Return of the Scone
An alert reader points out that the inevitable coronation of Sam the Tram as Portland's next mayor is sure to bring at least one familiar face back onto the scene -- and we don't mean that in a good way. Here's a photo out of the current Sellwood Bee of the Tramster's announcement party at Roots Brewing. Look who's lining up for his PDC chairmanship:

Dude, it took me quite a while to figure out who you were talking about. Then, finally, I saw the helpful arrow.
That's a nice little Halloween scare you gave me when I realized you were talking about Jim Francesconi!

I think it's more likely to be Roy Jay.

Jack: Can you get a few days off to run for a PDC office? ANY OFFICE!
Keep the same old boys or girls out of this deal for awhile.

Is Warner Pacific College still a client?

So strange how everybody in this picture is looking in different directions and nobody seems to be really interacting with anybody else. It's like political theatre turned feeding time at the zoo, like they're waiting for somebody to start throwing in food to scamper after. If you could take a picture of restless opportunism, this would be it.
