Rainbow Coalition Of Crime
"This is the first time Adams has ever been so curt toward Oregon's would-be white bigots, saying, basically, 'Chill out white people, because if we're pointing fingers, we're not so great.' Adams is white himself, so presumably he'll be less vulnerable to the manufactured outrage to be leveled at him.... In the meantime, try and think of a time any other white politician was so bracingly direct when speaking to his mostly white constituency about anti-Muslim hysteria."

The Truth Revealed! Now We Know Why "They Hate Us"!
A tireless PortlandWikiLeaks investigation has uncovered the honest to Allah truthful answer to "why they hate us." Winds Of Jihad[1] comment contributor, aussiegirl, informs us that "Once again Islam has to make out ITS the victim!!! when in reality they are all taught to hate us at their mosques." But wait, there's more! "Hate monger and anti-mosque queen bee"[2] Pamela Geller is kind enough, despite standing accused as a "geriatric Paris Hilton knock-off with...too-oft-seen cleavage,"[3] to bare her soul, uh, breasts in order to tip off unsuspecting Portlandians with the latest diabolical intrigues perpetrated by Portland's "communist elected officials."

Pissed-Off Teenage Boy's Life Takes Tragic Turn
Mohamed Osman Mohamud could have had a bright future as a U.S. Air Force predator drone pilot[4] slaughtering third world villagers half a world away. Tragically, a motley crew of Pakistani jihadists and undercover F.B.I. operatives convinced Mohamud to reach for "jihadi glory" instead. On Friday night, the F.B.I. arrested Mohamud for attempting to set off a dud bomb, provided by F.B.I. undercover operatives, at Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square minutes before the city's annual tree-lighting ceremony.

Who'll Stop The Pain?
You will! In Oregon, self-medicating is as American as DIY. Oregon ranks fifth nationally for prescription painkiller abuse and has the highest rate in the country among 18- to 25-year-olds.[5] Dramatic spikes in diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other mental disorders has fueled an unprecedented reliance on pharmaceutical medications. Canadian physician Dr. Gabor Maté argues that these responses are treating surface symptoms as causes while ignoring deeper roots. Dr. Maté says children are in fact reacting to the broader collapse of the nurturing conditions needed for their healthy development.
