Terrific column...nice to know the free press is still alive in Oregon.

Of course, the cover for this little bit of corruption was a program specifically directed at "blacks," which is the giveaway for other payoffs.

Not to worry: the machine will quickly shift to other boo-hoo pitches; Oregon voters will continue to be dumb enough to buy them.
