Politics "Earl Blumenauer Wants to Kill You..."
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 4:09 PM
"... with comedy!"
Yes, that was the headline of the press release we received from Earl's office hyping his upcoming stand up comedy night.
Apparently Oregon's Congressional representative hosts an annual comedy night, sharing the stage with other local politicians. But this year's event this Monday November 9th at the Tiffany Center downtown will have an extra bitter tinge to it, what with all the death panel hysteria around Earl's end-of-life care policy.
If you're one of those two or three people with 100 extra dollars lying around, it might be worth throwing them toward a ticket for three reasons:
1. David Bragdon will be doing stand up comedy.
2. Lynn Peterson will be doing stand up comedy.
3. None of the "jokes" are vetted.
"It will either be really really funny or it will be disastrously unfunny," says Blumenauer's spokesman Willie Smith.
- Matt Davis
- This is supposed to be Earl with killer lasers coming out of his eyes.

Don't forgot we will also have State Sen. Rick Metzger, Metro Councilor Robert Liberty, and Senator Gordon Smith's Former State Director, Bob Dole's ghostwriter, and 4-time Jeopardy champion Kerry Tymchuk (who is REALLY funny).
Need Scooter Service?
We sell and repair scooters, and have a full service department specializing in Chinese brand scooters; we work on all brands of scooters, however.
