seiferguy posted:I lived in Tacoma for several years. The early 90s stereotype of Tacoma being a gang-haven with murders galore is highly exaggerated. In the past 10 years they've cleaned up downtown and the gang activity has dwindled. Portland Ave and South Tacoma Way are still a little sketchy, however. Oh yeah I realize Tacoma isn't ACTUALLY very bad these days, I was just joking that people are so against saying good things about Tacoma that unless you actually live in Tacoma one's neighbors would react to getting news from the News Tribune with violence.

IIRC Art Robinson is currently the chairman of the Oregon Republican Party. I hope that never changes.

The CEO of the company that caters Safeco Field was shown abusing a dog in an elevator in a Vancouver, BC hotel back in July. Part of his defense was that it wasn't his dog, but that appears to be a lie. Happy National Dog Day!

I honest believe "abuses dogs" is an absolute and universal measure for a person being an absolute piece of poo poo. Like it's all you need to know about a person, 100% safe to totally judge them entirely on that alone.

You can measure a woman the same way, that's just the saying as I know it.

When I google 'Oregon Republican Party chairman' one of the first search results is this: quote:"All we need do with nuclear waste is dilute it to a low radiation level and sprinkle it over the ocean—or even over America after hormesis is better understood and verified with respect to more diseases." And: "If we could use it to enhance our own drinking water here in Oregon, where background radiation is low, it would hormetically enhance our resistance to degenerative diseases. Alas, this would be against the law."

The Department of Energy (DOE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); and the radioactive metal processing industry are pushing for new regulations that would relax current standards and dispense with the need for special radioactive recycling licensing. By one estimate, the DOE disposed of 7,500 tons of these troublesome metals in 1996 alone. The new standard being sought would allow companies to recycle millions of tons of low-level radioactive metal a year while raising the acceptable levels of millirems (mrems), a unit of measure that estimates the damage radiation does to human tissue. By the NRC’s own estimate, the proposed standards could cause 100,000 cancer fatalities in the United States alone. (This was not recent, this was the 90s.)

Fer gently caress's sake - it's depressing that they aren't a parody. "I can't think of a problem in society that can't be traced in some way back to the abuses of organized labor, and it would be hypocritical of us to take a day off on its behalf." Yes, clearly organized labor is the problem, and not decades of neoliberal economics gutting the middle class and concentrating wealth in the hands of a hypercapitalist plutocracy.

I think this article covers a lot of the origins of modern libertarianism - corporations. http://www.alternet.org/visions/true-history-libertarianism-america-phony-ideology-promote-corporate-agenda The fact that what passes for "logic" and "argument" amongst libertarians sounds like bad religious apologetics is not a coincidence, but almost certainly deliberate.

A conservative statement that amounts to "We are being disruptive and not considering the consequences. If this harms you, we don't care. Thanks Obama!" is too good to not get a little attention.
