The recall will have a table at the upcoming Gun Show at the Portland EXPO center starting Friday at noon, for 3 days.

It’s time to end this crap once and for all.

I do care that Adams hired a completely unqualified “policy advisor” for important sustainability, planning and policy decisions in the city. This, given her lack of education, skills, experience and the amount of truly qualified applicants in the hiring pool. This shows cronyism given her close previous ties to the mayor through his friend Dan Savage and other connections, such as being close to city hall as a reporter for the Mercury. Cronyism is unethical and bad for government.

I do care that Adams has continually shown an egregious lack of leadership during his term in office. From prioritizing work on things like MLS over serious public health and safety budget issues, a crises at PDC over stalled projects, a 40% cut within many bureaus and other day-to-day operations in the city. I do care that he has chosen to go to Belgium on the public dime during a time when the city needs him here instead.

Well there you have it, so well written, so honest, sounds like a person that should not be ex-anything but still working for us all.

I think “KARMA” is here,or so close you can almost smell it from Sam’s vantage point.

Working against his EX-BOSS,an a host of others just like him, you learn pretty quickly, the rare, and I do mean RARE, public offical,that works for the basics of goverment, instead of these so-called…stupid, vision/nightmares he has gotten behind.

If July 1, rolls around and he hasn’t resigned, the recall must go and take him out or SAM, and Randy will be all our nightmares for along time to come…UNACCEPTABLE!

What I do care about is when a public official lies to smear an opponent out of a race. “He tried to rape Breedlove” thus reducing the choice for public citizens in a Public election.

I do care that he lied to his staff, and thus compromised their professional integrity and their choices for knowingly lying to the public. That’s immoral, unethical and wrong.

I do care that Adams chose to put his own emotions first over the city by simply going awol and not showing up to work for three days in January and that his staff could not get ahold of him. This, during one of the worst shootings downtown we have seen in some time. That’s lack of leadership, and anyone else would have been fired for simply not showing up to work without calling in first. In fact, it is clear city employee policy and is written as such.

Overall, like I said, who gives a rip about Sam’s sex life? It’s the chronic and continual lying, asking those around him to compromise their professional ethics and not being able to even address the most basic government and professional codes of conduct that bothers the hell out of me. That, and the fact that Adams has shown he can’t lead worth crap.

He needs to go.

Excluding of course those who film having sex with their poor pit bull, and other than that, who in the world else lies about their sex life?

Who in the freak has missed out on the big prominent and sexually suggestive gay billboards around Burnside and Broadway all these years, or the bondage sex costumes openly displayed in the windows on West Burnside, season in and season out, who of us (gay or straight) hasn’t at least once danced their toes into a mini pool of bloody sweat, stuffed into too tight sexy new shoes at The Embers, while glancing over and seeing someone from your Dr’s office, necking with someone of the gender you hadn’t really stopped to considered as their choice, but then it just caught you by surprise for a moment. Who of us hasn’t begged off from joining old college friends here to visit from out of town, when they asked to be dropped off at Mary’s after one two many Edgar Allen Poe martinis?

I mean…when it comes right down to it, who in this town hasn’t slipped into one of those big old antique beds at a compa ny Christmas party held at the Pittock mansion, when they’d mixed too much fois gras with the bubbly, and felt a bit Holiday risky frisky?

Seriously….who lies about their sex life or their friend’s sex lives these days anymore, in good old boring Oregon, the state that believe it or not, has been more accepting of what people do, regardless of gender, in their bedroom– or on some back road in an old filbert orchard under a warm starry starry sky in July….for a very very very long time.

I for one have been wondering since 2007 who is behind trying to brand Portland, an uptight and out of sight sexually repressed, morally oppressed, pious, prurient, witch hunting, bunch of fascist homophobes? This messaging is either coming from out of state, or a group that hasn’t been in state too very long and has something enormously to gain from telling someone else to play victim.

p.s. Am I the only person on earth who hasn’t lied about my sex life? I find that hard to believe. (I actually find it a very entertaining subject!)

HEY DOC..TAKE A PILL.

Kudos to Wade for being legit and speaking up, the rest of the idiots can say what they want but until they actually speak up as well, we’re going to be stuck with one sorry ass reputaion.

Hopefully this is a start in the right direction
