KATU - Portland, OR : Young widow cherishes last letter from husband killed in war | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portlan

Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:45 +0000

Too many brave soldiers like this boy have died and many more will die because we are not trying to win this war, we are fighting it according to the rules the news media sets down. Until we either get out of that miserable place or start the draft again, no one should enlist in the military. Maybe then, the powers to be will either tell the news media to kiss off and fight to win, no matter how many civilians die, or get out of Afghanistan. The only reason they allow us into their country is because we give them billions in aid, for which we get nothing in return. Nothing other than our military losing their lives for nothing.

Looks like the drunken sots didn't sober up enough to read the entire measure. Even without the increase of 27 percent, the price would still be high because Washington already had the highest booze tax in the country. Just goes to show how stupid most people are. Too many people are allowed to vote but haven't got the intelligence to do it properly.

How many more kids will believe the lie that without a college degree you can't get a good job? Advice to over fifty percent of them is to skip college and get an apprenticeship or join the military and learn a skill. You will be much better off in the long run.

As weird as this story is, are they sure it happened in Miami and not Portland? This sure sounds like something the whackos in Portland would do and then brag about it.

If we get out now, maybe more weddings and birthdays won't have to be cancelled because of a war we don't want to win. Since obama has already guaranteed Afghanistan that we will be there, one way or another, for ten more years, there will be many more headlines like this one. Getting out by 2014 is nothing more than another campaign promise which he will break, although breaking this one will cost many lives.

KATU - Portland, OR : Strike over in Reynolds School District, it\'s back to class on Tuesday | Local & Regional | KATU.co

Sun, 27 May 2012 02:31:46 +0000

I'm getting sick of hearing people defend the teachers and how hard they work. They make at least fifty grand a year and have fifteen weeks of paid vacation every year, plus how many half days, work days, or whatever excuse they come up with to not teach. If the job is as bad as people make out, then why are there so many people teaching? Because it is a great job with great pay and benefits and you don't have to be qualified to teach. Just paying union dues will keep you at a job. If they and the teacher's unions are doing so great, how come the United States is falling behind the rest of the world in education and our graduates are functionally illiterate after finishing high school. Our colleges had to reduce the entrance requirements for freshmen because they were so dumb they couldn't pass the tests. Now, tell me again, how tough it is to be a teacher. Just as much to blame are the stupidest voters in the world. They keep passing bonds and levies and our students keep getting dumber and our schools more worthless.

I'm glad he finally has had justice served, but, now it's time to get a life and a job. Get over the jock attitude and become a member of the real world. I realize that he probably didn't get an education because of his athletic skills, like most pro athletes, so now he has nothing to fall back on. Of course his friends and family are licking their lips at the thought of him making a fortune playing football. I wish him the best of luck, but watch out for the vultures which are already gathering around him.

KATU - Portland, OR : 2 female Army officers sue to reverse combat ban | National & World News | KATU.com - Portland News,

Sat, 26 May 2012 14:41:27 +0000

These two are complete idiots. Anyone who wants to be in a combat situation, whether it is a man or woman is completely nuts. Being ordered into it is one thing, wanting to be in it is another. Yes, if they are that stupid, then put them in an all woman unit and let them go into combat. Just don't put them into a situation where their actions may cause others to die. I'm sure the politically correct dumbos will consider anything even remotely connected to combat as heroic and make a big deal out of nothing. No wonder this country is rapidly becoming the laughing stock of the entire world.

KATU - Portland, OR : Spammers now targeting cell phones. Here\'s how to stop it | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portland

Fri, 25 May 2012 23:17:36 +0000

With so many people hooked on cell phones, even though it shows that they don't have a worthwhile life, it will only get worse. I don't have any problems since I have a great life without a cellphone. Once they find a way to defeat one type of spam or other annoying problem, the spammers will come up with another, because they are smarter than the cell phone users and companies.

Nice to know that the worthless company that we taxpayers got to bail out, (Chrysler) without our consent, is part of a bigger operation who has been dealing with one of our enemies. And there are people who want the fool in the White House reelected for a second term. How can anyone like someone who likes our enemies more than his own country? What a bunch of disgraceful losers.

Why was space wasted on this article. It would have been better for all if it would have been used for advertising. Most products are more interesting and more useful than the so-called "first lady".

Ten years should be her punishment. The same goes for head doctors who let criminals out of prison, who go on to kill more innocent people. Also for the worthless kids who ruin their parents lives by accusing them of crimes they didn't do just because the spoiled brats didn't get his or her way. I'll bet it would amaze us if we knew how many times this has happened.

KATU - Portland, OR : Ouch – gas prices closing in on record highs | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portland News, Sp

Fri, 25 May 2012 02:14:26 +0000

If people are smart and really care about the price of gas, they should not go anywhere this weekend. Don't spend any money at motels, resorts, on airline tickets, or anywhere that means using fuel to get there. A few of these weekends and our worthless politicians may actually get the hint that we need regulation on these oil companies. Of course, since our politicians are nothing but crooks, they won't bite the hand that feeds them and too many consumers are just too stupid to figure out what is going on. Americans are becoming the dumbest people on the planet.

Bring back the days of the "hanging judge" and our problems will be solved. If you are a murderer, child molester or drugger, make the death penalty mandatory. Within a couple of years we will be able to tear down most of our prisons and use the money for more important things. We will only have a few of the dumbest continuing a life of crime, so only a handful of gallows scattered around the country will be necessary.

It won't be long before someone in the United States starts a similar operation, funded by the taxpayers. The way our current bums in Washington D.C. are operating, it will only cost about a million dollars per mile to fly it. Of course, since their special interest bed partners will be getting wealthy, we taxpayers will be told we are getting a bargain.

What do you expect when the politicians are buying votes with food stamps and other handouts to the deadbeats. The democraps are famous for this tactic. We have older people starving, but these worthless politicians will go out of their way to give losers anything necessary in order to get votes. That's how our current dictator wannabe got elected and of course is the way he will get elected again.

Toss the bums out. They make over fifty thousand dollars a year and get fifteen weeks paid vacation annually, plus many more days off during the year. Spoiled worthless brats. Another problem. Katu shows phone numbers in English, Spanish and Russian for strike information, put out by the school district. This is pure BS. Go back where you belong since you aren't interested in becoming citizens of the United States. I realize that a certain political party, not mentioning which one, but their mascot is a donkey, depend on these deadbeat's votes so don't expect them to be leaving any time soon.

None of this would have happened if Clinton would have let our CIA take out bin laden when they had him in their sights. Clinton, by doing so, should be shouldering some of the blame for the 9/11 horror. I guess he was too interested in taking care of his concubine instead of protecting the United States. Don't believe it. This link is for a "60 Minutes" show a couple of weeks ago. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7408420n&a...

So, where did it state these were union members? Sounds like some on this forum think they must be union members because they are drinking. Only a union hater would state that. Even so, these deadbeat union bashers are jealous because they aren't smart enough or can't give up their drugs long enough to get a union job. So, enjoy your dead end job and a future which is going nowhere. You deserve it.
