You're right. I better run down and get some rich parents and some mustache wax, quick. Hopefully nobody smashes the windows out of my artisan cupcake store, but if they do, that's ok.
It's not hiding from all this horrible stuff that you need to do it's go to where there's greener pasture, you know, a nice red state where government is run more efficiently.
You don't think Atiyeh did a decent job guiding the state through the recession in the 80's?
As usual, here's another thing you've got bass ackwards.
Why should anyone hate Southern Oregon? I've got two buddies from there, Coos Bay to be exact.
Actually (at least as I remember it) Atiyeh (who was a very nice guy) led us into the recession. I went to work in Salem in 1985 and I remember thinking, “will the last person to leave please turn out the lights?” Atiyeh also bears a large share of the responsibility for some of the more egregious PERS issues we are dealing with today (though I am personally grateful for what PERS I do draw today, despite it significantly reduced via the “reforms” of the past 15 years). Atiyeh was a good person and a heckuva business man but not a particularly effective Governor. But then, neither were the line of Democrats who succeeded him......
I can’t help but get the feeling that you are “whistling past the graveyard”.........As @jonnyboy was alluding to, Trump didn’t “stand a chance in hell” and we all know how that turned out. Never say never. This former Democrat (now Independent) is chomping at the bit to vote for Buehler. Kate Brown is Hillary Lite.....and just as shitty of a choice.....
I used to live in New Jersey. Awfully cold in the winter but the spring and summer were fabulous. Loved the board walk along the beach. I suppose the boardwalk is gone now due to the storms.
I would say whoever produces the most votes will produce the governor. Would you have it any other way?
nope
So, a vote in a sparsely populated county is more important than other votes?
Right? Yes, right, exactly right.
Lanny Boardwalks are here and thriving. My wife and I bought her dream beach house last year in Seaside. What a deal ! A town house in a condo association for only 170. For all the food and beer I consume we walk it off on the board walk or at the bay. I'm here now doing this and listening to Dire Straits and the Ojays. Have a good weekend Bro Pizza or Tomato pie is supreme in NY/NJ!
Wait a minute, we've got a Seaside, Oregon. My brother used to live there. They've got a turnaround right next to the Beach that's supposed to be where Lewis and Clark arrived. Really comes alive in the Summer. Great place for Beach Volleyball. When I was a toddler they used to catch Dungeness crab in the surf, make a bon fire out of driftwood and place a giant pot on it, cook crab, and offer it to anyone walking by. That included me and my mother and father.
