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 […]

Presidential Bearing
Watching Obama’s response to the news that John McCain has suspended his campaign is a real treat. Notice the way he says he thinks Presidents should be able to handle “more than one thing at a time,” and how he’s tempted to be sarcastic at one point, but how he reigns it in, for fear […]

Tonight on Project Runway
I must say, I am especially looking forward to tonight’s installment of Project Runway, because it is guest-judged by LL COOL J! Ah, the hiphop challenge. Now I really think this could go either way for our girl Leanne Marshall–but I’m going to assume she does okay. On the other hand, things don’t look so […]

Daft Punk via Theremin, Nintendo DS
Picture Nikola Tesla in his lab trying to create the world’s first electrical platypus. He toils for hours on his mechanical horror, before falling asleep sometime around 1AM. Come morning, an errant sparrow flies in his window, lands on the instrument and is immediately devoured by its whirling, sparking beak, struggling just enough to dislodge […]

And 2) it’s the new Kirk Cameron (best known for his role in Growing Pains, and his upcoming Rapture disappearance) joint entitled Flameproof, about a hero fireman and […]

The FBI is investigating the corrupt corporations at the center of the Wall Street crash — and they may want to hurry before these companies blow through the $700 billion we’re planning on giving them. North Korea kicks out U.N. monitors, decides to get the band back together. Their band’s name is “Nuclear Holocaust” by […]

White. Christians. Dancing.
Seriously, if it weren’t for YouTube, I would no longer have any church-going experiences. But if I could be guaranteed that something as hilarious as the following video would happen every Sunday? I’d be a church-goin’ fool. Anyway, thank you Jesus, for bestowing upon the internet the following video gem in which three honky-honky Christians […]

On Idealism And Protest
I’m no longer an idealist. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admire the work of those who are. Here’s a Youtube of the protest organized by the Portland Coalition Against Poverty outside the Portland Police Bureau on September 17. Watching it, I couldn’t help but cringe. These guys sincerely believe in what they’re fighting for […]

Wanted: Single, Opinionated Male…
I’ve just got off the phone with State Senate candidate Lisa Michaels(R). She’s running for seat 14 against Mark Hass(D), and unfortunately, won’t be coming in for an endorsement interview because only 5% of the seat is in Multnomah County, and none of it is in Portland. However, Lisa did wonder if I know any […]
