Cosi fan tutti
As our election porn series wears on, we've been a little worried lately that people might think our recent comparison of State House candidate Cyreena Boston's campaign flyers to ads for a fictional scent called "Passion" was a sexist remark. For the record, please note that this is a unisex fragrance:

Am I just tired, or did Michael Moore shave and decide to run for city council?

What exactly, in the private sector, is this man "experienced" at again ?
Running a transit agency or commercial rail network, perchance ? Driving a cab ? Driving a city bus ? Running a bicycle shop ? Bicycle messenger ?
Repairing mopeds or lawnmowers, even ?
Hell, I've roofed, landscaped, laid tile, laid sod, cooked, waited tables, bussed tables, washed dishes, bartended, bar-backed, distributed restaurant advertising, managed a sandwich shop, baked in a bakery, and so on, but I have no desire whatsoever to tell landscapers or restaurant owners how to run their businesses...

His plan for Portland's Future consists of blindly continuing and expanding the same Ped/bike/rail/density farce that Sam and Rex champion. Big deal. Like we need another clone. What for? To again make sure no independent contrarian gets in and criticices the incompetence?
It's amazing how this city and region is so comnpletely stacked with this one foolish and irresponsible agenda.

Reads like a deodorant ad: Serious, Tireless, Effective: Smith Roll-On!
According the the Oregonian:
"I do, uniquely I think among the people here, couple a background as an activist with the policy knowledge needed to be a commissioner, with the private-sector business background managing in a multibillion-dollar enterprise at Tektronix and Xerox," Chris Smith said.
Managing a multibillion-dollar enterprise? When did they make him CEO?

Play on words,,
managing "in" a multibillion-dollar enterprise
Which could mean managing the paper clips or managing to work there, or managing to undermine the company, or managing to spend work time blogging, or managing to suck up to a real manager or ,,,,

I believe he is a computer tech with no mgmt experience. Then again, they could use someone who knows one thing about computers at the CoP.
Just another wannabe to feed at the public trough and play big with taxpayer money. I wish thes guys would relieve their egos in less expensive places.

I'm experienced, tireless, and effective too. Yet I spent Friday night alone.
*Sigh*

So, those who have parsed his "plan for Portland" - Does he want to trim the fat and repair infrastructure? Give a bit more scent to this deodorant.

The Acropolis?

The Acrop has too much class for these dirtbags...

Take a close look at his smile.
The joke is on you Portland!

Smith is likely sincere, but he just does'nt have a clue when it comes to the bigger picture and good government.
A perfect fit for Portland City Hall.
With more of these clones in office we'll never see any challenges to the circus.

Man, this is funny

I think he uses that same picture for every piece of campaign material.

Michael Moore without the beard or George Constanza with a toupee?

How about Chanel #15 because Chanel #5 was just a guesstimate?
Posted by Bill McDonald | May 10, 2008 9:38 PM
It was Chanel #5 until it was redesigned to suit the aesthetic demands of the neighborhood. Then the price of steel doubled, the dollar tanked, and gas tax revenues declined (all Bush's fault).
Now It's Chanel 58. And it's closed on Sundays. Or if the wind gusts exceed 50 MPH. Or Homer decides furniculars would sell condos better.
