"BTW, Scarpetti picked Portland State University to recruit 3 of his flame throwing buddies. PSU must be easy pickin's....how many times have we seen that name come up?"
We have friends whose daughter is supposedly going to PSU because her grandmother went there.
I think that they are now wondering how innocent their daughter is. They are both very conservative, capitalistic and have their own businesses. They had asked me about PSU before she went up there, and I told them about it. At that time they thought that I over stated the left wing factions @ PSU. Recently, the husband/father said that I understated what was going on. They are ready to pull the financial plug on her.
She told them that if she couldn't go to PSU, that she would go to the university in Ashland or Cal Berkley. Her mother said that she could just pay her own costs for her final 2-3 years then.
Her mother told me that in two years, her daughter has become a full fledged watermelon. She was a Dean supporter and now supports Nader.
"She told them that if she couldn't go to PSU, that she would go to the university in Ashland or Cal Berkley"
That would be laughable, if not so sad. I've seen it over and over. One friend of my son was the most level headed kid I ever knew. 2 years at OSU and he voted for Nadar. Last time he was here he was bragging about Al Franken, with his book in hand. He doesn't visit any more.......Another friend of my son's works for the Medford Mail Tribune and takes abuse, heckling like you would not believe, because he's "conservative".....they treat him like he's handicapped.
