July 4, 2015 by

Do NBA players leave Portland for cities with hotter women? The idea of Portland being such a small market that it can’t attract top tier NBA free agents is a laugh. Not so much the notion that Portland can’t support the needs of top tier NBA guys. As a long time married man, twenty nine […]

KITZHABER: The Movie

March 13, 2015 by

Casting For Kitzhaber. Recent developments in the former Oregon governor’s life scream for justice. And a movie.

March 31, 2014 by

Why Ben Affleck Matters More To Batman. Baby boomers met Batman up close and personal. He wasn’t the first super hero, but he seemed the most like us.

GWYNETH PALTROW SAVES BABY BOOMER DATING

March 26, 2014 by
