The Portland Freelancer: January 2006
http://portlandfreelancer.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Every now and then I sense a level of sheer ignorance coming out of this White House that is hard to fathom. The way Bush was talking about oil last night - about ending our addiction to Middle East oil is frighteningly out of touch with reality. That’s like saying we have to stop breathing so much. Could the White House just now be tuning in to the oil situation around the world? Could he be that ignorant? It scares me to think this, but all the signs are there. We might b...

The Portland Freelancer: June 2006
http://portlandfreelancer.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. This is so typical of the White House Spin Machine. You know the terrible rain and flooding back East? Well, now the White House is claiming we invaded Iraq for the dry weather. Posted by Bill McDonald @ 10:27 AM. Thursday, June 29, 2006. OHSU from the Air. The Oregonian had a big photo of OHSU today and it really was quite impressive. If you missed it, here it is:. Posted by Bill McDonald @ 12:53 PM. Wednesday, June 28, 2006.

Friday, March 31, 2006. The Lighter Notes: The Sole Staged Promo Shot. I used to keep the lousy guitar from New York out in plain view. I figured if someone broke in they might steal it, instead of something important. By the way, It looks like the Lighter Notes will be playing some pretty substantial gigs this year, so if you need our services, the time to act is now. One highlight last year was the Pioneer Square gig where they build the sand castles. Posted by Bill McDonald @ 10:27 PM. Then Andrew Car...

Sunday, April 30, 2006. If This Is Goodbye" - The 9/11 Song. Posted by Bill McDonald @ 11:28 PM. Is Mayor Tom Potter Out of It? So is he on top of things or not? The best attribute I think he’s got going for himself, is that he does not appear dazzled by the job. He’s not running around like Sam Adams doing shifts here and there for a day: Look at me! Now I’m a cab driver! Posted by Bill McDonald @ 7:34 PM. Saturday, April 29, 2006. Shame and Sadness in Washington: The White House Correspondents Dinner.

The Portland Freelancer: May 2006

Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Tram Follow-Up in New York. Am I actually missing the tram debate here in Portland? I guess I've been a little nostalgic for the glory days of Spring when the tram drama played out. What a letdown especially with Dan Saltzman folding up, after Randy Leonard assured the frenzied masses that there was no way Dan would do that.

The Portland Freelancer: September 2006
http://portlandfreelancer.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 30, 2006. Luck of the Draw. Instead of talking about her, I turned it back on Newt. That's comedy, baby. It was also a fairly elegant joke. I mean I could write a little essay on the joke's social worth making the audience realize they sort of assumed being a lesbian was something to be ashamed of, blah, blah, blah, and then asking them why they felt that way? So where is this going? A cute single like "I Got You Babe" or more violent deaths than any serial killer in history? War Crim...

The Portland Freelancer: July 2006
http://portlandfreelancer.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 31, 2006. Several months ago, I saw a Progressive Review piece about the NSA hassling the blogger known as Capitol Hill Blue. I posted it as well on my blog, where it was somehow picked up by the Fark site. That was back in March, and it turns out it was a hoax NSA letter sent by some of the Capitol Hill Blue guy's buddies. Good one! You're sitting in Washington, D.C! You should know that! Posted by Bill McDonald @ 10:06 PM. Dear Anonymous, Have I Got a Letter for You. March 18, 2003. Dear M...

The Portland Freelancer: October 2006
http://portlandfreelancer.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. The Wind Cries Kerry. If you’re in that perceptive group that truly sees the danger of this current administration for the twisted bully/cowards that they are - you were probably more than a little freaked out to hear John Kerry talk his way into another jam recently. I know I was, and my level of frustration was much more personal than for most. From June, 2003, addressed to Kerry himself. A few weeks ago I faxed three of your offices and. Interested in hearing your ideas re&#...
