In all seriousness I have to agree with Vitalogy I think fluoridation should be in the water, and Correct me if Im wrong but all MAJOR cities have Floridated their water, so why isn't multnomah County? My 1 year old niece cant take real toothpaste with flouride in it because it burns her mouth so she has to use kids toothpaste with no fluoride. The only place she is getting fluoride is from the water.

Sorry Chris, scientific facts prove you wrong. Floridation works. Portland voters didn't do their homework, they fell for the BS.

It's not Merritt Paulsen's fault the Beavers left town. The fan support for MLS was there; support for AAA baseball, not so much.

Well... would you rather have someone piped in from another market who's never set foot in PDX but pretending to be in town? At least Alpha has live in-studio hosts.

I've noticed issues on Sunday nights on KEX listening to Bill Cunningham. Either they play segments out-of-sequence, or they repeat segments from the previous week. I'd call the station to ask what's up, but probably, nobody would answer.

So, Seattle kinda made fun of PDX today with this: <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2013/05/22/portland-defeats-fluoride-again/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2013/05/22/portland-defeats-fluoride-again/</a> And it actually was worse for awhile this morning when the PI had the headline, (paraphrasing) "Portland disapproves fluoride, approves tooth decay". That headline was removed pretty quickly. Who knows? I lived the first 30 years of my life in Seattle, with fluoride, and never had a cavity until I moved to Alaska in '96 at age 37. I credit Seattle's fluoridation with this, however, I can't discount genetics, but really. I'm still alive approaching my 54th birthday. So I assume you can guess my opinion on this issue.

I wouldn't personally support anything regarding Eliot Spitzer. While I agree with his politics, I think he was a hypocrite, so I wouldn't vote for him if I had the chance.

Deane is an old white man living in a state that takes in more money than they send into the Treasury (meaning those states are subsidized by me paying for you). Those that live subsidized lives should shut up.

RadioBuggie on "Radio-info drops Radio Discussion"

RadioBuggie — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:44:41 +0000

UPDATE from RBR.COM: Streamline Acquires RadioDiscussions.Com ---------------------------------------------------- Streamline Digital Inc., a division of Streamline Publishing Inc., has acquired the Radio Discussions message boards (www.radiodiscussions.com) from In3Media, operated by Diana Fleming. The popular boards were originally the discussion arm of In3Media’s Radio-Info.com site, and were retained when In3Media sold Radio-Info. Streamline Publishing CEO Jim Robinson said, “This is a perfect fit for Streamline’s Radio Ink and RBR-TVBR news brands.” These three strong individual businesses provide distinctly valuable content to our audiences, and effective environments for our marketing partners. We are dedicated to keeping readers current on news and the media conversations that are trending. The social interactivity of the discussion boards is the right complement to Radio Ink and RBR-TVBR.” The popular Radio Discussions boards offer thousands of active conversations in well over 100 geographical, format-based, technical, and other categories related to radio, television, and digital media. The boards have more than 40,000 registered users, and attract 150,000-200,000 unique visitors each month. B. Eric Rhoads, chairman and founder of Streamline Publishing, stated, “We’re investing heavily to grow our digital services in the broadcasting industry to give the radio and television industries deeper sources of information, and to give our advertisers a platform with which to grow their businesses. These discussion boards attract significant amounts of traffic and give us the opportunity to offer wide reach across multiple interest groups and to offer geographic targeting.” Streamline Publishing, which earlier this year acquired Radio & Television Business Report, will expand the television section of the boards and encourage conversations about news and current events in the media industry. There are no plans to alter the boards’ moderation policies or structure with the transition. <a href="http://rbr.com/streamline-acquires-radio-discussions-com/" rel="nofollow">http://rbr.com/streamline-acquires-radio-discussions-com/</a>

Deane, it's becoming more and more apparent you and the rest of the CON ilk have some sort of secret sexual attraction to Obummer. You had the same problem with Slick Willy and even after a decade plus you still rail on him. I guess you get a MAJOR boner when thinking about him. It's kind of gross thinking about you and LimBLAH sitting around a table in a circle jerk thinking about Bill Clinton.... You should seek professional help soon.....

Trixter, it's becoming more and more apparent you have some sort of secret sexual attraction to Bush. He's on your mind at all times with your constant posts about him. You apparently can't stop. By any chance, does your little thingy stand up when you think about him when you're posting? Tell us about it. We're your friends, you can share with us in confidence.

"my sincere condolences" W.T.F. I said "liberal side of the middle". Operative word having been "middle". What do you do, just lurk in the bushes waiting for some unsuspecting half-way liberal to make a comment so you can spew your venom? Get a job.

Randy, I'm certain that I have mentioned the great radio jocks out of The Windy City, either here or on another site, but I can't keep track anymore. Chicago Hall of Fame: ranked IMO 1. Larry Lujack (sarcasm, great voice, excellent timing, ability to get personal) last status: retired, after an attempted comeback in Chicago in the mid-2000's that didn't work out 2. Fred Winston (fantastic voice, odd sense of humor, ability to laugh at himself) last status: not sure, but I think some Chi-town radio in the past decade 3. John Records Landecker (perfected the mass phone bit, "boogie-check" in his case, also very off the wall humor. Last status: talk radio 4. Big Ron O'Brien (solid basics, plus a little more when you least expect it) Last status: passed away 2008 5. Bob Sirott (worked in PDX, very natural on the air, low-key but great humor) Last status: On WGN as a talker after some tv at WMAQ NBC as anchor.

When I lived in California, I swear there was a Weiner-Spitzer just down the street. Oh, sorry, that was a Weinerschnitzel. As for Blooomburg, he is helping the construction industry all over NYC, due to having to build taller podium stages.

Does anyone here realize what could happen if they were to tangle with such a powerful, politicized agency? People can serve time, lose their life savings and/or livelihood, or simply be wrongfully smeared. This absolutely should not be a partisan issue. As I said, Mr. Nixon was wrong to politicize this agency, as is the current administration. If politics should never be an issue, it is here. Anything else is just asking for problems. Special prosecutor, anyone? 'In my experience, a legal counsel never would believe that there was information that was appropriate for the chief of staff to know but that was inappropriate for the president to know. Out of all the news that has emerged regarding the Obama IRS scandal, this is the most curious whopper I’ve heard so far. I can’t wait to.' <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2013/05/22/the-insiders-a-special-prosecutor-in-the-irs-matter-is-inevitable/" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2013/05/22/the-insiders-a-special-prosecutor-in-the-irs-matter-is-inevitable/</a>

What about Ron "UGLY" Thompson. ?? The KISN Dj who would wear a ski mask/paper bag over his head while on the air. Rumor has it he was actually an "italian stallion" who slept with more women than Wilt Chamberlain. <a href="http://www.stumptownblogger.com/2012/11/meet-ron-ugly-thompson.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.stumptownblogger.com/2012/11/meet-ron-ugly-thompson.html</a>

I live in Washington County so Ive been getting fluoride in my water. I'm glad it didn't pass for Multnomah County because I don't think the water needs to be messed with. Even with my water having fluoride in it, I still get cavities. Hmmm .....The snickers bar and Can of coke I have for breakfast every morning probably isn't helping much

I'd add KISN's Michael O'Brien to the list! Likely to be the funniest man ever to sit before a KISN microphone. The Real Don Steele was a great voice who did great radio, too. And funny, yes! Tina Delgardo is alive! A n d. . .what about Dave "Record" Stone? His passion as a DJ can still be heard in everything he does. We're lucky to still have him at work in this town (albeit online)! Best, Mike

"Ignorance won this vote, that's for sure." For all the bitching and griping you throw at the faith community for being judgmental, you are often guilty of it, too. I voted "no" on the measure. It was based on asking questions, reading all kinds of literature and then formulating a conclusion. Hardly ignorant. Your conclusion, based on different information or maybe some of the same, was YOUR informed decision. I felt confident that Portlander's would defeat this soundly. Which they have done in the past. Now, can we use some of the money that was wasted on this campaign and begin to educate kids, and their parents, about poor eating habits that can lead to tooth decay.

"fiscal conservative and social liberal" is the "in" thing in NYC. Has been for years. It's not cool to be something else.

You're wrong. He's a fiscal conservative and social liberal, which makes him quite the opposite of what your opinion is of him. And, look at well things are going for NYC. He's done a good job. Not to mention he's a smart, succussful businessman.

In other excellent news, Martin Gonzalez was defeated. (By a big-budget opponent, but hey better than nothing.) And, for a change, we had an election that didn't revolve around abortion, guns, gay marriage, or climate change/global warming. Rather refreshing. In modern times, soft drinks, sweet snacks, and the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup have not been kind to teeth. The Master of Disaster agrees, and the State of Washington tried to do the right thing by taxing them in addition to the sales taxes they already put on said items. We all know how well that went over.
