Oregon State and the University of Oregon Football Bye Week
Paulie Brading
and other reflections after the Democratic Party of Oregon Summit in Sunriver.
- Superhuman planning to hold the Summit on weekend without Oregon and Oregon State Pac 10 football
- Steve Novick's hilarious 3 act play to open the Special Election: January Tax Referrals Workshop
- Kitzhaber's staff in their matching tee shirts and their endless stacks of signs and stickers
- Selling Earl Blumenauer's bowtie at lunch
- Chatting with a staffer from an unnamed campaign who was still out partying at 4:00 am who tried to engage in a not so coherent conversation about redistricting at 7:15 am at the coffee bar
- Deconstructing the Saturday lunch of white bread, roast beef and slimy purple cabbage
- Sen. President Peter Coutney scewing nearly every member of the majority party in the House and Senate in his hilarious wake up breakfast speech
- House Majority Leader Rep. Mary Nolan's verbal high five to Lynn Howe running for State Rep. in Medford
- Rep. Brent Barton stuck in his room working on a law case
- Senator Jeff Merkley's breakfast with the Jackson County Democrats before returning to D.C.
- Basic Rights Oregon's strong presence
- Saving the planet, health care reform, education budget, Oregon's workforce ready for recovery, and green initiatives in rural Oregon
- Three candidates for governor meeting side-by side for the first time very very carefully not rolling out any specifics
- Gossip, gossip and more gossip
See you at the Summit in 2011 and KUDOS to the DPO Summit planning committee!

I hope that was Senator Courtney skewering the early morning crowd with his breakfast speech!
Coutney scewing?

I decided not to include a critique in my post, but the food this weekend was skimpy and that lunch was awful. I actually took a look at that sandwich and left the lunch to find suitable food.

Scewing? I'm already freaked out enough by all the policies the Democrats are continuing from President Bush. Please don't start making up words, too.

Sat lunch, what the hell was that? Stale white bread and that awful unnamed crap parked on the roast beef. The DPO ought to get their money back... Or tell everybody next time to just do potluck...

Bill, the problem isn't making up words, it's making up bad words. Some of my favorite words are made up. In fact, aren't all words made up words?

Skew is the 3rd moment about the mean, a measure of central tendency. Just sum the cubed deviations from the mean. Both parties are cubed specialists.

We don't discuss facts on topical posts, particularly if they're against the flow of play. Besides, if you don't have cable, your opinion is worthless. Unless you're homeless, then it's a cause. Have a home and don't subscribe?!? Be thankful that isn't yet grounds for a DHS intervention.
We're talking about people that watch American football. You couldn't get a consensus on "are kiwis birds"! They watch commercials for a tidbit of sport. Not the highbrains needed for the teaching machines.
