I've been there three times, always in the summer (2000 when I lived there, World cup '06 and World Cup 2010) and the weather was always gorgeous.  So my view is well skewed.

dude.  i'd support this, however you're going to get way more mileage out of a "Only in Portland" thread.

Tweedy's 'Warmer' album is streaming all day online at wilcoworld.  If you didn't get a copy on RSD you'll be able to get one in July.

Didn't they once make a tv show about how weird and quirky Portland is?

wise words
Hurwitz boiled down the sentiment to, “Don’t do stupid deals and think they’re gonna turn out okay.”

It’s interesting to see the progressive left begin to question and minimize the Obama presidency in order to undercut Biden

Really…the right and its reverse-discrimination bull shit

A group of Boston men is planning a "Straight Pride Parade" as a way of mocking "the identity politics of the left."


What a bunch of dicks, I say drone glitter bombing should be in order
This guy said it well

It's official. Boston is going to have a "Straight Pride Parade."

I'm straight. I like being straight. A big reason why I like being straight is that I've never once experienced bigotry for my sexuality. I didn't have to fight for my right to marry the person of my choosing. I didn't have to concern myself with being beaten or killed because others didn't accept who I wanted to sleep with. I didn't have to stay closeted out of fear, or worry about the reaction of my family, friends, or colleagues by coming out.

I never got called a slur for being straight. No one told me I'm going to burn in hell for being straight. There aren't any programs where I could be sent to be tortured into no longer being straight. There aren't any countries where you can be put to death simply for being straight.

There is nothing I ever had to fight for, or struggle against, because I'm straight. And therefore, there isn't any reason to take pride in it. Grateful for the privileges I get? Sure. But pride? I don't see it.

What I do see is that this parade is misnamed. It's not a "Straight Pride Parade." [move]It should be called a "I'm a homophobic piece of shit" parade.[/move]

Ignore them.  It's attention that they want.  Fight any realistic policy changes they seek, ignore their public attention grabbing displays.

it's soo hard, but I do agree
the amount of free press they got over this helped their cause more than hurt it

I blame Trump for letting all these factions feel like they need to say "I bigoted, ignorant and proud of that" want to come out in public
and to some degree, I do think the rest of the public and the media should call them out on their hateful displays of backwards thinking

its the pendulum of Obama presidency
I'll let Andrew WK provide an example

I guess the only silver lining is the pendulum will swing back
