Just what is Portland trying to say to drivers, taxpayers?

Does The City Hate Cars THIS Much?

Doing that in a car can result in charges of Road Rage. Can the city be charged also? ;-)
Victoria: This is way off the subject, but last evening at about 7:45 you aired a sound byte of Charley Rangle answering a question as to whether ML King would approve of Saddam and his two henchmen being hanged. Rangle, in his ever-convoluted manner, called Saddam's hanging a "lynching". I was surprised that you didn't pick up on that. Rangle clearly was a supporter of Saddam, and that came out when he called the execution a "lynching".
Also, shortly after that you were talking about the Rosie-Donald Trump feud. You seemed to think that Barbara Walters is afraid of Trump. I would rather believe that Ms. Walters is afraid of Rosie and her vicious mouth rather than Trump.
Sorry about putting these comments in this blog, but I have been having trouble getting email into your email address.
I wasn't paying full attention to Charlie Rangel but I'll give it another go tonight.
I've still got a shout out to the guy who sent me this picture to ask who put it up or any other info he can give me on it.
To conclude, that calling Saddam's hanging a "lynching"; means that he is a supporter of Saddam, is ridiculous.
His statement may indicate that he has no respect for the Iraq court which tried Saddam. It indicates he does not consider the trial and sentence legitimate; but I just don't see drawing the conclusion that he supported Saddam, from this statement, as a reasonable conclusion.
Wasn't the question more related to if MLK would have approved of what we are doing in Iraq, not specifically of the hanging? As far as the hanging goes, I guess one could ask if Ghandi would have approved just as easily.
Weren't both of these two to the extreme of non-violence, that they would likely be against the death penalty at all?
Weren't both of them anti the violence approach as a solution to a degree far beyond the norm?
This does not make them supporters of those who commit crimes against others.
Personally, I dislike someone saying what someone else 'would have done, or thought" some 40 years after their death. We can only assume what they may have thought, given their previous words.
People change as they mature often as do their attitudes.
Dr. King was against the Viet Nam war, that's a given. But then again, he was also misled as to the number of Blacks dying there, as many still are. Some anti-liberty critics of the time made it appear as if Blacks were deliberately put out in front of white to die first, which isn't true.
We should also recall that he was an Ordained Baptist Minister, a man of deep faith. Who can say that 9-11 and other terrorist acts might not have affected him in the same way it did many others?
Truthfully, we can't factually say one way or the other this far past his death. I don't feel we should even try to to say what someone would today, if they were still alive, to sway opinions to our way of thinking.
Just my thoughts.
Vera Katz put it up, she was standing on Erik S., who was standing on Serena C. It was a sight to see.
I suggest that since Socialist Portland hates cars so much, by flipping the flying fickel finger award on this sign at them, that car drivers get a few copies of this sign and post them on Bike trails and put a few signs around that great "TRAM" and light rail.
Ps But---could this picture be photoshopped???? anybody actually see this sign in person??????
a) photoshopped
b) a joke by someone
c) put there by the leadership of Portland (which seems to be the conclusion of the blog host)
d) Both (a) and (b)
e) None of the above
Someone once told me that the most common multiple choice answer was (c) so if one is completely clueless to pick (c).
I'll double check. I'm in that area a lot.
Turns out, this is part of the same "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" campaign that shut down Boston today - seriously. Check the picture vs. the one on Drudge.
