Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley is doing a bit of push-polling to try to find out what lines of attack would be most effective against his chief rival for the Democratic Senate nomination, Steve Novick, The Associated Press reports.
The Democratic Party of Oregon has put out a brutal video slamming our own Congressman Greg Walden for letting a million dollars in Republican campaign funds disappear on his watch.
Spring break has officially begun at the University of Oregon on this Friday afternoon, but there’s no shortage of young faces remaining on the Eugene campus. A line, five people thick in some places, starts at the doors of McArthur Court, extending in both directions for more than a thousand feet, nearly enclosing the university’s massive athletic complex. There isn’t a basketball game at Mac Court today — the team is in Little Rock, Ark. and slowly losing its lead in a first-round NCAA tournament game. And there isn’t a concert either — live music doesn’t stop at Mac Court too often these days. These people are here to see Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential hopeful who is in the midst of a less than two-day sweep of Oregon in preparation for the state’s May 20 primary.
It sounds like something that might have been published by the late, lamented Weekly World News, but apparently it's for real: A Bend man is pregnant.

The story of a Bulletin reporter who was fired after complaining about how the paper was spinning its real estate coverage went statewide this afternoon when Oregon Public Broadcasting picked it up.
In last week's column we listed the three finalists for the superintendent position for the Bend-La Pine School District. As it turns out, by the time the paper had hit the streets, the district's board of directors had concluded their search, choosing one of their own by way of a 6-1 vote: Ron Wilkinson, the district's deputy superintendent for almost seven years.
With 31 years of educational experience, Wilkinson was one of three finalists for the job, but the only one with local experience. Wilkinson will take the place of current superintendent Doug Nelson, who is retiring in June after eight years with the district. The other two finalists for the job had experience working in education in Wyoming and California's Bay Area.
Motorbreath in the shred zone.If you were lucky, you were in the crowd that caught Portland-based Metallica tribute band Motorbreath’s show at the Reed Pub the other night. (Sound Check was.) Your lucky streak ain’t run out yet, either, because you find yourself here — where you can check out bonus photos of Motorbreath, Tentareign, and a video clip of the last song from Vengeance Creek’s set. Horns up and read on.
