As I was perusing my e-mail box the other day, another message looking like what I call "scare-mail" popped into sight from grandma. Granny is quite fond of sending me tales that have been forwarded on, warning me about walking to my car alone after leaving the mall, informing me of salmonella-laced jalapeños, telling me to call this number so the telemarketers will leave me alone, or letting me know when the next great quake is probably going to rattle California loose from its topsoil.

I've been trying to think of various (legal) ways to make some fast cash, and a recent conversation led me to a compelling prospect: egg donation. Heck, I'm not using my eggs. Why not sell them to someone who's willing to pay top dollar for them? It's a free market, right? People and organizations will pay thousands for an egg donor, I was told recently.

In a time when the "war on drugs" can be considered a huge waste of time and resources and smoking pot is considered mainstream, how does the owner of a community-welcomed medicinal marijuana dispensary get arrested and convicted of multiple felonies?

Haven't the Olympics been great so far?
Okay enough of that.
Perhaps even more surprising than the U.S. victory in the men's 400 meter relay is that Disney will no longer allow guests to turn in written complaints or compliments regarding its theme parks.

In my experience, defenders of abortion, contraception and Planned Parenthood have one main thing in common: they obfuscate and try to cloud the argument.
Sara Gwin's response to my last column was predictably filled with enough rhetorical straw men and red herrings to be the journalistic equivalent of the Scarecrow falling into a giant vat of Swedish Fish.

In the July 23 issue of The Summer Barometer, my colleague, Dan Fitzpatrick, penned a seething attack on Planned Parenthood - in particular, the new one in the process of being built in Northeast Portland.
Like many other anti-choice zealots, Fitzpatrick equates PP solely with abortion, and even claimed "it sells people contraception that often is ineffective, so when it fails, its customers can return and demand medical treatment.
