Portland, Oregon: Cheap-Ass Cars & Spendy Bikes
Phoenix, Arizona: Spendy cars & cheap-ass bikes. Can we trade?
Portland boasts lower car resale prices than most other U.S. towns. Unfortunately, the burden of over-priced used bicycles is greater only in Seattle.

Kindle-Reading Predator Drone Pilot Wipes Out Entire Village Of Missing School Children
A distracted Lt. Lahcen Qouchbane accidentally squeezed his joystick moments after Sports Illustrated's "Swimsuit Issue" downloaded to his Kindle 3G. The errant squeeze unleashed the wrath of one thousand missile-drones, raining hellfire down upon the tiny village of Kyron, located in the remote Horman province. Qouchbane's joystick snafu was compounded by a CIA contractor who "illegally and hastily reverse-engineered" drone software code resulting in "inaccurate" targeting "by up to 13 metres."
Go to stories:
CIA used 'illegal, inaccurate code to target kill drones' 'They want to kill people with software that doesn't work'
Pakistan drone attacks kill scores: At least three suspected US drone attacks in the Pakistani tribal region of South Waziristan kill at least 28 people.
