Back on Monday, fresh in the hysteria over the Pioneer Courthouse Square bomb plot, Commissioner Dan Saltzman was fervently devoted to the notion that the Portland City Council should vote RIGHT EFFING NOW on whether to rejoin the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Now? Not so much. Let’s follow the bouncing ball.
The first blow came later that day. Mayor Sam Adams, who first raised the question, had a different idea about the timing—and said he was calling instead for a study. The timeline of that study? Soon, but not next week.
Then on Wednesday morning, Saltzman’s chief of staff told me and others that maybe, just maybe Saltzman might consider backing away from December 8. He had until this afternoon to advance a resolution. Saltzman told the O that we definitely couldn’t wait until next year.
Wednesday night, however, another shoe dropped. Randy Leonard wrote a lengthy email to his colleagues telling everyone to hold their horses and let’s not get ahead of ourselves. What’s the point in rejoining the task force, he asked, if the feds got their man anyway?
And then you can guess what happened by this afternoon;s deadline: Saltzman was back to where Adams started off this week. Um, let’s let the council study it before we vote.
“I remain resolved in my belief that Portland should rejoin the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). I met with the Mayor today and he will be providing a draft workplan to Council next week that will lead to Council consideration of rejoining the JTTF. Due to this fact and out of respect for my colleagues, I will not be filing a resolution for the December 8th Council hearing. I feel it is prudent for all of the facts to be aired in public before Council reconsiders this crucial decision for the safety of Portlanders.”
how about a vote right effing now to get Dan Saltzman the eff out of office!?
Spindles, Saltzman was just reelected in May. Surely you remember voting against him in the election?
Yep, I voted against him. Now he should be removed from office, seeing how anyone that gullible is not fit. FYI, I was calling back the language of the article.
Saltzman is a tool. It’s a cliché, but it’s true.
The idea behind “Black Swan,” in as much as ugg cardyit has an idea beyond the presentation of sensation, is that the quest for perfection can unhinge the unwary. It’s a plausible notion, but the problem is that Aronofsky in ugg boots ukhis deterministic zeal can’t help but stack that deck.
What that means is that Nina is a walking nervous breakdown fromugg boots sale the moment we see her. With her unexplained scratch marks and penchant for seeing strange people on the subway, there’s not a moment in the film in which she feels like anything ugg boots cheapother than a wreck.
@jeansonsale123: That is some seriously amazing spambot poetry.
Does the Saltzman family own an Ugg boots franchise now, too?

“Aronofsky in ugg boots” is a sublime phrase…
