Team of Detectives Cracks the Case: PostcardGate in Ashland Oregon

Nastiness. Corruption. Pettiness. Not new in Ashland Oregon City Hall politics. However, the divisiveness in this election cycle has fallen to new depths. So much disinformation being spewed on-line and in The Tidings newspaper, it is hard to tell fact from fiction. One person’s “radicalization” is another person’s “no more status quo.” Here is our input about the Shaun-Sham bogus political postcard. Decide for yourselves who is responsible for this written hatchet job. …Read more »

Ashland Oregon Councilman Stephen Jensen Honored by Cognitive Himpairment Society

If you asked the average person where the most cognitively himpaired males could be found, the answer might be Washington, D.C. Or Florida. Or Texas. Or Hollywood. All of those responses would be incorrect. Recently-published research has revealed that per square foot, the greatest concentration of addle-brained males is in fact in Ashland, Oregon. Here’s confirmation of that scientific finding. …Read more »

Help From On High: Hera Descends from the Heavens onto Ashland Oregon

Greek Goddess Hera–ruler of the heavens–and number two deity on Mt. Olympus (with number one being on an old white guy with a lighting bolt problem) makes a rare appearance on mortal ground: Ashland, Oregon. The reason: A nasty email sent by an Ashland City Councilman that accuses an Ashland citizen of invoking a racial slur. 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

The Outlandia Gazette has been under fire by those we have satirized. Nothing we can’t handle! They’re like a pea shooter launching limp peas against an AK-47. Our artillery required we carefully explain exactly what satire is to these Bumbling Bureaucrats. They still didn’t get it. 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 »

Race Baiting in Ashland Oregon: Get Your Crackers and Your Accusations Correct — Or Better Call Saul

Councilman Rich Rosenthal from Ashland Oregon uses race-baiting tactics to criticize an issue of the Outlandia Gazette. He fails to present a cogent argument to his claims of a “racial slur.” He fails to understand the concept of satire. He fails to obey copyright infringement laws. He does, however, succeed at being an outdated, inept politician. …Read more »

Ashland Oregon is Full of Graham Crackers: Does Not Bode Well for a Nutritious Future

Much like the chaotic predicament in the U.S.A. right now, Ashland Oregon is at a crossroad. Due to inept, dishonest, white-male-dominated government, this town is in danger of losing its viability as a financially-sound, socially-equal, attractive to new business development, creative, compassionate, affordable community. Like America, the future of Ashland is headed down one of two paths. A barren road controlled by the old guard and leading to the extinction of our ideals. Or a fertile expressway loaded with 21st century ideas, economic stability, opportunity, kindness, less government intrusion, and social harmony for all. Come November, it’s all up to the voters. Choose wisely. Your future and future generations depend on it. …Read more »

Dumber than Idiotic Government Encountered at Ashland Oregon City Hall

Currently on display across America is the corruption of political institutions–from the White House on down–to the Senate to the Justice Department to States to police departments, etc. A good example is in Ashland, Oregon. Less than two months ago Ashland’s citizens voted two to one for a bond measure to change the power structure of City Hall–away from the mayor and given to a city manager. Implicit in the bond was the opportunity to conduct a far-reaching executive search to be able to hire the best professional from outside the City and not someone beholden to the overly cronyistic administration of Mayor John Stromberg. In a blatant “thumb your nose” (or perhaps a digit in the middle of the hand was used?) at the electorate, the Ashland City Council is poised to give this coveted (and highest-paid position) to a member of the old-thinking good ol’ boys club that has plagued the integrity and economic stability of this City for years. …Read more »

Rosebud Media: You Are Part of the Problem

America at its ugliest: Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Jr., Tanisha Anderson, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Oscar Grant, Amadou Diallo, Dante Parker, Rayshard Brooks, Travon Martin, Breona Taylor, George Floyd. And so many others. Senseless brutal killings and deaths. All because of skin color. America at its best: Owning up to the systemic racism in our culture and doing something about it. Like spreading awareness that the dominant view of America through white people’s eyes must be eradicated. Like a bad virus. Getting rid of an inappropriate photograph in a local newspaper is a start. …Read more »
