Portland is p@ssed at the Trail Blazers. Passionate fans disappeared a decade ago. The team has to give away tickets so the stadium does not appear vacant for television. Here the team is known as the 'Jail Blazers.' Appropriate title for a team where players have suffered from major criminal investigations. This city holds the team's owner, Paul Allen, in something approaching disgust mixed with hostility and money envy.

Our schools are fighting to get back to normal. Liberal politics in "Lebanon U.S.A." drives me crazy. Thousands turned out to protest against Bush last weekend. Photos were on the front page of the local fishwrapper. Tree huggers and nut cases love Ore-gun.

What the writer of this review apparently does not know is that this city has been linked to the mob since the 1920's. Horrors! A local reporter wrote a book about the problem and quickly moved far away. There was a famous mob figure who was in charge of all the local gambling, prostitution, drug dealing who made a pile of loot. He moved to Nevada and opened a world famous casino. Now the governor and people in power want to open more casinos. Well, we have organized crime and the lottery. What's a few more casinos?

Portland is pretty, much like Seattle is. But the commies there are insufferable and disgust me to no end. And the libs on city council are just as stupid.
