I'm thinking this is less about Oooguruk and more about the Nuna project. The rig gets shut down during the spring break up anyways, so that is to be expected, and all the winter activity stops as soon as the ice road goes out. However, I'm thinking Mr. Musselman is trying to strong arm Alaska to pay for the Nuna de...

3 posts in the the first 10 ? Can you say "obsession" ? Icon - you do not know if a Zygote is "alive" or not, you cannot prove it not alive, nor have you ever interviewed a dead "Zygote", and unless you posses some type of secret experience nobody else has, I am sure you do not remember being one.

You must be referring to the stupid idea of spending 50 million on village schools with 10 kids. Yes that is quite the stupid spending spree i would say. Funny how liberals think its a great idea though

I'm amazed that this arrest of a 65 years old, obviously mentally ill man who is not LBGT can lead people to hysterically link this incident to gender-neutral toilet facilities. A little secret to share with all you fearful types...there was at least one gender neutral rest room on the UO campus in 1980.

Probably in South Eugene, but so what? His points are still valid. I live in North Eugene but regularly travel to the Ridgeline trailheads to access some of the best hiking and natural settings around, it's worth the trip. I feel very fortunate to have that available in my "backyard", most cities do not.

Okay, 25 years. Now done with the emotional rush, who's gonna pay. At 25 years, we are looking at $2 million plus for the sentence.

I wonder how much it would have cost to exercise the City's power of Eminent Domain and taken the EWEB Building for itself? They have the legal power to do such things as long as they pay 'fair market value' for the property as determined by a Judge. Maybe cheaper than what the current debacle is going to cost?
