Pope Francis Delivers Sermon to Ashland Oregon City Hall Sinners

In Ashland Oregon the political scene is so divisive and corrosive that if a citizen has a difference of opinion contrary to the status-quo mindset of 5 of the 6 council people, that elected body will consider censure and censorship to shut out the expression of opposing views.

Censorship in Ashland Oregon: Wins Praise from the Putin “You Go Bro” Club

Ashland Oregon has a censorship problem. First the Outlandia Gazette was censored by the Ashland Library. Now a City Hall crony advocates censoring our voice of satire because he doesn’t like it.

Hera is sick to death of idiot old-thinking buffoonish white guys (kinda like her husband Zeus) who think they are more powerful than they are. Here’s her response to yet another mess in Ashland, Oregon. Read more »

Influence Peddling, Foolish Talking, and Coffee Slinging: More Tales from the City of Ashland Oregon

Which proves the theory that you can smack a Bu Bu over the head with a funny stick, but you can’t make him laugh. Hope y’all find the humor in our articles. Thanks for reading. Read more »
