So is "extreme eating" a job requirement for Bus Project Political Director? It seems like Henry Kraemer is always force fed something at these events in order to sign up new members.

@Tony: He loves it. It's a metaphor for his appetite for change and stimulating democracy.

Just don't try to steal any of his beef stroganoff, if you're ever sitting next to him while he's consuming said dish. He'll smack you up.

Is it an essential qualification to run for Portland city commissioner that one must a white man? Who is vetting these clowns?
These 2010 Portland city council candidates are clearly deluded narcissists . They’re as pitifully unqualified to hold elected office as a an unemployed guy with a GED is unqualified to represent himself to be entrusted and paid for doing home repairs or moving furniture with his pick up truck. They’re agenda is essentially selfish, to monopolize candidates’ debates and force press to interview them. These folks are NOT game changers in the fishbowl of PDX frontier politics. The comments of these self-appointed political amateurs makes me cringe in embarrassment. Who - other than their inner circle of yes men - thinks running a slate of 'social agenda' wanna-be candidates (with the possible exception of the Sylvia Evans, african American woman running for Fishy's seat, whose acquired her credentials and legitimacy in the same way Amana Fritz earned hers’, through years of committed and effective community organizing) as coattails of the Obama's change agenda is not winnable strategy. Watching politics-in-play in Portland Oregon is like watching bloated gold fish swimming in murky yellowed tabletop bowls - careening off the bowl’s sides only to bump into each other.

@notfanofbullypulpit: So you saying that Volm isn't a real candidate?

(Not passing judgment on you, (maybe on her though,) I'm just asking the question...)

Yeah, I agree with notfanofbullypulpit, Mary Volm is not qualified to hold this office.
