News Good Morning News!

Cap Yo Ass: The gigantic cap-and-trade climate change bill clears some major hurdles in the House.

Will Dick Cheney Ever Shut Up? He's not in office anymore, but America's #1 sleazebag is still getting people to listen to him on television. Luckily, attentive viewers help us list his lies on torture and terrorism.

And Why Do Democrats Agree With Him? seriously.

The End of Malls: Maybe this recession is good for something after all.

Chillin' in Tiananmen Square: Today's hip, Puma-wearing Chinese youth are happy with the government and don't care what sort of crazy protest happened twenty years ago.

Human Mules: Not Just for Coke! Travelers smuggle milk and canned meat to Cuba.

Votes for Beavers? Dan Saltzman is the swing vote on whether to build a baseball stadium in Lents - and he's "concerned" about the deal.

Car vs. Car: This summer's transportation WAR IS ON!

Bus Parade Today! Let's hope some too-friendly North Portland mascots show up for the parade down the new transit mall.

Dick Cheney is the bomb, mainly because he causes such head-explosion in liberals. You all just can't handle someone making the case for enhanced interrogation in calm, reasoned logic. Which, I might add, a clear majority of the public agrees with. I wouldn't expect recognition of that fact from these "journalists," but that doesn't make it any less true.

Mr. V - I think you mean "a clear majority of a largely-misinformed public agrees with." I've seen torture work! http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/02…

Hey Mr. Voluptuous- its called torture, "enhanced interrogation" is cheney speak and is illegal. Most americans do not support torture and if it works so well then why is the boogeyman bin laden still on the loose? what are you so afraid of? is it not obvious to you that lord cheney needs to keep you in fear to control you? if you are so willing torture why are you sitting on your computer in portland instead of in the middle east fighting the "war on (t)error?"

A wise man once said that if it's just enhanced interrogation, why don't the police use it to catch criminals.
