Day 2 of the Bob Blog-A-Thon

Well, you have to hand it to the Repubs. Today they just gave Comcast and all the other internet providers the right to see whatever information they can pull from your online traffic.

That urinary tract infection you just had? Now you'll get ads from antibiotics makers and Depends. Look at the weather? Well Umbrellas-Are-Us will be your new best friend.

It's all about money. It's all about greed.



Why Narcissism, Greed and Power Go Hand in Hand

Business requires that you pay close attention to sales and net income. Those are two of the key measures that allow you to track your business and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Income is something we all need to survive and making a healthy income is both a sign that you can provide for your family and that you have success. Nothing wrong with that either.

But every successful person knows that there is a point when income no longer matters. It them becomes nothing but keeping score. It's is about power,

Growing income inequality is a very bad thing. It signals a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, a bad thing because the poor have EVERYTHING to lose.

Eventually they will revolt.

Where the hell are all the so-called "Conservative Patriots"? Why aren't they screaming that the brother of Betsy DeVos, the most incompetent person ever given a Cabinet position, was working against American interests before Trump even took over. Traitors abound in the Republican Party, that's for sure. It makes me crazy.....

About Being an Oregonian

Gasoline sets Oregonians apart from most all other Americans. The reason is simple: This woman is a wanton lawbreaker. For those of you that don't know, pumping your own gas in Oregon isn't generally allowed. There are exceptions, of course, but every year someone moves to Oregon and starts bellyaching about how awful it is that you can't pump your own gas. Today in a guest opinion piece in The Oregonian Murr Brewster explains this and the soul of Oregonians, better than I can. Enjoy! BY MURR BREWSTER Guest columnist Brian K. Pinaire (" Just let us pump our own gas, already ," July 16) would really like to fill his own gas tank. Somehow, this feels like freedom to him. Perhaps I have a few more seconds than he to spend in quiet contemplation while I listen to my car radio, but I have a different take. People think this is a matter of choice, and that the choice to pump one's own gas has been taken off the table. Actually, everywhere self-service h...

Momentum on side of 15-year-old physics major - The Oregonian

This is a story that reminds us of what the human race is capable of. It Appeared in today's Oregonian by Samantha Swindler, copyright 2017 Grant Harter has always been ahead of the curve. At age 11, his home school curriculum included geometry, astronomy, anatomy, chemistry and — for good measure — ballroom dancing. At 12, he earned his first college credits through Advanced Placement testing. At 13, he enrolled in Clark Community College. At 14, he entered Portland State University as a junior. And this Sunday, he’ll graduate with a major in physics, a minor in math and University Honors. At 15, he is the youngest bachelor’s recipient ever at Portland State. Yet until recently, most of his classmates and professors had no idea the shy, 6-foot-2- inch student was so young. “I think a lot of people just haven’t really been able to tell,” Harter said.
