OCCUPY MASK

By Art Hyland

THIS HEADLINE AND ITS LIST OF FACTS HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS ON THE INTERNET FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS.  I CANNOT FIND ITS ORIGINAL SOURCE.  IT HAS NOW BECOME A GENERIC UNDERSTANDING BY THE OCCUPY WALL STREET CROWD.

AND THEY’RE OKAY WITH IT.

Body count: In the last six months 500

In Defense of going over the Cliff

Neville Chamberlain

By Larry Leonard

November 28, 2012 — Not that — based on the recent election — legions of American socialists pay much attention to what we have to say, but here it is, anyway. After much reflection on the subject of the economy our financial experts (two great pool shooters at the local cowboy whiskey

Oregon Awash With Craft Beer Producers

Beer in glasses

Decanting with Delkin

By Fred Delkin

The United States will never challenge Germany, Belgium or the Czech Republic as a national standard-bearer for beer quality, since our major brewers pump out an overwhelming quantity of nationally advertised sour soda water…yes, we mean you, Anheuser Busch, SABMiller and Coors! Yet, state by

Women in Combat: Felony Stupid

Marines Leave no Man behind

By Matt Barber

The term “moronic” is defined as “notably stupid or lacking in good judgment.” It is frequently used as an insult.

The Obama administration is moronic.

This is not an insult.

President Obama’s latest “notably stupid” stoke of America’s calculated slow burn is the decision to lift the ban on women

Dreams From Our Fathers: Obama Resigns

World War 2 end celebration

By Art Hyland

Although wars have produced marvelous inventions by which to win battles, technical, mechanical and human progress expands exponentially when given the freedoms brought about by the maintenance of peace through strength. Peace provides this success only when it is felt to be reasonably long in expected duration.  Although tyranny can

Bloody Hands: The Southern Poverty Law Center

By Matt Barber

Long before homosexual activist Floyd Corkins entered the D.C.-based Family Research Council (FRC) with the intent to commit mass murder, I warned from the rooftops that the hard-left Southern Poverty Law Center’s anti-Christian “hate group” propaganda might spur such bloodshed. With a column headlined, “Liberal violence rising,” I wrote, “The

Will Boy Scouts Commit Gay-Activist-Assisted Suicide?

Boy Scouts insignia

By Matt Barber

In coming days the Boy Scouts of America will decide whether to violate – eliminate, really – its own mission statement, oath and law by changing its policy to allow, within its ranks, Scouts and Scoutmasters who are open practitioners of the homosexual lifestyle. Sadly, to do so would destroy

‘All Life is Not Equal’

First, on a personal note: Thank you, thank you and thank you, Mary Elizabeth Williams! What a glorious service you’ve done

Obama is Sinking America

sinking ship

By Matt Barber

Although it certainly wasn’t Oscar material, I still love the 1989 film “Erik the Viking,” starring, among others, Tim Robbins, Mickey Rooney, Eartha Kitt and John Cleese. It’s a campy British comedy-fantasy about a band of misfit Vikings on a quest to reach Valhalla.  In one scene, the motley mob

Goodbye Chip, Your Heritage Remains, Alive and Well!

Chip Kelly

By Fred Delkin

Oregon football impresario Chip Kelly just couldn’t resist taking his skills to football’s highest level. Obviously, the Philadelphia NFL franchise owners gave Chip more than money. Methinks they’ve given him total control in hiring & firing personnel to implement his radical offense. Only New England coach Bill Belichick has tried

By Larry Leonard

January 14, 2013, about 9:20 A.M, Pacific Time — It is the worst of times as I await the downpour from the storm clouds reaching from Salem, Oregon to Washington, D.C.  The mouth of the Columbia River is here, and the current mouthpiece of the nation is over there in Foggy Bottom.

Behind Harry Reid: Les Irresponsibles

Harry Reid

By Art Hyland

One wonders. Well, I wonder, anyway. Did Mr.Harry Reid buy any Christmas gifts this past season? Has Mr. Reid reviewed his own bank accounts, wherever they are, decided to make any new investments recently, or perhaps reviewed any trusts he or his family have established? Do you suppose he compared

Christmas first

It’s Christmas Eve day. As you stand before the bubbled display case, you gaze, mouth watering, upon the vibrant collection of baked delicacies. You covet the sugar-varnished delights. You admire the skill and creativity behind each work of culinary art, carefully prepared to please both eye and palate. “What a gifted

Columbia Gorge QuietlyProduces Aerial Drones

Drone Insitu

By Fred Delkin

The Columbia Gorge has a global reputation for spectacular scenery, windsurfing, fruit orchards and premium vineyards. We recently learned of another, quietly pursued activity on both sides of the Gorge. A pair of Stanford University aeronautical engineering graduates have made this site a hub of aerial drone research and activity with worldwide
