| '''"Eager Beaver" Police State Does Its Part To Stick It To The Man'''<br />
| |
| A Portland hedge fund analyst exposed his virile manliness by standing up to "two fresh faced eager beavers from the FBI" and refusing to "wear a wire and therefore ensnare (his clients) in (the 'eager beavers') devious web." (It's also manly to mix metaphors like "beavers" with "devious web" or "spiders" with "devious dam.") Afterward the hedge fund inside trading analyst cursed the [[Portland Timbers]] for failing to drive the FBI's "eager beavers" out of Portland as successfully as they banished the [[Portland Beavers]] from [[Stumptown]].<br />

| '''Concern Mounts Over Portland's Public Displays Of Wanton Gluttony'''<br /> | |
| Labeled "America's New Food Eden," meat-centric restaurants like the [[Beast]], [[Country Cat]], [[People's Pig]] and other "lardcore" eateries serve non-kosher food that is "so good it will literally make you sick." In the midst of all this pork barrel fetishizing, has anyone stopped to think about the poor, starving waifs in Africa? Enquiring stomachs want to know.<br />

| |
| The success of [http://www.peta.org/ PETA]'s "proud body" campaign depends on ubiquitous distribution of [http://www.tsa.gov/ TSA]'s full-body scanners at all major airports. Unfortunately, the scanners slated for Portland International Airport ([[PDX]]) have failed to materialize and "Portland is not on TSA's deployment list" for the remainder of the year. Can PETA's "proud body" campaign successfully exploit any furtive gropings and fondlings TSA's "handlers" inflict upon Portland's air travel victims?<br />

| '''America's "Moral Majority" Blame Poor Folks For Economic Blight Imposed By Wall Street'''<br />
| |
| "Political conservatives (continue) to blame poor African-Americans and Hispanics for the very act of being poor even as 43.6 million Americans of all racial stripes, 12.3 percent of them white, are living in poverty and collectively struggling to survive the fallout of an economic downturn (characterized by) widespread layoffs, massive home foreclosures and loss of retirement savings and other assets."<br />
