OT - for Camron

[Juulie Downs]

The funny thing about the Oregonian is that anyone who's even remotely conservative complains that it's way too liberal, and anyone who's even remotely liberal complains that it's way too conservative. Those of us in the mushy middle just complain about everything.

On the Oregon (particularly Portland/Salem/Eugene) skewed spectrum of things, those that are "remotely conservative" are really left of center and those that are lean right are considered staunch conservatives.

Juulie - the D's in Oregon don't use the term "liberal" anymore. It's too inflammatory. They use "progressive". I know. Yesterday, I attended District 35 nominating convention to nominate a replacement for the state rep here who has resigned. Not a single person there ever used that word. They all used "progressive". I guess it's called "newspeak".
