We're All Cowboys Now

On Monday, the House passed a resolution making "the Code of the West" the "model of conduct in [the] State of Oregon." WTF?

By Source Weekly

At some point in their lives, all little boys want to be cowboys. Most grow out of it. And then there's the Oregon House.

On Monday, the House passed a resolution making "the Code of the West" the "model of conduct in [the] State of Oregon." The "Code of the West" is a mix of platitudes ("Do what has to be done") and obscure precepts ("Ride for the brand" - WTF?) that's pretty bland in itself. But do our legislators really have nothing better to do these days than play cowboy?

Yippee ki-ay and WTF?

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.
