Proving again and again

YOU CAN'T TRUST A COP!
Never have, never will.

The Media loves these stories...

...about former, current, new, old, you name it, TriMet workers in trouble.
This is the latest: Former TriMet Worker Faces New Charges
Is it so necessary to mention the fact that he was once a TriMet worker?

Judge: Ariz. shooting suspect mentally incompetent

Does it really have to be so huge?


Sounds like a good idea...


Leibenguth said such a system could be either "opt-out," which would give students the free pass unless they turned it down, or "opt-in," which would let students sign up for it.
Now how about free student passes for private schools in Portland?

Too funny

The irony of the words 'completely harmless' and 'potato gun' put together.... 'Shoots potato pellets'.
Completely harmless until you shoot somebody.

Giving Us Flack

There are a lot of them—94 in the Portland area—and their paychecks add up to nearly $7 million a year.
As first reported on wweek.com, these public-relations  people work for the City of Portland, Metro, Portland Public Schools, Multnomah County, the Port of Portland, Portland State University, TriMet, and Oregon Health & Science University. Their average annual pay is around $74,000.
Our list includes staffers who provide information to reporters and citizens. The biggest PR team belongs to the City of Portland. It spends $2.1 million paying its 28 PR people.

Meltdown ooze dripping lower at Fukushima

They're still dousing the heck out of the reactor to stop the deadly glop from eating through the concrete, hitting groundwater, and possibly causing a major explosion. Let's hope they succeed, but the radioactive water they're creating will have to go somewhere, and that somewhere is going to have to be the Pacific Ocean. They're out of places to store the runoff, and despite announced plans, they're many months away from decontaminating it. Better eat your fill of seafood this year. Meanwhile, a bunch of the water is being turned into radioactive steam, which you definitely wouldn't want to breathe.
