This mayor hasn't been taken seriously for a couple of years, after the scandal broke about him having a penchant for teenage boys. Not to mention a couple of other instances of bizarre behavior. He's not running for re-election because he knows he'd be clobbered.

He's no doubt planning for a cushy job in the Obama administration after this farce is over.

I’m coming to Portland tomorrow on business. Fortunately NOT downtown.

6:45 a.m.: The crowd’s dispersing. Lownsdale Square is all but empty except for chest-high mounds of debris. Chapman Square is still packed with people and tents.

6:42 a.m.: Madison Dines, 25, a Portland State University engineering student, says this morning’s movement was made up of dedicated Occupy Portland protesters. Not drug addicts or hangers-on.

“This has regalvanized our movement,” he says.

He also says members of the protest pushed out the man who threw the projectile from the crowd so police could arrest him. They don’t want to be associated with violence, he says.

“Of course we pushed that person out there. We don’t want to antagonize police.”

He says the movement’s focus has been on keeping the parks “We won,” Dines said. “We were evicted and now we’re staying.”

When the recall(s) failed, I figured that the people of Portland must approve of his homo pedophile behavior. Anyway, it’s good that he won’t be around much longer.
