In case you didn't know...

Our Mayor had sex with an 18yr old intern and lied about it. I have one word for this situation: HOT!

Look, I don't understand how politics is the only time when you have to disclose past sexual relationships and current sexual activity for your job. Why is this ever an issue? I don't understand how a person's most private life is automatically public business when they go into politics. Why is this the only job where it's okay? Any other job and you could sue the pants off (pun totally intended) your boss for asking any questions about your sex life. I get that people are mad that he lied, and mad about the way he lied; making it out to be almost a gay right to not stereotype gay men as pedophiles, and that he was so disgusted that people would accuse him of sleeping with his intern. He probably shouldn't have pushed it that far considering it was a lie. But seriously, I would have lied too. It's no body's business. I don't care what job you have.

"Oh, but it reflects on their character."
"He isn't trustworthy now."
"If a person can't have a stable/uncontroversial life at home, then they couldn't possible have a stable/uncontroversial professional life either."

Guess what? That's all crap. A person's sex life is a non issue. Period.

You know there is something wrong when....

....your 5yr old knows the names of who is running for U.S. Senate and you don't. I'm not kidding. My son talks about Jeff Merkley and Gordon Smith randomly (and often), and I usually can't even remember their names. Proof solid that campaign commericials have gotten way out of hand.

Really good...no, KICK ASS Pizza.

The Rock pizza is very, very good. Their new location in Vancouver, WA is now open, and yours truly just had to go check it out. Their menu has many non-pizza items, and more pizza recipes than you could wish for (all named after some kick ass rock song or other). There are kid menus (which my picky eater loved) and they even bring out pizza dough for the kids to play with. The atmosphere is awesome, good tunes, and the waitstaff is beyond amazing. And believe me, I can definitely critique some wait staff. OH, not to mention their bar/beer/wine selection is freakin' awesome. I had a drink called "The Bucket", which was served IN A BUCKET. You know those kiddie sand pails? Yeah, it was in one of those, complete with shovel. I'm not kidding. It had 4 different rums, and customers are only limited two! PLUS, purchasing said awesome-pail aids libraries. Oh yes, they donate The Bucket sales to libraries. My three favorite things: booze, books, and pizza. OH, and rock music. So that makes four. They also have two different happy hours, your regular 3pm-6pm, and another later one.

They are located all over Washington state, but if you are in PDX, jump right across the river and check out the one in Vancouver (seriously, it's like the first exit across the bridge)!

Hey Landlords, You MIGHT Not Want To Piss Off Your Tenants

A Portland man has been convicted of killing his landlord and fellow tenant. Apparently the landlord was going to kick homedog out, on account that dude was always late with his rent. So what does Mr. Latepayer do? He decides that murder is the answer to possible eviction. Yeah.

Oh, and it gets worse. I guess that he decided if he was going to actually commit murder, he would go all out. You can tell he was truely mad at the landlord and only a little upset with his housemate (must of played his music too loudly or left his dishes in the sink).

So here is the setup: the housemate's bullet-ridden body was found off the side of the road. Next to him was the torso of the landlord. Yes, only the freakin' torso. The landlord's limbs and much of his skin were later found in some minivan that also contained blood from all three men...

Okay, so I'm not a doctor or anything, but it seems to me that some body parts are missing. Lets count: one torso + limbs + much of his skin = full body? Yeahhh I don't think that adds up.

Here's the link to the story: http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_070208_news_landlord_dismemberment_.16dc979e.html

Sadly enough, all I could think about while reading that story, was; I wonder if they are going to rent out that room for a cheaper rate now?
