News Good Morning, News!!

Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 8:33 AM

MONEY GAP COULD SCUPPER SOCCER DEAL!!! Oh, good. Reporters Larabee, Jung and Frank try to figure out where the $26.8m gap might be filled in this morning's O. Governor's spokesman says it's "not a priority" while state representatives say "Grandma's getting kicked out of the nursing home, but we're going to do this." So many gems. It's a pleasure to read.

AND THIS SCARF SAYS: "I'VE GOT NO IDEA WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM..."

SARKOZY'S TANTRUM!!! The French premier threatens to walk from the G20 summit if his plan for tighter financial regulation isn't adopted.

OPRAH'S SCHOOL: LESBIAN LIAISONS!!! Seven students are suspended for sexual harassment at her South African school. According to the Daily News: One 15-year-old was accused of preying on another pupil,” while “[o]ther girls were caught fondling each other or trying to get other girls to join them in lesbian liaisons.”

CLINTON: BILLIONS WASTED IN AFGHANISTAN!!! Also, we've dropped the phrase 'war on terror', she says.

'TIS NOBLER IN THE MIND!!! Christian Camargo was "born to play the role," says the New York Times.

SUN TIMES FILES BANKRUPTCY!!! "But it's not the end of the paper, per say," writes an equally competent blogger at the Daily Beast, who perhaps needs to visit Thomas Keller's restaurant. And yesterday, THIS happened. What hope is there?

Good day.

I'm just saying it's an interesting idea for the future of journalism.

Maybe the timbers army will hold a bake sale to get the 26 mil? Hey, maybe they'll donate the money themselves!

Adams and Lenny got saavy. They vote for something they know ain't gonna happen. But the smartest of them all, Danny boy.

Maybe Morley Capital can come back to fund the stadium and request it be called "Fabio Field." "Sometimes.....there's no place I'd rather be....than on a tropical island..."

Is there anything still out there about alternatives to Merritt's plan? Namely the Blazer's proposals, the suggestion to build it on the old PPS building up the street on Interstate and to build it on the river via landfill across the street from Memorial Coliseum potentially near a new high-speed rail station..
