So K2 is getting $2800 a day to work out a deal for two lousy jobs...... So far K2 = $14000 Oregon workers = still less work K2 clearly milking this for all its worth at the expense of the Oregon worker

All this delay over two lousy FTE's.......... this is just one of countless examples of how unions have become too powerful for their own good. Its time they should be done away with.

If the govt. going to stop student loans at these for profit schools, they need to stop funding about 1/2 of all college degrees if the feds are to be at all consistent . how many philosophy degrees actually pay for themselves?

Only racists see enforcement of immigration laws as racist......... It is NOT racist to deport ANYONE who is here illegally.....whether they be from Canada, europe, the far east or Mexico. its the same reasoning the loons on the left call me a racist because I didn't vote for B HO..... I would tell them if being racist is the only reason not voting for B HO.... conversely that would mean the ONLY reason they COULD vote for B HO was race. Actually, I did not vote for B HO because I do not like his policies and the pigment in his skin did NOT at all enter into my thought process I why I did not vote for B HO.

While I sympathize with your thoughts. I wouldn't go as far as banning mtn. climbing. My preference would be to simply stop all tax payer funded rescues. IMHO, either volunteers or a private companies should handle rescues.

so all you bleeding hearts who think it is OK for these illegal aliens to stay....... what do you say to the many thousands of prospective immigrants waiting in line to enter our country legally. B HO's policies are nothing but a tremendous slap in the face to those immigrants who came to this country legally!

Watching soccer is like watching first graders play basketball (when one is not related to any of the players) lots of missed shots and a very low score...... and many times there is no winner or loser even with some very gifted athletics with incredible ball control..... its still adds up to little more than 90 minutes of watching paint dry

""""AP Interview: Rosenblum plans new approach as AG""""" new approach = "new" face to the status quo on a side note...... IMHO, kinda sad KATU as to rely on a AP reporter for a story on OREGON politics.

At least on the bright side, his body will be able to be brought down when the weather improves. Whereas the climb to the top of Everest...... that is not possible. http://sometimes-interesting.com/2011/06/29/over-...

Of course the waitresses don't bother her since she clearly is in hot pursuit of men with money........

""""""The company's original offer included a 17 percent wage increase over five years """""" Damn, thats a good offer....... those unions are nukin futs to reject that. I hope the company had the nads to stand their ground and continue to use workers that are more than happy to have a job.

"""""in this thread of bunch baby boomers bashing electric cars slobbering in nostalgia"""""" No, I'm bashing a car that cost twice what a gasoline powered car costs and can only go 100-125 miles before it takes hours of charging before its usful again. The tesla is nothing but a expensive toy for those dreaming of saving the planet...... or not wanting to spend money on imported oil supporting Canada and South America (over 60%of our imported oil comes from these two countries) for example, next month I have family members coming in from out of state and we are planing on going up to Seattle for a day. Quite doable with a gasoline powered car, not possible with the toy tesla

IMHO, the Chevy Volt is the only electric vehicle thats a real automobile and not a toy. By Toy I mean one is stuck with a 100+/- miles of driving then hours charging before driving again. A typical family would still need to have a gas car for longer range driving where as a Volt can be only electric powered for most commutes but still have have the normal range of a gasoline powered car.

ya right........ Oil companies pay BILLIONS in income taxes....... and the subsidies for oil companies you cling to are basically depreciation write offs that 90% of every business get. Just so you know, the oil companies pay far more in income taxes than they get back in the writes offs you speak of. show me one solar company or electric car maker that is pay ANY income taxes. BTW, its oil companies
