News Good Morning, News!!

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Wearing His Patented Erase-a-Jew Specs...Say, there are no Jews with them on! he said.
  • Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Wearing His Patented "Erase-a-Jew" Specs..."Say, there are no Jews with them on!" he said.
ENRICH THIS!!! Iran steps up its uranium program—Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wears some scary glasses.

SUPERBOWL AD KERFUFFLE!!! No, no...the other one. The "green police" one for the new Audi. Hey, speaking of green police...

TOYOTA RECALLS 437,000 PRIUSES!!! Boner.

JONATHAN MAUS GETS SNIPPY!!! Railing against mainstream media for pointing out that the City of Portland's new bike plan will cost $600million to build. He points out that nobody ever said it was going to get funding, although how this undercuts the central tenet of the O or the Trib's pieces on the issue, I'm not sure. Semantics! Hey, speaking of OPB-loving Subaru liberals who can't take a joke...

WYDEN AND KENNEDY MADE A SEXIST AD!!! Get over it, people. It's better than that god-awful mini-series. Still: "By “raging post-game controversy” we mean “people who don’t want to do real work talking about things they will forget tomorrow,” but perhaps that’s a given," confesses Aaron Mesh. He's a smarty.

ANDY RODDICK'S WIFE!!! Will be the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl. Go, misogyny!

SAM ADAMS SUPPORTS BANNING PLASTIC BAGS!!! Ah, who gives a fuck?

COSMETICS MUST BE CONSERVATIVE AND IN GOOD TASTE!!! Bojack digs up the grooming code for the fire bureau. We'll hereby be testing Fire Commissioner Randy Leonard's assessment of good taste in cosmetics later this week.

WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING SHUT!!! Blaming "faulty elevator."

HITLER REALLY WANTS YOU TO SEE IT!!! The movie could be awful, but this meme never gets old:

THE PROP 8 JUDGE IS GAY!!! Priming the appeal pump for conservatives, says Gawker.

Good day.

Maus points out that this is just a framework for moving forward with bike transportation. $600 mil. is a pipe dream and willl more than likely never reach this amount. This is just a best case scenario plan (if you're into cycling that is). The O and Trib's biggest complaint is that it's expensive. They don't not however state that it's expensive compared to what, one mile of urban freeway?

Actually, the move "Downfall" is excellent. Best portrayal of Hitler in the bunker and the fall of Berlin I've ever seen. It's so good, you don't even notice that you are reading subtitles.
