Ashamed of The “R”?

By Source Weekly

Has anyone else noticed that the jumbo political signs popping up around Central Oregon for Republican candidates (Tim Knopp, Jason Conger, Gene Whisnant, etc.) fail to mention their political affiliation?

I would be naive to assume they are so ashamed of what the Republican party has become that they want to distance themselves from it.
More likely, knowing they have the votes of Republican loyalists, they are attempting to build name recognition with independent and uninformed voters in hopes of getting "I've heard that name" votes at election time.

More of the same from the party of George W. Bush.

Little Bites: Thanksgiving Dinner is Served! Restaurants that will cook for you on Thursday

While many of us are going to be slaving over stoves, stuffing, brining or the always fun deep-frying our butterball turkeys this Thursday, there are options for those who don't feel like sticking their hands in the cavity of a 20-pound bird or cutting up the neck to stew some gravy. For all of you who would rather have a skilled chef prepare your fixins, here's a list of restaurants serving Thanksgiving Dinner, courtesy of Visit Bend.
