Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

Elections are fast approaching. City Club and League of Women Voters are sponsoring debates. The “chattering class” has begun a-chattering. I’m thinking the next several columns will likely be centered on politics, so this week I’m choosing the least partisan topic possible. I hope I will be able to describe and make relevant the Mennonites’ Fall Festival, happening this Saturday in Albany. That news hook provides the best opportunity for me to out myself as a Mennonite.

I liked best the idea of writing about Peter DeFazio’s power on Capitol Hill, but that story will keep for a year at least. Plus I’m in Washington, D.C. this week, so I can scare up some surprising angles on that one while I’m here.
