Kelsea Ballerini, Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha are latest stars to be hit onstage by fan-thrown objects. What the hell’s this rash of throwing stuff all about? The idiots responsible are one step away from singers and bands doing live performances behind a hog-wire fence, just like in a rowdy bar. I remember dancing to Tanya Tucker live at Billy Bob’s back in my younger days, and a stage wrapped in woven wire would’ve ruined the experience.

Eugene group says EPD threatened action against food handout program. Gee, I wonder why. Doesn’t everybody remember how the city let the park become one massive canvas condo development during the Chinese virus days? Or that it cost $1.2 million to haul off the contaminated soil, replant the grass, and put it back like it was before the bums moved in? Truth be known, issuing a permit for a group to bait the bums with free food to return to the area is like attracting a moth to a flame. It’ll tear up the ground again and remind taxpayers of the money they spent to fix things after the city’s horrible decision that turned it into a mud pit in the first place. Yessiree – if the City of Eugene weren’t known for throwing good money after bad, they wouldn’t be known for anything at all.

Alligator found in Louisiana home reportedly sneaked in through dog door: ‘I jumped back.’ The ubiquitous “doggie door” strikes again. Stories of raccoons and coyotes using the doors to gain access to a house in search of food were bad enough. How’d you like to be confronted by a 5-foot alligator looking for a snack? How often does this have to happen before people start to rethink the hole they cut in their door, get off their lazy asses, and take the dog for a walk themselves instead of letting their 4-legged kid use the self-serve doggie exit?

Hanwha Qcells proposes giant solar project on Willamette Valley farmland. It’s bad enough that these tree-huggin’ earthfirsters want to displace agricultural land to plant their damned solar farms, but the fact that their strings are being pulled by the foreign manufacturer of the solar cells makes it worse.
