Generally by the time I get home from work, there are already a dozen pages of comments, and the early discussions seem outdated when I hit the end. By the time Bernbart has emerged as the voice of reason, I flee the scene.

I find that participating in the UT threads in the first five or six hours after a post is the most beneficial. It’s usually possible to carry on a reasonable conversation on the topic or a direct offshoot at that time, while scrolling past the early entries in the screaming wars. I virtually never, ever, visit a thread after it’s 24 hours old, the stench is just too great, even though a few of our friends tend to stick around and shovel the place out now and then.

Well, since I’ve got two (count ‘em) paying clients right there in your hood, I’ll definitely take you up on that. I’ll buy you a beer with the money I saved by not having to rent a chopper for CHNN to cover the rrheard/Sinnard matchup. Never say never at UT… you’ll be back.
You’d better be.

Miss not “throwing down” with y’all over at GG’s place, but until the screeching tag-team harpies of Paultopia (or is that Pauldopia) are banned or move on of their own volition, I can’t envision typing another stroke. I cannot abide their jumping up and down on the soapbox shouting through their megaphones that everybody who isn’t willing to overlook (or agree with) the inherent paradoxes and the logical and moral inconsistency, incoherence, and vapidity of scientology (oops I mean libertarianism) is a murdering moronic bigotted enemy of the imminent revolution. They strike me as being almost as delusional as utopia seeking neocons–and just as intellectually dishonest.

Wrestling with those two is like wrestling pigs–the pigs love it and I just get dirty. Poor judgment on my part for engaging them the way I did the other day. I should have never let them irritate me. My conduct was rude and disruptive and I apologized by e-mail to Glenn. And though I generally abhor violence, I believe as my good buddy BC puts it “you’ve got the freedom to say anything you like but you also run the risk of getting smacked in the mouth for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time.” Just how it is. Doesn’t mean I’d be proud of it and/or unwilling to face the legal consequences. Thankfully it’s been a very long time since since I’ve responded physically to words. Mocking teh stoopid is usually much more effective and emotionally satisfying. But those two seem immune.

Seeings how we’re practically neighbors if you ever want to catch a cocktail or beer I rarely miss Stephen Ashbrook on Wednesdays at Rock Bottom or the occasional Saturday at White Eagle. Also rarely miss Sneakin’ Out once a month at Mock Crest Tavern. Be nice to put a face to the infamous Cocktailhag monicker someday–but if you prefer to preserve your anonymity no worries whatsoever.

In any event–love your stuff–keep it coming.

That’s exactly it, and maybe Sam taught a valuable lesson: it’s not who you fuck, but come on, let’s not be both a rapacious slut and also an ass about it. And lie to everybody, no doubt including your friends. I wrote something about his when it broke, and it ought to be in archives under the tags. I have always liked Sam, and he’s a smart, together man with an enormous…. potential that has unfortunately been wasted. More’s the pity.

Sam blew it–literally, figuratively, and politically. All my brothers and sisters in P-town that love or like to get down with their own gender were, almost to the person, incredibly disappointed in Sam. The man is a progressive intellectual/policy heavyweight. He was on the verge of what I think was going to be a historic mayoral tenure. And to see him sabotage it right out of the gate was incredibly disheartening. He knew better. He took his opportunity to defang many of the misconceptions and stereotypes regarding the “otherness” of the gay community and flushed it right down the toilet for an inappropriate fling (based on Beau’s age and Sam’s position).

Hopefully Portlanders will see it as a “human mistake” having nothing to do with sexual orientation, move on, and let Sam get on with doing what we elected him to do. Hopefully Sam learned a valuable lesson–”just leave the kids aloooooooone.”

It’s was creepy and wrong just about any way you slice it–gay or straight makes no difference. Wait until your “love interest” is an adult and then get down in whatever way floats your boat (in the privacy of your own home) and nobody in Portland says boo.
