    The local independent extremely left leaning Eugene Weekly has just been bought out by Pat Robertsons son I believe and a Breitbart affiliate...they are buying up independent periodicals across the country...new cover says they are removing the stink from the Eugene Weekly....I read it for concert info mostly and there is a lot of crap in the rag but it makes great kindling......just never thought I'd see it taken over by a far right leaning organization ...I was shocked to read the cover story.

    Yet another reason we need to find any way possible to rid the White House of that evil madman ASAP.

    I could watch that.

    Wouldn't know what to do with it, but something deeply buried in my past says it's good.

    I feel like this country really needs some entity to set matters straight. Ministry of Truth has a nice ring to it. Hopefully Sinclair's strategy is just one step in the right direction.

    I think you both need to reread what I wrote because that's not even remotely what I said.

    Think on the word "tangible," meditate on it, and then get back to me.

    That attitude of unearned arrogance and millennial's intellectual laziness is why the world is still run by people my age and older.

    Racism is also why the world is run by people your age and older (and guess what? I'm not a millennial).

    Your generation taught the millennials. Any lack of education and/or intellectual laziness is a byproduct of your generation's failure to impart wisdom. Your generation also ran the economy into the ground and destroyed the country..... which is why you guys can't retire and are still occupying the best jobs.

    Ouch.

    Though it wasn't the baby boomers who raised the millenials. It was generation X. My generation.

    umm, this sure isn't a new thing. Hell, Gene Autry oned several TV stations and lot of radio station here on the West Coast.
    Including KEX in Portland and during the 1st years of the Blazers when that station served as the flagship of Blazer Broacasting.

    You know Lanny. That sounds so fucking evil. Elections is the way we do it.

    @SlyPokerDog Isn't KATU that the team that got lippy during last year's 3-on-3 tournament?

    These guys are going to get stomped this year.

    That’s about as relevant as me (or anyone else) saying that maybe the problem is that the millenials are just simply shitty listeners.....Care to try again?
