Some comments on local stuff-* There have been a ton of articles about the construction going on downtown but they don't come close to covering what a FUBARED mess planners have made out of the core. Bridges closed for construction, major roads down to one lane - it is a complete disaster and more that a little bit of a pain in the ass to those of us who work nearby. I literally took 45 minutes to get out of downtown last Friday and THAT was after planning a strategic route out of the city. Yuck.
* It looks like Gordo is in trouble in the polls with voters not buying his "I'm a moderate" bullshit. Check out Michelle Neumann's takedown of the Junior Senator from Oregon at the linked article. As a reminder - Gordo spent a lot of time in the last Presidential election calling John Kerry a waffler, particulary in regards to the war. Live by the bullshit soundbite, die by the bullshit soundbite I say. I'm going to permalink StopGordonSmith so you ought to check it out.
* I predicted Greg Oden would be a bust but even I'm surprised at how quickly I turned out be right. How many NBA players were able to stage a comeback after major tonsil surgery? I could count them on one hand.

We should have drafted Odin instead of Oden.
Also, it would be nice to add another DeFazio Dem to the Senate.
The lives of the Norse gods weren't terribly different from those of star basketball players.
As for Gordo- apparently None of the Above can beat him this year. I'm still at a loss as to why Kitzhaber et al are sitting this one out.
Gordo must go! He' a Bushie all the way.
The Iraq War, brought to you by the GOP
