Ok, here you go folks. I told you I would swim in the cesspool of Portland Indymedia so that you wouldn�t have to. And I did. I�ve taken more showers this week than a Frenchman takes all year and I am now ready to report.

There is a lot of information in these links. I will be posting these one day per entry so as to keep them somewhat short. Take some time and read them all. I will be listing a number of the things I found funny, ridiculous or a good read, with a link for each, and then a winner for the day. If you enjoy this feature, please let me know. I would not mind turning it into something I do weekly if there is a demand.

It also has a blurb about the �faking� of injuries by militants that magically heal themselves within minutes.

In my opinion I would think that it was the father who killed his son. Giving him a front-row seat for a gunfight, and all. But that could just be me.
