It turns out Mayor Sam Adams isn’t answering any questions at all. Pursued up the stairs to his office, after this morning’s council meeting, Adams did not respond to an Oregonian reporters’s repeated questions about his schedule today as it relates to city business. Instead, he responded, twice, “I’m happy to answer questions about city business.”

Run away! Run away! Run away!
We lodged a query, instead, on Adams’ schedule, with his communications boss, Wade Nkrumah.
I expect it’ll be returned.
At some point.
Good for you SAM-
I sure as hell WOULD NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS if I were you.
Screw the press, they aint on your side, hopefully you’ve figured that out!

SAM ADAMS WIDENS HIS LEAD OVER THE PRESS, folks this game has turned all the way over to SAM ADAMS!
WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT?
THE FANS THOUGHT SAM ADAMS WAS DEAD, SHUT OUT, DISGRACED, RUINED, BUT NO, SAM IN A SURPRISE COMEBACK HAS SHOCKED HIS OPPONENTS. THEY ARE DAZED, THEY ARE CONFUSED, CAN THEY REGROUP TO TAKE THE LEAD ONCE AGAIN?
STAY TUNED, THIS GAME AINT OVER FOLKS
Hey that line sounds awfully familiar! I know, I know:
“I’m happy to answer questions about a Triple jump.” – Tonya Harding
I LOVE CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!1!!
WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
THE SEXY, SEXY CHILDREN!
And I thought I was the only one who loved capital letters!
Seen yesterday on the reader board outside of The Eagle on Lombard:
“Way to go Sam. 18 years old that’s hot”
Thought that was a nice show of support.
He may have been lying about taking certain questions.
If I were him, I’d be turning around and trying to girlslap/ kick the reporters down the stairs. Guess there’s a reason I’m not mayor.
Will don’t give up. The par for being mayor has come way down in the past few weeks.
The arctic blast came back in just enough time to save Sam! The media is all caught up in 24hr video clips of cars parked on the highways. But the real question is, why did they have to cancel the Price is Right for this shit?!
