Politics in Oregon

Total mess.

Wikipedia says, “[f]or most of its existence, Oregon was the most consistently Republican west coast state. Between 1860 and 1984, the state voted Democratic just six times, in 1868, 1912, 1936, 1940, and 1964.”

Vic Atiyeh, 32^nd Governor of Oregon. Good man.

Rene Gonzalez, Portland City Commissioner

Patrick J. Buchanan

Ben Settle

Nick Peets – “The Sultan of Rose City Swing”

Portland Trail Blazers

Lillard scores 71!

I guess Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell also scored 71 this year, so whatever I said on the show about the exclusive club of 71+ point scorers in NBA history was probably incorrect, but I am not going to do much more research on it because this has been the highlight of the NBA for me over the last 5 years or so. Sad.
