I've lost track of who authors "The BOOT" column, but it matters not. The column titled "Civil Union Victory" on Page 7 of the Feb. 7 issue states that Judge Mosman's ruling related to "an initiative to repeal Oregon's civil union law for the ballot." There are two things wrong with that: 1) It was a petition for a referendum to kill HB2007 before it became law, and 2) you cannot repeal an act (HB2007) before it becomes law!!
We Are SO Ashamed
Git Along, Little Bushie
The occupier of the White House gave his final State of the Union address and is now tantalizingly close to retirement, where he can ride around the Crawford "ranch," crashing his bicycle instead of the economy, whacking weeds instead of people. This fake cowboy and his fraudulent administration have pistol-whipped the American public for so long that his final efforts to fleece us sound somewhat ordinary, like a song sung so often that the lyrics relate a lilting logic, no matter the words spoken.
Keepin’ It Pretty
Just wanted to drop a line and say I really enjoy reading the online version of the Source.

Balance the Recruiters’ Pitch
Wow, Charles Sweckert's letter is a difficult one to reply to because it's so rhetorical – no facts, just questions.
Military recruiters have a place they can recruit; it's called a recruiting station. They have no business preying on our junior and high school students.
I think it is important that those of us who are supporting the troops by working for peace have organized peace vigils for five years in Bend, while the pro-war fanatics want to send our children off to two wars based on nothing but lies.
The Brilliance of Kristol
As The Bulletin searches high and low to find political columnists who mirror the local newspaper's incredibly conservative viewpoints, it probably needs to be pointed out what a fine job they have done with their addition of Bill Kristol. This is his most recent insight (Sunday, Feb.
Juniper Ridge After the Divorce
"City, Juniper developers reconcile," said the headline at the top of the front page of Bend's daily newspaper last Thursday. The headline was off the mark. Instead of a reconciliation, the City of Bend and its Juniper Ridge master developer have agreed on a divorce settlement.

The Taser is the ideal law enforcement tool - a weapon that can bring an unruly, maybe dangerous suspect down at a safe distance without causing death or any lasting harm.
Video & photos: Rawkity rawk and public service with Hell’s Belles
By all accounts we’ve heard (and written), Hell’s Belles turned out a helluva performance at last Saturday night’s Bend Winterfestivities. Here are a few spare photos from the gig, as well as a video clip which documents a bit of bona fide rawking, along with some righteous crowd control. Read on for the juice.
KBND: Flying on One (Right) Wing
The EYE doesn't generally pay much attention to talk radio, but the other day we wandered over to KBND's website to check out the program lineup. We found it covers the full spectrum of political opinion … if by "full spectrum" you mean everything from the right to the far right to the lunatic-fringe right.
Racist? Who, Us?
The following item was posted this morning by "I Am Coyote" on the NW Republican blog. The EYE believes it speaks for itself:
