Sunset Transit Center's 'Bike and Ride' is a lonely cage | OregonLive.com: "After eight months, the bike-and-ride averages 1.2 bicycles a day, according to TriMet records of users swiping prepaid cards to access the locked facility.

'Was it worth it?' said TriMet bike program czar Colin Maher. 'If at least eight bikes a day use it, yes. '

Yet there hasn't been a day when eight bicycles have been parked inside. Seven has been the most that have shown up -- and that was just one day (last Wednesday"

"The danger when one paints the world in such conspiratorial terms is that it devalues the rational side of politics. It encourages a cast of mind that looks to expose enemies rather than to engage in arguments. Few things, after all, are as they appear."

"In my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should 'have his head examined,' as Gen. MacArthur so delicately put it," Gates said.

Miniprotests Home Page

Can't get 6,000 of your buddies to protest? Well check out this neat site that's got great ideas for mini protests. Kinda like the old BurmaShave signs concept. Picked this up via The Mike Malloy Show.

Working people

  It's not just a war on the middle class but on all working people.More lower paying jobs have been created. Our good jobs have been outsourced. Wall St. robbed us without a gun. War criminals are loose in our country. Right wing jack asses threaten the president.The time has more then come to win our fight. We must organize like them. We must protest their leaders as they do ours. We need to invade their web sites, call their lackey talk show hosts and in general make it hard for them to function.  We shall overcome and we will win. It's a war my friends. Arm yourself with the truth!

Thousands Continue Wisconsin Action for Workers’ Rights | AFL-CIO NOW BLOG

Thousands Continue Wisconsin Action for Workers’ Rights | AFL-CIO NOW BLOG: "I think it’s very important for us to understand that public employees, they’re our neighbors, they’re our friends. These are folks who are teachers and they’re firefighters and they’re social workers and they’re police officers. They make a lot of sacrifices and make a big contribution. And I think it’s important not to vilify them or to suggest that somehow all these budget problems are due to public employees."

BikePortland.org » Blog Archive » TriMet considers 'sonic bike path' idea for new bridge: "The 'sonic bike path' concept is still in its early stages, but at this point, the idea is to create a series of grooves on a 150 foot section of the bikeway on each end of the bridge. The grooves would be placed in such a frequency and depth that a melody would be emitted as bicycle tires rolled over them. As for the song, the artists are considering Simon and Garfunkel's 'Feelin' Groovy.'"

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

Daily Kos: State of the Nation: "None of this is particularly surprising, but I guess I'm at a loss to understand just who in the hell the 15 percent of teahadists are who want to either keep the health care bill as it is or want to strengthen it? And it's surprising that nearly 40 percent of conservatives and one-third of Republicans don't want to nuke the bill completely.

Perhaps those numbers are why Republicans aren't willing to have a knock-down drag-out fight over defunding health care reform?"
