his appearance, group sex, groping women,
and lying about his past. No, it’s not a
Kennedy or a Clinton, it’s Arnold
Schwarzenegger!
Where is the outrage from the right-wing
crypto fascists on cable news? How come
Ann Coulter hasn’t written about this scan-
dal? Why aren’t conservative demagogues
like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Bill
O’Reilly, Neil Cavetto, and Pat Buchanan
railing about the “character” issue that was so
important during the Clinton scandal? Where
is the outrage?
Ooops! I just remembered: “Ah-nuld” is a
Republican! Oh, those hypocritical conserva-
tives! They out to rename their party the
“Republicrites.”

FOR THE KIDS
Ah, Oregon, what a cash-cow rich place it
is. The Legislature made national news pay-
ing and costing itself all the overtime for its
terminal late sessions, which brewed two
seizures of non-voluntary funds: the first an
outright tax increase and the other a single
issue ballot measure to fund a criminal theft
of money that is bankrupting the state on a
lifetime basis with no termination date. Even
with the new bond measure it will continue to
force the children who can’t vote today to pay
for it tomorrow. Oregon has found a way to
tax the children of the future.
It is alleged that the bond measure has
been voted into law, yet everyone knows that
bonds are paid back by taxes and under the
tax laws of Oregon there wasn’t the necessary
number of voters to pass a tax measure on the
youth of Oregon.
Then there is the nature of the con-
testable punch card ballots used in this
county which have already been deemed by
a federal court as a civil rights violation dur-
ing the ballot measure vote. Which leads us
to the director of our local voting system
who has been quoted in print saying that if
`necessary, there were tricks that could be
done with the vote to help pass any civil tax
increase measure.
There is nothing like employment secu-
rity with a guaranteed 8 percent a year retire-
ment increase to protect an ongoing crime
against the youth of Oregon.
It’s “for the kids,” don’t you know? We
love you to death!
