It's not been a good week for those
who are trying to build opposition to the tax
fairness bills passed in the Leg last year and now referred to January's ballot. In two separate rulings at both the lowest and highest levels of Oregon's court system, teabagging plaintiffs who had sued for a ...

A quickie: right now (4pm) the new head of
the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, Jon Isaacs--late of
the victorious Merkley for Senate campaign--is conducting a live blog on Measures 66 and 67. Why would an environmental advocacy concern take the time to talk about tax fairness? Isaacs ...

The O carries a story from this afternoon
describing a trio of Democratic Senators who are seeking
a slowdown on the potential extension of some of the more egregious USA PATRIOT provisions otherwise set to expire. (Betcha didn't know the Act's title was actually in acronym form, didya? It's ...

Fans, we're nearing the end of the first
extended road trip of the season--which has seemed awfully
long already, even though only seven of the first dozen have been away games. I think it's just the newness of the season, getting only a couple of home-cooking games at a time before being ...

We can all blame Oregon Representative Earl Blumenauer
for giving Betsy McCaughey, Sarah Palin and the rest
of the lunatic wing of the Republican Party their fodder for the biggest and most absurd summer episode surrounding health care reform: "death panels." Were it not for his totally ...

When an Oregonian article uses some version of
that phrase "over a cliff" three times in a
single 400-word piece about Oregon's budget future, it's a safe bet they're trying to make a point : California drew national attention to the risk that states would go broke when it had to issue IOUs to ...

[In my defense to somewhat-arch comments made during
the limericks this morning, by the way, I'll say
