| '''Republican Party Campaign Flyer Freakout!'''<br />
| |
| GOP operatives work so hard and get so little respect. It's not easy slathering thick layers of sleazy corporate lucre everywhere just to buy 'em an election or two. But that's nothin'! Throwing elections and lining the Supreme Court with hand-picked corporate quislings is a messy, thankless chore. That's why it's just so upsetting when the public gets in the way. Like when an errant teacher's union flyer finds its way into a kindergartener's school folder. These types of shenanigans show blatant disrespect of one's societal betters. Jeez! I'd make a Federal case outta that kinda nonsense too. Wouldn't you?<br />

| '''Secret Revealed: [[South Waterfront]] Is Actually Portland's Most Overpriced Film Prop'''<br />
| | <References /> |
| And you thought South Waterfront was merely "a highrise wasteland of condos no one lives in." But for "budgetless" film directors "it’s a filmmaker’s dream." Why? If you "want to film a scene with a skyscraper environment without the hassles of random people interrupting your shot" the "very deadness of [[South Waterfront|SoWat]] makes it (an) ideal (location). You’ve got skyscrapers, busses, the streetcar, the tram, the river. And now there’s even a really cute park. It all feels pretty generic.... It could be any city."<br />

| |
| Sure, the Environmental Protection Agency paddled [[Portland General Electric]] on the bum bum earlier this month to punish the utility for the coal-fired air pollution its [[Boardman]] plant inflicts on breathing life forms. Despite these sins, the [[City of Portland]] managed to crawl onto "EPA's elite list of [[Green Power Communities]] for the city's extensive efforts to reduce its carbon footprint."<br />

| "Leadership Council" frets that "Portland's hyper-pluralistic decision-making process" may disrupt public development schemes, concocted behind "closed doors," to lure "private investment." Proposes "Community Investment Initiative" to "overcome a uniquely Portland roadblock."<br />
