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He does, however, succeed at being an outdated, inept politician. …Read more »

What Fresh Hell Is This? More blatherings from over-the-hill politicians in Ashland, Oregon.

There are two measures on the ballot to be voted upon by the residents of Ashland, Oregon. Measure 15-189 involves switching the city government from a Mayor/City Administor structure to City Manager/Mayor. We on the editorial staff have been acquainted with only two mayors–both of which did not earn our respect for quality governing. Therefore, we recommend a YES vote to make this change to make Ashland a better city. And which hopefully will deflate the egos and influence of these two mayors. Measure 15-193 is about taxing the already financially-strapped citizenry to pay for a remodel of the City Hall building. This should be a time for civic austerity. Not a chance to construct fancy digs for city hall employees when businesses are failing and no one is helping them. Not a chance for self-serving politicians to get to brag, “Look what I got built!” Not a chance for public servants to serve themselves instead of who they are handsomely paid to serve. Therefore we recommend a resounding NO on this vanity project. …Read more »
