people who work for them and with them by making it clear that it is everyone's right to come hang out in my basement on their own time."

One of those who did not attend said parties was interviewed but asked not to be named. “Jasun is a nice guy and everything, but hanging out in his basement is not my idea of a good time.” He continued, “Yeah I may have told him that I feared Sam Adams would hurt me if I went, but I really just didn’t have the heart to tell him that his parties are kinda lame."

Isn't he a student at Cascade College or something?

That would explain much of the ineptitude.

Is the entire city council on something?!! Amanda and gang look completely dazed and then Randy starts spouting off religious jargon that makes no fricken sense at all. Davis mercifully left out the entire “my great granny say’s he who casts the first stone…lest he be judged…forgive Sam ” mumbo jumbo that Randy prattled on an on about.

Hey Randy, no one has a problem with forgiveness but forgiveness does not absolve Sam of the consequences of his actions. Letting the voters decide one whether or not they want to keep him around is a direct consequence of Sam Adams poor choices and has little to do with personal forgiveness. I am sure there are good things about Sam Adams the person but Sam Adams the Mayor has done a lot of harm to a lot of people and has shown little remorse. This is why there is a recall campaign against him, period.

Since its grandma’s favorite quote morning at City Hall I will leave you with my nana’s favorite quote:

"Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim--letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor."
— C R Strahan


Sign the Recall Petition, please.

This was a funny post from the Oregonian, it comes after the third time they posted list of where you can sign -

"Your Home: You set the date You set the time Jasun Wurster will come to your home, if you can get five friends together who want to sign the petition. Call Jasun at 503-799-7919 to schedule a time."

Haha. Or call Dominoes Pizza and order a large pie. Jasun Wurster will also show up at your house in 30 minutes or less or the pizza is free.

That kid seriously needs a hobby or a girlfriend.

@blownspeakers:

Let me name a few. Beau Breedlove and family, Wade Nikrumah, Portland voters, Bob Ball, fellow commissioners (by their own admission Nick Fish and Randy Leonard), Carolyn Becic, John Venzina (its sucks to be accused of a henious crime like rape, imagine how you would feel) Sho Dozono...need more?

@Bob R you erroneously corrected your own grammar. Please now chastise yourself for the mistake.

"Whose turds are those on my yard, Rex?!? They're YOURS. Bad dog!"

So, basically, what Randy Leonard-Adams is telling us is that we can get out of any citation in the city of Portland by reminding the officer on scene that he should "judge not lest ye be judged"?

Furthermore, why is the city of Portland the ONLY city in the nation with this non-representative form of city government with all council members elected at-large rather than from districts around the city?

Now gonetorio, I was disappointed to see you making jokes about Sam and Randy being gay over on the WWeek, we both know you are not a homophobe. This has nothing to do with Sam’s orientation. This is displaced anger that should be directed at Jon Edwards for cheating on his poor wife, and making a sex tape with that evil whore Rielle Hunter. Two wasted years campaigning for that bastard and that is how he repays you. Now sadly, you have jumped over to the sinking ship that is the USS Recall.

You have done your part. Cut your losses, walk away and enjoy the rest of your summer. With all this experience at being told no you may even be ready to try dating again.

Why the bad mood? I don't know. Maybe it is the heat, maybe the obnoxious post you threw up yesterday afternoon, or perhaps the cumulative effect of all your obnoxious posts. You have said you want to create a post-Obama internet revolution; but I think the tactic of that campaign was to get supporters to go to his website, not annoy the fuck out of the rest of the internets with a cabal of quasi-official trolls.

If Sam Adams defines the status quo in your world, you have it worse that I thought.

You say 'emotional bond' and leave it to the rest of the chuckleheads to fill in the blanks, typical.

I am done with this. It is not fun anymore, it is eating up too much of my free time, and I really don't think you guys have a chance at getting the signatures. I am going to take my own advice and 'walk away and enjoy the rest of my summer'. I feel like I did my part. If Jasun starts posting on here again I may change my mind, but I am finished playing with the Junior Varsity squad.
