Oregon’s discovering it isn’t easy being green.
With projected costs for the subsidies to reach $290 million this year, the Oregon legislature’s looking at the long, hard road in front of it – do they cut the subsidies that are hurting the state budget at a time when other areas need help, or do they continue subsidizing this up-and-coming industry in hopes that the green industry brings much-needed jobs to our beleaguered state?
Portland loves Apple’s iPods, iPhones, iPads and it shows.

Two sides agree in education? Never say never.

Portland’s airport: right on-time… most of the time.
We applaud Portland’s Airport – we think they’re swell and truly one of the best airports we’ve visited. That being said, Portland came in first by having only 86.02% of its flights leave on time. The average airport has 75.29% of its flights leave on-time meaning one in four flights leave late!!
Crazy as a … tiger?
Okay, we must admit – seeing U.S. Representative David Wu dressed in a tiger costume threw us back a little, but it also made us think; wouldn’t the world be a little better if all of Congress wore its crazy on the outside?
Footloose and Fragrance-free
Big Bertha wore enough of Paris Hilton’s “Just Me” to suffocate several elephants.
