Speaking of cash cows, it looks like local starchitects Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill will be continuing to ride the Dubai money train until they have enough cash to start taking disposable yachts to work every day. It's just been announced that the firm has been awarded yet another contract in the capitol of crazy building in the United Arab Emirates. This time around, they've been hired by Meraas Development to design and build a series of towers, as well as three additional projects, combined for a whopping total of $15 billion dollars. Here's a bit about one of the projects, which should be, like all things Dubai, insanely grandiose: 1 Dubai , which will consist of three interconnected towers, each taller than 2,000 feet, housing hotels, offices, shops and condominiums. The mega-structure would have more than 13 million square feet, making it one of the world's largest as well as tallest complexes. The developer still must acquire land, Smith said.

Most Oregonians know by now that Gordon Smith voted for a war that costs taxpayers $10 billion a month and sided with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time. But in addition to Gordon's spending spree -- voting for giant tax breaks for corporations that need it least and refusing to say no to special interest goody after goody -- Gordon Smith also chaired the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Long-Term Growth and Debt Reduction. How'd that turn out? Well, late last month, our nation hit a truly dubious milestone: Times Square's debt clock has run out of space. From... ...

Ouch. You can watch the entire debate at KGW.com - parts 1, 2, 3. Update: Just came across this great line from the MOMocrats liveblog: MY JAW JUST FELL ON THE FLOOR, WHICH WAS THAT SMASHING SOUND YOU HEARD. Umm, someone maybe wanna whisper in Gordo's ear that she's the governor of ALASKA???? Holy crackers and toast. That was the gaffe of all gaffes.

She captures the essence of the back-and-forth without transcripting -- while inserting plenty of hilarious and insightful commentary. Check it... ...

Andrew Sullivan - a top-tier blogger who happens to be a conservative pro-Obama British gay man - takes note of Gordon Smith's latest ad, and nods approvingly: A faithful Mormon and a real conservative, Gordon Smith runs an ad touting his inclusiveness. I'd like to vouch for him, especially on gay and HIV issues. He's one of the good guys. Sorry, Andrew, you're a great blogger - but out here in Oregon, we know the truth: While Gordon Smith's hate-crimes proposal is generally favored by liberals, he has been 1) utterly ineffective in getting it passed, and 2) alternately dismissive... ...

With the economy tanking and so many people out of work, and in the spirit of bipartisanship cooperation, the Democratic Party of Oregon is helping Republican Senator Gordon Smith fill the position of scheduler in his campaign office . The ad is brief, and the duties don't seem to be too difficult: Applicant must ensure Smith shows up for publicized appearances. Applicant must also disclose proof of Smith’s travel throughout the state better than Democratic Party of Oregon. You see Gordon Smith has a problem with not showing up for appearances at events where he's scheduled to be, which has contributed to not being in all 36 Oregon counties each year, despite his professions to the contrary. Just yesterday we learned Smith won’t speak at Cascade AIDS Project’s annual AIDS Walk Portland. “It's busy back in D.C. right now with the budget crisis and all, and there was a miscommunication out of Smith's office. Although it was CAP's intention to have Smith speak, his schedulers had never actually put it on his calendar. Oops. So Smith is going to be a no-show.” (Willamette Week Online, 10-7-08) Today, Smith reached all the way to his hometown to brush off a publicized appearance. “Sen. Gordon Smith not to appear” (East Oregonian Headline, 10-8-08) “Sen. Gordon Smith was mistakenly listed among the attendees at this evening's Day of Culture celebration at Pendleton Center for the Arts due to a miscommunication.” (East Oregonian, 10-8-0 ...

Gordon Smith last ran for reelection in 2002. That was a mere 3 weeks after he voted yes to authorize the Iraq war. He has since, quite famously, turned against the war. It has been six years, so the expectation is that the public has forgotten about his position on the issue. I wonder, however, [...] ...
