wouldn't this violate HIPPA statutes too?

If you had bothered to RTFA you would have seen this:

Just as we were leaving, I noticed a pickup truck heading towards us. As I drove past him, I noticed him make a U-turn in my rear-view mirror. After a couple of turns, it became apparent that he was following us. I drove completely legally, even used my turn signals, but after I got on the freeway and he followed us there, I began to get annoyed. I got off, pulled into a parking lot to wait for him to pull over, but he kept going.

When I saw that the first thing that popped into my head was: "Damn, looks like the cock (Sriracha) would be too thick for that"

The ex-wife used to use that stuff like catsup, I tend to go a bit overboard with it when eating noodles.

GO RON!!!!
Yet another reason why I love living in Oregon.

Jeff, once again this is to DRAW attention to the issue, putting something in a park where it is NOT seen does not DRAW attention to the issue.

I have a LOT of family in Memphis, they ALL have a HEAVY twang and still call people from IL & MO Yankees.

Granted they have ALL lived their entire lives down there, not to mention the huge amount of people from there that DO have a twang that are younger (I.E. in their teens-30's)

Thanks you Mr. Hoffman for allowing me to completely understand the chaos theory and it's patterns in Nature.

Thanks for opening my mind to things that I would not have perceived.

Thanks for all of the good times and fun sugarcubes!

Article is back up, the merc probably got "boinged"

I really wonder what the world would be like today the October/Bolshevik revolution had not occurred and the initial aims of the revolution had been able to play out with the Constituent Assembly.

On another note Anarchism an the Comintern were major world forces prior to the '20's. That was about the time that the government started deporting and jailing the Socialists, Anarchists, & Communists for promoting the no conscription league as a protest to our entrance to WWI.

I have to agree with the earlier post promoting Emma Goldman, talk about a person who wouldn't compromise their beliefs. We need more people like her in our day and age.

I used to work with Mr. Roberts at a record store in St. Louis before he became a music journalist.... Good to see he is getting some national attention.

Sometimes just to be an ass and to see how people react, I say this to them:

"if it's longer than 90 seconds and has more than 3 chords it's no longer music, it's masturbation."

most of the time they just shake their heads in confusion, or call me an elitist punk rawk snob, lol

Check out scapegoattattoo.com, the first vegan Tattoo shop here in Portland =D

Chuck Berry could have used these!

But let me remind you that just 20 terrorists destroyed three large buildings and four aircraft, blew a hole in a heavily-defended military command center, and killed around 3,000 people. Just think what 10,000 could do!

Oh, yes. And let's not forget that our own airforce which should have brought the planes down in the first place had their thumbs up their asses that morning. And I have sever doubts that a plane actually hit the pentagon.

My question is when are the following names going to be part of that list:

Gerald Ford
Richard Nixon
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan
George H. Bush
Bill Clinton
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Rumsfeld
Rice

And all of the others that have supported and propped up and supported state sponsored terrorism in countries like:

Iran
Nicaragua
Cuba
El Salvador
Honduras
etc.........

I can see all of the difference this is already making now.

"um, guys sorry...... can't make it to the meeting to overthrow our bourgeois capitalist masters tonight."

"Why not comrade?"

"well, I got a new job today, and I had to sign this paper called a Loyalty Oath, so I can't talk to you anymore..."

LMAO

Has no one read Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast?

Not only did they have a plan for Iraq, but they had 2.

Seriously people, read the book maybe it will open an eye or 2, or maybe even piss you off enough to get you to do something about the theft of our country by the robber barons on the hill.

Provisional ballots ARE NOT COUNTED do not accept those.

Regardless of whether these kids were in the wrong, the relevant fact is that the "dude" abused his power and authority.

The biggest wonder I have is how many other times has this guy overstepped his boundaries and abused citizens and NOT been caught on video.

This guy should be fired and charged with assault and battery to a minor plain and simple, if that kid would have done that to him, he wouldn't see the light of day until he was 30 (if he even lived afterward).

The abuses and apologists of the police forces nationwide have got to stop. They caught his violent actions on tape and now not only is it a local issue, but also a national issue.

Remember people, cameras watch us wherever we go and we are filmed constantly doing mundane actions.

But that same thing empowers citizens to take on and publicize abuses by the state/municipality as well.

@10:

AT&T = SBC
After SBC bought them out a few years ago, they were required to change SBC name/brand to ATT.

@#11 It's Vinyl, not Vynil

in the 50's:

"ZOMG!!!11111 Communists are EVERYWHERE@!!!111!1!1"

in the 00's:

"ZOMG!!!11111 turrists are EVERYWHERE@!!!111!1!1"

Where is our Ed Murrow?

Portland police are getting more bold by the day with their "non-lethal" weapon use.

Almost every week we hear about some disgusting abuse of power to commit violence against a citizen of our city.

I know for a fact that police work is not easy and they deal with a lot of dregs of society.

BUT! this is becoming a regular occurrence. Recently a sheriff's deputy (I know sheriffs are not municipal) boasting on a COH bulletin-board about shattering a prisoners eye-socket, and having the prisoner agree to all charges to get away from the deputy.

All you have to to is google: "Portland Police brutality"

To get a good idea how an encounter is going to turn out.

I was told by a Portland police thug, that I: "needed to give him a good reason not to pull me out of my car and beat the fuck out of me in the middle of the street" ..... After not understanding the way they had flares set up at a wreck at an intersection.

I completely complied with all of his direction, did not give him attitude, and spoke in a respectful manner (i.e. "Sir")

Police abuses are getting bolder and more frequent by the day.

What the hell is this supposed to be????

Why bother moderating Anon comments if you are going to let these travesties get posted???

You either need a new keyboard with vowels or to take a basic English language class.
