Right-wing radio host and blogger Bill Post of Salem has uncovered a horrendous political scandal: Jim Bernau, CEO of Willamette Valley Vineyards, appears to be a closet liberal.
Post was able to break this blockbuster of a story, according to his blog, because an alert listener tipped him “that there was a bus at the McMinnville David Wu Town Hall meeting Monday night that was, as the listener described, 'filled with Obama Health Care supporters with ACORN connections and the bus was sponsored by Willamette Valley Vineyards.

is closing soon and that Astro and Marz may not be far behind as the landlord pursues a plan to remodel the Minnesota Ave.

You may have heard the news by now, but Les Paul, the guitar wizard who did wonders for both guitar players and guitars themselves, passed away today at the glorious age of 94.
Most know his name because it is also the moniker for one of rock and roll’s most popular instruments, the Les Paul guitar by Gibson.

Am I on Steroids?
Guess what? You might be on steroids. Last week, it became known that David Ortiz tested positive for one (or more than one) of those pesky performance-enhancing drugs back in 2003. But Ortiz says that he has no clue how he could have possibly ingested or been injected with steroids and they must have somehow been in some supplement he was taking.
That's right, this man unknowingly took steroids, just like Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez and several other ball players who've used the “I don't know how that got in my system” defense after testing positive. This gave me pause, thinking: Could I, too, be unknowingly juicing?
