Dept. of Management

From a comment on a blog post about Gabor Somorjai, sent to me by David:

"He's also a real slave-driver. He once said to a friend of mine who was his grad student: 'Eef I thought eet vould make you vork har-r-rder (rolled 'r'), I vould SKVEEZE YOUR-R-R BALLS!'"

I have no further comment, but perhaps some of you might.

Fuck!

Things we learned from a seven-member grand jury yesterday:

- Vegan, bike-riding cops can do no wrong.
- Expect to see more instances of the "Two shots to make a guy drop a knife, two more to make sure there's no trial" strategy in 2010.
- When approached by a guy who's been attempting to kill himself with an X-acto knife, it's perfectly appropriate to reach for your gun first despite being equipped with a baton, a taser, and pepper spray.

But most of all:
- If you're mentally ill, you're disposable. If you're homeless, you're disposable. If you're both, a jury of Portlanders will work as hard as they can to let you know that your life doesn't matter.
