While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I’m a naysayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence.
I am so fucking fed up with these “local historic preservationists and neighborhood advocates.” When they aren’t blocking housing development like the entitled NIMBYs that they are, they’re leaving us strapped with pointless money pits like Memorial Coliseum. Everyone needs to ignore these clowns.

Indeed. ❤️ my Senator (most of the time. Yeah, he has positions that I oppose, c.f., Israel/Palestine). Between this and his excellent work on privacy rights, he’s one of the only olds that I’d like to remain in the Senate…for now. Can’t really say the same about Merkley, who is just kind of there.
