There are two stories circulating in the national media from out of the city of Portland.\u00c2\u00a0 One is a sad case that everyone hopes turns out well.\u00c2\u00a0 The other story mostly bores the Hell out of me.<\/p>\n
Missing seven year old child<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Seen in various photographs in front of his science fair project.\u00c2\u00a0 Dropped off at school.\u00c2\u00a0 Never appeared again.\u00c2\u00a0 What is there to say?\u00c2\u00a0 I hope for the best — though for the life of me I can’t think of what that would be — and expect something less than the best, though hope it’s not the worst — which I don’t want to think about.\u00c2\u00a0 Have you seen that child?\u00c2\u00a0 If you have — you know where to turn.<\/p>\n Go to the comments section of the story above and you see the useless speculation firing out … uselessly.<\/p>\n I have a horrible feeling that he is somewhere on the campus, hidden from sight. Secret areas of the school a janitor might know about? Another thought that keeps popping into my mind has to do with the child’s science fair project. He was presenting on a tree frog. Is it possible that he took off to a nearby creek to try and find this “frog” to show along with his project? I realize that the science fair had already taken place, but generally the kids turn their project into their teachers after the science faire, to present before the class. Maybe he has tragically fallen into water somewhere? I have a 7 year old son in 2nd grade, that’s why this hits so close to home for me. \ud83d\ude41<\/em><\/p>\n Well, I guess I now do have the answer to what\u00c2\u00a0my hard to\u00c2\u00a0come up with\u00c2\u00a0“Best Case Scenario” would be.\u00c2\u00a0 Safely in a closet.\u00c2\u00a0 More armchair unhelpful commentary on the state of the mother’s marriage\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0relationship comes through in the comments here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also available, right now on the front page … well, there’s that worst case scenario I guess.<\/p>\n The other news story that is making the national rounds… Anarchist Coffee House kicks out Police Officer customer.<\/p>\n … Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 The comments to this section get downright hilarious<\/a>.<\/p>\n He just lost my business.<\/em><\/p>\n Surely you jest?<\/p>\n Does anyone the\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf URL for this dumb bitch’s blog… I hope it has a comment section open when I find it!!!!!!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n FIGHT THE POWER, DallasGBoy.<\/p>\n Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s a Stupid Local Radio Host Stunt<\/a>, which is\u00c2\u00a0just as well — but:<\/p>\n The Red and Black, according to this morning’s Zero, has had a record amount of business since the cop was asked to leave a few days ago. That is all well and good and the Red and Black owner should enjoy his new-found notoriety while he can. This will turn out to be just a flash-in-the-pan. I will not be at all surprised if the joint is out of business by the end of the year, or at least by this time next year, and the resident anarchists, enviro-wackos, cop-haters, and the other various and sundry neer-do-wells that infest the place will have to find another rock to crawl under.<\/em><\/p>\n Supposing for a minute we consider its existence dates back from before this time last year –\u00c2\u00a0I guess it’s been operating there since two years before this post<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0–\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Hm.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 Armed services veteran and Beaverton waste services business owner P.J. Mulcahy came to the cafe and press conference today as well. He wore his veteran’s jacket and seemed to be there to see whether he would be thrown out.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>When asked about his guide to political confrontations, he evoked Saul Alinksy, I suppose.
\nHey!\u00c2\u00a0 A wacky\u00c2\u00a0Facebook group<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It evokes the name of Emma Goldman!\u00c2\u00a0 And here I thought I would be bored looking at this story.<\/p>\n
