As Nelson would say in the Simpsons-- "Haw, Haw!"

Ol' Blowhard really cracks me up. "Notoriously humble" was my favorite line.

Reinhard's column was the closest thing I have seen to a Public BJ in a long time and after reading that I'm starting to think that Senator Charles Starr was right when he said "the mouth...is not to be used for sexual purposes."

This remeinds me of a Reinhard piece on Bill Sizemore that bordered on the homoerotic - not that there is anything wrong with homoeroticism, mind you.

One of the more prominent sources in Reinhard's piece was lobbyist Paulette Pyle, "Grassroots Director" of Oregonians for Food and Shelter. While this group might sound as if it gives food and homes to the needy, it actually lobbies against environmental legislation on behalf of big agricultural and logging interests, including pesticide, chemical and biotech companies. Paulette was also one of three 2004 Bush Pioneers from Oregon.

Dear Jenni,

If you really Google Minnis on a daily basis, I would say you need a new hobby.

If you think Reinhard's article on Wayne Scott, advocate for denying cost of living increases to the minimum wage, was ridiculous, check this commentary from The Source Weekly in Bend, Oregon at http://www.tsweekly.com/newspaper/commentary.asp

The good-quality workers at The zerO are embarrassed to be in a paper with such a blind groper for insight who then tries to write what he doesn't see, the overpaid albatross around the neck of editorial esprit. When a heavy karmic drag on operations and image, writes so stinking bad and still keeps a job, it explains that there is more than hack wages going on -- somewhere there is complicity or coercion that someone's exploiting. Because the shoddy product so obviously mocks itself that it defies the reader not to know there must be extracurricular gotchas.
