– The announcement for the pro- $60 car tab campaign’s kickoff.

– It’s not really taking a 3% pay cut if you’re just voluntarily giving it to charity.

– Yes, friends: I invite you to discuss the mighty works of Professor Feminism. But please, in our comments, refer to him by his title. Or, “Zhoxor the Destroyer.” If you prefer a manlier alternative.

– Today in movies I’m not going to see.

– Any can’t misses at Bumbershoot this year?

– I’m sort of goofy about college football. I certainly prefer the pros. And oh the corruption. Still, I’m sure I’ll watch a fair amount of it once it’s on. I love the tradition, and their upsets are more thrilling than anything in any professional sport. Still, even if it makes business sense, I think there has to be a way to reign in Oregon’s uniforms.

    I’ll pay $20, but I won’t pay $60. This started out as a $20 car tab fee to keep Metro bus service from being cut on dozens of routes. I’m for that. But by the time it gets to the ballot it’s a Christmas tree that costs car owners three times as much. I won’t vote for that.

    – It’s not really taking a 3% pay cut if you’re just voluntarily giving it to charity.

    And it’s not entirely charity when you’re taking a charitable deduction on your income taxes.

    How can you not love a college team whose place kicker is a 61-year-old Vietnam veteran?

    And it’s not really taking a 3% paycut if you’re not giving an extra 3% to charity, over and above what you normally give. John Ahern won’t even commit to that — I talked with him and got mad enough at him to send a note to the Spokesman writer, who took it from there.

    “I think there has to be a way to reign in Oregon’s uniforms.”

    By regulating them, of course! One-size-fits-all mortgages — 30-year fixed-rate — were good enough for our fathers and grandfathers. Look what trouble designer mortgages got us into! The FTC should make the Ducks wear the same uniforms as everyone else.

    I think it’s quite amusing that I’m seeing banner ads for Rob McKenna on this site.

    Bumbershoot? Are you kidding? No!

    Anyone willing to pay those prices should take a look at my styrofoam cup collection. I’ll be putting it up on eBay soon. Starting bid is $400.
