Le Femme Humpita

Hey!! Why do only women spies get to be called “la femmes” (as in La Femme Nikita)? THAT'S DISCRIMINATION, YO.

Hey!! Why do only women spies get to be called “la femmes” (as in La Femme Nikita)? THAT'S DISCRIMINATION, YO. And yes, I'm aware that “la femme” is French for “hot chick” – making it linguistically impossible for a man to hold this title. HOWEVER! Not only would I be a fairly awesome spy, I think I've got what it takes to also make it as a bonafide “la femme.” BEHOLD THE FOLLOWING FACTS!

The DMV Picks the Wrong Home

Pity the poor Bend office of the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles. For the past year or so it's led a nomadic existence, wandering around like a lost child.

First the lease expired on its longtime home on Emkay Drive on the Westside. That forced it to move into a building on the north end of Third Street that old-timers will remember as the former Bend Welcome Center.

Bike parking politics, pot in jail, spellchecking and Kitzhaber in Bend

Oregon's growing legions of medical marijuana users (numbering 36,380 souls as of July 1) are no doubt accustomed to having their right to legally toke challenged by employers and society – not to mention the federal government.

You Can't Toke That Here
Oregon's growing legions of medical marijuana users (numbering 36,380 souls as of July 1) are no doubt accustomed to having their right to legally toke challenged by employers and society – not to mention the federal government. But Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) patients all of whom have been prescribed the drug by physicians should be on alert to steer clear of the Jackson County jail where Sheriff Mike Winters has taken a hard line on inmates blazing up behind bars.

Wine Tastings Piece Was A Little Empty

Source Weekly

I enjoyed the article in the September 2nd issue of the Source concerning wine tastings in Central Oregon and would have enjoyed it more had it included the wine tastings done by The Good Drop Wine Shoppe and the Wine Shop on Minnesota Avenue in downtown Bend, at Newport Avenue Market and Whole Foods and, especially, the FREE wine tasting at Bend Wine Cellar at Newport Avenue and College Way every Saturday from 2 to 5pm.

Check Your Facts

Source Weekly

Hey, John Sabo (Mailbox, 9/2 “Missed Boots): Maybe you need to try getting news from somewhere other than Faux Newds. The White House issued a press release that Michelle paid for the trip herself not the taxpayers. The Obamas can afford it. As for Imam Rauf, he was sent to Bahrain for the same reason Bush sent him numerous times years ago: he’s a moderate who has been working to improve the U.S.

Who's Less American?

Source Weekly

I've recently been told that I'm less of an American than you.
This confused me a little at first, but after giving it some hard-working, American thought, I'm inclined to agree with you.
I'm un-American because…
I put honey in my coffee instead of sugar, I wear a moonstone around my neck instead of a cross, I read the news instead of watch it
My physical geographical location on a map happens to be on the left,
My dog doesn't always come when I call him, and I haven't bled for my country.

More in Common

Source Weekly

As one of the newest members of the Common Table community, I was excited to see the the Source’s profile of this status-quo-challenging social entrepreneurship venture (“We Are All Common,” Aug. 26). Yet rather than being the project of only two incredibly passionate and talented individuals as the article suggested, Common Table has been a community endeavor from the start.

Knocking Down the Dust

Hooray for rain! The much-needed moisture falling from the sky over the past couple of days has helped quell the dusty conditions somewhat. It's amazing how much rain it really takes to bring back the tacky firm soil conditions we know and love.
