Pay to Play. Is This Really News?

September 10, 2009

There was a recent article in OregonLive.com that talked about how school kids are having to pay for social/sporting activities, shelling out money to play sports, get a yearbook, play a musical instrument etc. Is this anything new?

It’s Official! Print Media is DEAD in Portland!

March 24, 2009

Damn, how could I not have seen this coming? In less than a week, both The Oregonian and Willamette Week have announced pretty hefty pay cuts almost across the board for their employees. A combination of the ever-souring economy and the public’s (nearly) complete lack of interest in the overactive imaginations of both papers and [...]

The Argument Against a New Cell Phone Law…

February 23, 2009

… is not something you’re going to hear from me. While I must have struck a pretty heavy chord with people earlier this morning on the streaming radio show/podcast, it would appear that the positive responses outweigh the negative. Please, keep in mind that I’m NOT condoning a whole new law here, I think Portland [...]

DENIED! Freaky Child Molesting Teacher Kimberly Horenstein Told “Ummm, No. Bitch.”

February 13, 2009

It should never have been considered in the first place. It wasn’t worthy of deliberation. Surprisingly, someone around here did the right thing for a change. As I spouted off just this morning on the live radio show and podcast, Kimberly Horenstein – make that ADMITTED CHILD MOLESTER Kimberly Horenstein – was seeking to regain [...]

Beau Breedlove: Media Whore

February 7, 2009

When the Mayor’s sex scandal first started, the hot question on everyone’s mind was “Who the fuck is Beau Breedlove?” (followed closely by “How the hell does someone end up with a name like “Beau Breedlove”?). Breedlove was nowhere to be found, an enigma lingering in the shadows and public restrooms. He was described all [...]

…And Now The Truth Comes Out

January 24, 2009

Just like I’ve been saying all along, The Oregonian/OregonLive.com has been salivating over the potential national media attention that a good old fashioned sex scandal can bring to a city – and here it is, their official post on the subject.
This is what this whole thing has been about all along my friends. With sales [...]

Oregonlive.com Censors Readers Comments to Downplay Ignorant and Irresponsible Reporting

January 20, 2009

Part-time PDXSucks.com contributor Sabrina Miller pointed out to me that Oregonlive.com has removed Saturdays ignorant and racist editorial article entitled “In a changing world, Portland remains overwhelmingly white” from the “Most Commented on OregonLive.com” sidebar top 10 list.
