It would hardly be unheard-of for David Reinhard to be in the running for this award, of course. I didn't read that particular column because, well, when you're 1500 miles away and The O's website is terrible, you don't read the newspaper much.
But I've always been impressed at the gap between what he claims to be, that is, decent and genial, and what he actually is, which is neither of those. I think they feel obliged to keep things 'lively,' as they used to be the ones who carried Phil Stanford.

Don't be too hard Sister Renee, aspiring rap artist, Jack. After all, you seem to see eye-to- eye with her on such issues as Measure 30, local pols, and the Portland Streetcar.

Yeah, but her foul language is the straw that broke the skin on the pimple on the camel's backside. Not with my morning yogurt, please. And can you imagine what would have happened if an Anglo-American reporter had called the Sabin neighborhood a pimple?

It still amazes me that people can go on and on and on about Janet Jackson's Breast, and not mention one small peep about Englishman Streaker's Schlong. Yes, in that very same Super Bowl game, with millions of people watching, a man jumped out from the stands, ran onto the field in the middle of play, and ran around the field with his..erm, "footballs", waving to and fro. So, when an unintentional boob stunt (yes, the black fabric was supposed to come off but the red fabric was NOT -I used to work for ESPN and still have reliable sources for the true skinny in sports) happens, and anyone who has a Tivo can tell that it was unintentional (on the part of Janet anyways) as her face was a clear giveaway -she's just not that good of an actor to fake being suprised as hell, and on the other hand an absolutely Planned and Intentional baring of all, full frontal everything swinging around in the breeze, yet somehow people go all moral on the unintentional BREAST? I just don't understand that. What, are penis' perfectly 'moral' for our children to engage in viewing on a Sunday afternoon? Does this not seem a bit odd, this dichotomy?

The Oregonian's Op-Ed pages are boring because Portlanders are so earnest and humorless.
I know it's hard to lighten up and enjoy life when you live inside a rain cloud, but you folks really should give it a try.

Richard (Mossback),
Well, there's always the Mercury. :)

Yuck - the Mercury News is at least as earnest as the Boregonian. When Joanne Jacobs worked for them it wasn't, but that's over.
