GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paid. So tip up your cup and throw your hands up, and let me hear the party say... LET'S GO TO PRESS.

It was a bloody weekend in Portland, with gunfire leaving three dead and three wounded in four separate shootings (including a triple shooting at bar in Montavilla).

Here's the latest from last week's Roseburg massacre of 10 people: One of the shooting victims remains in critical condition; Umpqua hero Chris Mintz has a GoFundMe campaign (started by his cousin) which has already raised over $700,000; a petition has been started to award Chris the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and if you want to read some more creepy stuff about the shooter, then there's this.


The owner and customers of a gun shop outside of Roseburg wasn't exactly a fan of President Obama's speech following the Umpqua massacre:

The first thing customers entering the Roseburg Gun Shop see is a life-sized cardboard cutout of President Barack Obama with a Middle Eastern scarf around his head and a badge pinned to his chest that reads: "Gun salesman of the year."

In the wake of the Umpqua massacre, Hillary Clinton comes out strong for gun control:

...as a nation we can no longer allow guns to fall into the hands of domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and the seriously mentally ill. It is a rebuke to the families that have lost loved ones, to the communities that are plagued by gun violence, and to this nation that we love.”

Massive floods hit the east coast, killing eight in South Carolina.

A Doctors Without Borders hospital was accidentally hit by a US airstrike in Afghanistan—and people are not happy.

Republican presidential wannabe Carly Fiorina is making quite a name for herself telling blatant and discounted lies about Planned Parenthood.

Following Sunday's Jaguars-Colts game, female journalists were stopped from going into the locker room, because they were women. Welcome back to 1978.

If you haven't noticed those saucy American Apparel ads on the back of the Mercury lately, there's a reason for that: The company has filed for bankruptcy.

Now let's take a look at this WEATHER situation: Sunny and a high of 82 today, but clouds roll in tomorrow.

And finally, it's an adorable puppy vs. an inflatable Minion! WHO... DO... YOU... GOT?!?
