Busy as a big dog, but had to post these before I get on the air at 5pm.
1. The Tolerance Crowd at the Gay Rights Lobbying Establishment have announced their intentions of displaying the names and personal information of all Oregonians who have signed petitions to revoke gay “marriage” in Oregon.
The tolerance crowd apparently doesn’t like it when you don’t tolerate their proclivities (and apparently their politics) and will immediately ‘go to guns’ by “outing” the family friendly folks who signed petitions. They’ll do it here (according to the Mercury here). I’ve got emails into the folks who run the site and will let you know if I hear back. I’ve asked the organizers to come on the show.
Here’s what I got back from the “news” service that “reported” the story:
Thank you for your email.
You can get more info from Basic Rights Oregon, and KnowThyNeighbor.org.

If you want to sign the petitions, get the language of the measure here and here.

2.The other ‘off the rails’ issue is the Bike Tolerance Crowd. Some of their number are urging their members to take back the streets from cars. How long do you suppose before we’ll have bike bombers taking out cars, SUV’s, and trucks on Portland streets?
One poster on the Bike Portland website says:

I’m not sure if it’s a direct response to Friday’s incident, but the paint looked fresh and I don’t recall seeing it before then.
It has sparked some interesting discussion on the Shift Email List.
