    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Nuclear pipe bomb. We've always feared that possibility.

    Police are saying this is the bomb crater

    Looks more like erosion to me. Shouldn't there be dirt that was expelled from the hole be below it?

    Shouldn't someone more qualified like the ATF be investigating instead of a cop crawling around on his hands and knees. This could be terrorists trying to get their formula right.

    Can we round up all of these insane professional protestors and dump them somewhere far, far away?

    Creating spokes councils to coordinate with other affinity groups (who you know and trust) also encourage more successful actions.

    KATU just had a witness report of 800 men in flowing arabic gowns and turbans marching into the city limits behind armed jeeps.

    I always thought it was Irvington.

    strange thing, if you do a google search for it, it shows up. But on the page it shows up, it says this.

    And the "Irvington Park" is a link...to this website.

    http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=195&action=ViewPark

    sounds like Portland parks is a little confused too.
