MySpace Photos of Oregon Mayor Causing Stir in Arlington.

It is the "Home of the Honkers" and it is hard to miss the irony. A scantily clad image of the city of Arlington, Oregon's mayor is making the rounds on the Web today after news agencies lifted the image from her public MySpace page. Arlington, Oregon's Mayor Carmen Kontur Gronquist did what many people do in the new Millennium; she posted images of herself on MySpace wearing lingerie. Maybe posing on a city fire vehicle was pushing it a bit, but then I lived in Las Vegas for five years where calendars feature the city's "sexiest firefighters."

Twenty-two years ago, Congress put sanity up for a vote. Sanity lost in the House, 420-1. It lost in the Senate, 98-0. Barbara Lee’s lone vote for sanity remains a tiny light of courageous hope flickering in a chaotic world.

O Little Town in Occupied Territory.

What people might not know is that the city of Bethlehem today is not in Israel but in Palestine, and that it is a bustling city with 28,000 people. One third of them are Palestinian Christians. 

When Christians today sing “O little town of Bethlehem” they seldom think of the real city with the real people.

Missouri Senator Schaaf: 'If they overdose and kill themselves, it just removes them from the gene pool'.

I have written articles for Salem-News.com referencing "Flamingo Road" -- the pipeline of prescription drugs that travels up the east coast from Florida to the New England states. Florida has been vigorously closing "pill mills" in an effort to stem the prescription drug epidemic in their state.

A Preference for Prohibition Lies.

So, I'm curious. All you Oregon voters who voted against Measure 74, the medical cannabis dispensary bill... what is it you want from us cannabists? (And this goes for you voters across the nation that still will not support cannabis bills in any form...) Lord knows we try.
