| '''Unforgivable'''<br />
| |
| Right-wing blogger denounces "glossy election porn" while shilling for dins of iniquity. Meanwhile other right-wing astro turfers for the Prison Industrial Complex "were indicted Tuesday on accusations they forged voter signatures on two initiative petitions." Isn't it more intelligent to say "to hell with gambling casinos and more prisons" and vote for Voter-Owned Elections?<br />

| '''Cops In "The Other Portland" Drop Their Weapons'''<br />
| | <References /> |
| Police in Portland, Maine raised eyebrows after their sniper rifles began shooting all by themselves. A police training video shows the Remington 700 rifles -- "a mainstay for the U.S. military, law enforcement and gun enthusiasts" -- firing "when the trigger was not being pulled." Not realizing the weapons system's "loose cannon-like" behavior was a "feature" rather than a defect, Police Chief James Craig said "I don't want to run the risk of having an accidental discharge" that could soil an officer's pants or put a "community member's life in danger."<br />

| '''Republican Party Campaign Flyer Freakout!'''<br />
| |
| GOP operatives work so hard and get so little respect. It's not easy slathering thick wads of sleazy pro-corporate lucre everywhere just to buy up 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 />
| |
| 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 />
