The Eye offers sincere apologies for being so late to pick up on this, but right-wing columnist David Reinhard has left The Oregonian.
Friday Night 11/21:
Will Durst at the Tower Theatre
Yeah, yeah, don't give me any more BS about how you're so "worn out" by this year's election to talk about or hear anything about politics. Get yourself to the Tower Theatre tonight and take in the political hilarity of self-described "raging moderate" Will Durst.
Oregon Democrats and Republicans are dividing along classic ideological lines in response to the state's calamitous predicted budget shortfall.
Mike Dugan has been mentioned as a likely choice for US Attorney for Oregon, but it seems the Deschutes County District Attorney isn't too interested in the job.
The Eye will never be able to understand why anybody would want the job, but 15 people have applied for the late Bill Friedman's seat on the Bend City Council.
The Sofa Kings
friday 21
You've likely seen MC Mystic behind
the turntables as well as the microphone, but most don't know the dude
can also play the drums like nobody's business. He'll show off his
beatkeeping prowess with this new band, the Sofa Kings, the
female-fronted outfit that's debuting at the newly reopened Pyro Lounge
at the Old Mill Martini Bar. That's a pretty clever name for a venue
that was closed due to a fire not too long ago. 9pm. Pyro Lounge at The
Old Mill Martini Bar, 360 SW Powerhouse Dr.
Will Durst
friday 21
If
you didn't laugh enough during the past election, check out Durst's
bipartisan take on political hilarity. Check out the Culture section
for more info. 21 and over. 8pm. $25/advance, $28/door. Tower Theatre,
835 NW Wall St., 317-0700.
Lovers of Bend's Badlands Wilderness who have been waiting for years to see it designated as a federally protected wilderness area will have to wait a little longer: Congress won't be able to get around to it during the current lame-duck session.

We may never know whether Oregon's new senator-elect voted for or against letting renegade Sen. Joe Lieberman keep his key committee chairmanship. But Merkley's office made it clear to Huffington Post blogger Sam Stein that Merkley wasn't happy about it.
Wandering around downtown Bend the other day, The Eye dropped in at a local business we have been patronizing for the past five years or so and asked whether the local real estate bust and the national Great George W. Bush Depression were affecting business.
