"there free speech right"

I guess Portland Monthly isn't the only existing workfare program for otherwise unemployable Portland State journalism majors...

...but spell check didn't find any errors!

Posted by Mike (one of the many) | October 4, 2011 7:19 AM

There, there.

Every 10 shootings = 1 new PR flack hired.

This is how they plan to fix the local economy. Local govt is beyond self-caricature.

One out of two isn't bad - 50% is a passing grade, isn't it?

Posted by John Rettig | October 4, 2011 8:02 AM

Your very observant.

They should all be commited. Bad spelling isn't a crime: lying to the public ought to be.

Posted by Mister Tee | October 4, 2011 9:01 AM

"Experience has show that working.."

I think that someone dropped the letter "n".

Posted by Newleaf | October 4, 2011 9:18 AM

"There", their, they're...They all mean sumtin diffurnt Occifer.

Oh well, it's not any worse than the Oregonian these days.

Posted by Mister Tee | October 4, 2011 9:47 AM

I made a mistake once that required an apology on national TV.
I don't sweat the little stuff after that.

No journalism student left behind....

Translation: "We will give them a permit for a slow parade through downtown Portland. We will kick the s*** out of anyone who steps off the prescribed route. You WILL be able to drive in downtown Portland without having to break for the First Amendment."

Posted by reader | October 4, 2011 10:08 AM

The poor spelling is contagious; that should be "brake".

Posted by reader | October 4, 2011 10:40 AM

Darn, if only I could be their to ensure that there rights are protected while there they're in Portland!

Posted by EB | October 4, 2011 11:11 AM

The bed-head-ucation system has affected not only this journalism student's left behind, but also his right....

Your very observant.

Now that's satire!

Posted by MJ | October 4, 2011 12:22 PM

I think what we got their is a failure to communicate...

Posted by Ralph Woods | October 4, 2011 1:39 PM

Public education at its finest.

Posted by Troy | October 4, 2011 2:34 PM

Gotta love how the C.O.P. tells us when we can use OUR parks. Guessing they are missing the point of OccupyPortland.....
Hey C.O.P. you work for US , and you ought to be darn glad you have a job with a nice pension , which is what all of us in the parade do not have. Anyway come down for the parade folks , bring a sign , and yell your head off.
Venting is good!!

I have to admit I was about to chastise Bojack for misusing the word 'there'...i didn't catch the mistake in the quote. So I didn't get the joke. Grah!
