Ted Nugent and Phil Robertson decide on
shotgun wedding
Sources^ ZM Tare reporting that rock god Ted "The Head" Nugent
and "Duck Dynasty"'s Phil "The Bill" Robertson are on the verge of tying
the knot.' -
Friends of Nugent say Robertson really has a stranglehold on Tert. "It’s
embarrassing," says a close friend. "They can't keep their hands off-each
other's guns. Ted told me that he even let Phil lube his rifle before
shooting it last weekend. They've got the fever."
Rumors started to swirl last month after a national duck hunters
magazine published a photo of the two cozying up in a deer stand near
Lubbock, Texas.
"We're really excited about getting back to the cabin," Robertson's told
the magazine. "It's going to be a free-for-all." -
Sources close to the family say Robertson's lovecandsecond cousin is
heartbroken. “He's been wandering around all day stepping on rusty nails
and whacking birds with Ted Nugent CDs."
„ Apparently,the two families have reserved an entire Cracker Barrel near
Lexington, Ky., for the rehearsal dinner.
"By golly, wang dang, sweet poontang. I wouldn't miss that for the
world," Phil Junior told ZMT/ "We'rO sad of course that ol' Fred. Phelps isn't
going to be able tooversee the ceremony. But hell, we'll be inviting T e d .
Cruz dowri. You really have to guard your, back fence.when Ted's around.
We drank beers with him last year in Texarkana, and leVs just say a few
chicken's were choked. It was a regular ol' hootenanny."
Former M u ltn o m a h C oun try C hair J e ff Cogen has c^ ou^ ed
he'ITbe releasing a new book in the su m m er titled,
Dope with J eff Cogen.” A n agent fo r Cogen says the book will tell
his side o f the steamy story o f politics in M ultnom ah Country. .
“You don't th in k J e ff is the only political powerhouse w Portland
h itting the sauce do y o u ? ” The book w ill also look a t Cogen s

A Portland transplant, portrayed here by actor Tim Robbins, expresses abject sorrow a t the a m o u n t o f rain lan d in g on
his adopted city.
Transplants surprised by amount of rain, depression
ipster transplants from across “North America
say they love Portland, but are surprised by how
much it rains.
“My mom told me it was going to be wet, but I had
no idea. Where I’m from blah, blah, blah,” said a
20-something wearing skinny jeans and a UCLA
sweatshirt.
Last year, Street Roots delivered the first in a series
of depressing reports on a new unscientific study called
Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. In its second year,
the report now says there is actual proof that SAD is
altering people’s behavior, but how, is not exactly
known.
Armchair typist and citizen journalist, sometimes
environmentalist, human rights activist, bird chaser,
coffee and beer connoisseur, rider of bicycles,
vegetarian and cook, and co-author of SAD, James
“Joyce” Irjshpants said the new report proves that
Portlanders are not weird per say, but just unique,
interesting and very intellectually dark.
“I don’t know if I would say that we are more
depressed. I mean, I’m certainly depressed, but I think
it’s more about .the world around us than the rain,”
Irishpants said. “I personally blame Russia.”
“We are a city full of cliches,” says a professor living
off of his useless advices “It’s very poetic in a way. I like
to think of Portland as an Edgar Allan Poe novel meets
the rich, white, condescending, city dwellers that we
are.”
The report also notes that while global warming is
thought to eventually wreak havoc and destroy our way
of life in the Pacific Northwest, that it’s possibly, that
during our lifetime we could see warmer winters. “It’s
bittersweet, depending on how you look at it,” says
Irishpants,
“It’s a hell of lot better than Arizona,” he added.
“Have you seen what white people look hke'after living
there for 20 years? Talk about depressing.”
