What I learned this week

I learned that you can call the President of the United States a liar, hint that he's got big unresolved Freudian issues, and strongly imply he's a crook--and Portland yawns.

But poke your nose into a story about cyclists and motor vehicles, and you're suddenly going to discover a lot of people ready to seriously unburden themselves about some extremely heartfelt opinions.

Whew. I stand chastened.
