The Portland Trail Blazers announced today that they have hired former Oregon Gov. Neil Goldschmidt as their chief political strategist.
"We know he has some character issues," said Paul Allen, the team's owner, at a hastily called press conference at the NBA team's bankrupt Rose Garden arena. "But we've admired his enormous talent for quite some time. And he's promised to change the way he deals with his off-court problems.
"We think he'll fit right in with our system."
Allen is often listed as one of the clients of Goldschmidt's highly lucrative consulting business.

Is there a statute of limitations on child molestation? 20 year olds go to jail if they molest 16 year olds. 35 vs. 14 seems like it should be jail time!

It would have been, up to five years, but the statute has long since run out.
I'm sure she looked 15...

That is wickedly funny...and supremely sad at the same time.
Is there even a word for that?

Yeah, and I heard the Blazers hired Martha Stewart to design their new uniforms.
