Char-Lie hires a flack
And in refreshing change from the current mindless regime at Portland City Hall, it's somebody with meaningful experience at something. But let's hope he's good a twisting language, because his new boss is one of the great double-talkers of all time.

He specializes in writing fiction. Sounds like he'll fit right in.

"It was a blast to be able to write fiction full-time," Haynes says. "But I'm looking forward to working for Charlie."
The jokes write themselves.

Yeah, Sally. The irony there is scary.

We need a new countdown clock!

Yeah. With Time Zone: Never-Never Land.

Well pessimists, I prefer believing that Charlie has received the voter's message and will chose to not follow the idiotic path that Sam Adams put Portland on. I give everyone a chance.

At long last; by the count down clock we are beginning the last 12 days of Creepy's administration....a truly Happy New Year awaits.

I just LOVE the way the web leaves your tracks in the snow. Type: "Dana Haynes" in the "O"'s search window and see what you get:
"Dana Haynes leaves PCC and journalism behind to write thrillers
Published: Sunday, November 20, 2011, 6:13 PM"
" Dana Haynes wins award for best mystery novel by a Northwest ...Mar 15, 2011"
Well writing FICTION will come in handy in the new gig, I guess.
