I suppose Russia is the only country w/ that kind of cash lying around anymore, eh?

Farmer K does great work, and is a real pioneer in "the Next Big Thing" in Oregon agriculture. You can visit him, us (the Sellwood Garden Club) and all the SE Urban Farmers to buy produce and your whatnots every Sunday from 3-7 at the new Hawthorne Urban Farmers' Market on 43rd, next to the Common Grounds Coffeehouse, in the car repair lot. It's gonna be ultra-local and super-RAD.

Shell Settles Nigeria Case - WSJ.com

You know what, I don't like this, and am horrified that it's even in the "business" section. Is that really all a hero's life is worth? Shell killed this man and bought folks off yet again. Also, the person who discovered the page is wrong by a factor of 1,000 -- that's million, not billion. A million dollars is nothing to these people, yo.

I think it's time to change gas stations, but I can't believe the other ones are any better.

You'd better believe those holes are being filled up in the same urban neighbourhoods where obesity and "food deserts" are a critical problem. Cuz, rich folks pay the kind of property taxes that keep streets from falling into such disrepair. Oh, the things people will do for money, governments included.

I'd rather they were giving out blow jobs at City Hall. Once again, Portland is ahead of the curve.

I told you food was going to be cool -- cool enough to totally imitate.

Michele Bachmann: I Want People "Armed And Dangerous" Over Obama Tax Plan

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:01:09 -0700

Bachmann is the patron saint of nutbags -- I continue to be shocked that Minnesota created this piece of work.

But, this shit is downright treasonous for a public official to say on the public airwaves.

Protect Seals 2009 | The Humane Society of the United States

You know, the massive lack of people buying any sort of luxury goods made me think they might call the baby seal hunt off this year -- Shame the fuck on you Canada!

A word of warning -- don't watch the video unless you're in the mood to cry -- it's goddamn horiffic and the sort that has been known to keep Matt from sleep.

This site makes my mind hurt and the guy is full of hippie bullshit -- he was actually selling stinging nettles for $4 per -- what a jerk.

Pics and explanations about urban farming in Portland, Oregon as told by the Sellwood Garden Club, or as I'm really still thinking about renaming it next year, SE Garden Club -- more apt, really.

Anyhow, this is my farm. We are getting ready to plant stuff up for sale to local restaurants, such as Tanuki, an Izakaya (a Japanese bar w/ little plates of good, seasonal food) who has an incredible happy hour from 4-6pm that the OLCC doesn't let them tell anyone about. It's a strange organization, but I digress....

I'm farming full-time now and it's truly wonderful -- I feel this sort of light freedom, despite all the challenges. As Matt sez, I'm finally doing what I'm supposed to.
