The war drumbeat is slowing. Some of those thuggish dissidents in Ukraine who’ve been stoking the flames of chaos, in a bid to invite the Russians over, have maybe decided not to be such pains in the ass. Polls show most people in the cities they’re mucking up aren’t so interested. But not the steady […]

Trying to wrest the Cover Oregon health care exchange from the bog of incompetence where it’s mired could cost $45 million and two more years, a recent report found. Way cheaper for Oregonians? Just using the federal site. Or piggybacking off another state’s efforts. Anything, really. Those commercials were so twee, though! The Cover Oregon […]

NEVERMIND. It looked like law enforcement was going to take seriously (very seriously) a motorist’s apparently intentional swipe at a cyclist on Friday. KATU says she won’t be charged. Are you rich? Then you could help the city of Bothell, Wash., get its very own bastion of uninspired food, mediocre beer, and coolish architecture: A […]

Oregonians apparently hate condoms. Multnomah County has seen a tenfold increase in syphilis cases over the past seven years. Enjoy your breakfast. So, another through-line links the two Fort Hood shootings—besides the location and growing concerns about whether veterans enduring mental health crises have access to adequate treatment. It’s a massive gun emporium accurately named […]

Good Morning, News!
Good day, Blogtown! Save yourself nine years of TV watching! Read this spoiler-filled article about a somewhat popular gimmick-driven sitcom’s final episode! Speaking of nausea, let’s revisit yesterday’s news about the CIA and torture, and how torture didn’t help American troops capture Osama bin Laden. The 6,300-page Senate report with that finding also says the […]

The Korean Peninsula was good for a few modest “boom-boom-booms” this weekend. But nothing got nuked! So far! Right after warning it was mulling over a new kind of nuclear test (AKA bombing Seoul), North Korea casually “allowed” a few live shells to land over its disputed sea border with South Korea during a training […]
Good Morning, News!
Oregon’s adding jobs faster than most of the country. What kind of jobs, I’d like to know. Cops in Vancouver were searching high and low for a missing three-year-old, and some dude just sort of walked up to a KGW reporter and mentioned he had the kid in his apartment? This is a weird situation. […]
Good Morning, News!
Don’t freak out. Not yet. It’s totally true that there have been more than over more than 30 earthquakes on Mount Hood since Sunday. But geologists are pretty sure nothing awful’s about to happen, like an eruption. Or a BIG earthquake. Saudi Arabia has been increasingly sore at us Americans, for being nice to the […]
