After almost two and a half years of ruminating and then eventually fulminating, self-proclaimed “journalist” Curtis Hayden of the Sneaky Preview publication is still miffed that he doesn’t understand satire and doesn’t understand why women don’t obey him and doesn’t understand why his piss-poor reporting (hence the term “yellow journalism”) is stinky. Let us womansplain it to ya! …Read more »
To anyone who denies climate change, all you have to do is spend some time in this quaint town. What used to have tolerable seasons of political discourse, has now morphed into a climate of vitriol, animosity, and swiping lawn signs from each others’ yards. Not unlike the rest of America, here’s the lowdown and showdown of a particularly sweaty, uncomfortable summer. …Read more »
The Insurrection on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 was an attack on democracy. The same type of coup was attempted on June 29, 2021 in Ashland, Oregon. Four councilpersons conspired to thwart the will of the voters. An illegal motion was passed to allow two councilors to read defamatory testimonies to vilify the new administration. This display of anarchy was as ugly in Ashland as it was in Washington, D.C. (only without the violence!) …Read more »
The continuing troubles in Ashland, Oregon and the troubling minds that run City Hall and two-thirds of City Council are illustrated by the objections to a popular anti-racism fence.
[The publisher would also like to thank the founders of the Black Lives Matter Movement: Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi.] …Read more »
Gustav the Ghost of New Year’s Future returns to the Ashland Oregon party to continue with his futuristic learning adventures. He grabs another BuBu (bumbling bureaucrat) to view how disastrous the BuBu’s unexamined life could very well become. Can an old-thinking white guy change his headed-to-hell ways? Only Gustav knows for sure. But the not-pretty picture presented in this Gazette story is why the BuBu should want to. Like his future depends on it. …Read more »
It was mischief galore at the New Year’s Eve celebration of Ashland Oregon’s City Hall. Food and booze were plentiful. Mask-wearing was not. After the party the Oregon Department of Health and Common Sense ordered a haz-mat team to decontaminate the venue. They found the most germs, misbehavior, and bumbling bureaucrats (BuBu’s) per square foot than any other city in Oregon. The Outlandia Gazette reports on their misdeeds: Why the BuBu’s have chosen to operate without regard to the town’s well-being. …Read more »
Ashland’s City Hall personnel and crony coalition of ne’er-do-wells gets a startling glimpse into their future… Proving the theory that you reap what you sow… Which in the negative sense with these folks it turns out to be downright horrifying. …Read more »
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. He thinks it “has no place in this town.” Possibly one of the stupidest sentences we have ever heard and we have been at this copy desk a long time. Here is our response to trashing the First Amendment. And yet another example of the punitive patriarchal mindset polarizing this town. …Read more »
The French have a saying: A chacun son gout. Literal translation: “To each his own.” Idiomatic translation: “There’s no accounting for taste.” This is especially true in the political arena, like in Ashland, Oregon. To paraphrase MLK, Jr., people should be judged on the content of their character. We agree. We also think we have great taste when it comes to serving up a tasty spoof of the bumbling political scene in this town. …Read more »
Once upon a time sleazoid lawyer Michael Cohen would have done anything for his boss, President Golden Showers. But times have changed. That’s what prison will do for you. Michael now wants to finally rule his own life–be king of his own show–to show his old boss who is the new boss of Reality TV. No better place to look for sleazy contestants than in Ashland, Oregon’s City Hall. …Read more »
