Carrick Flynn is getting the youth vote out. Out in the wilds of Bull Mountain you wouldn’t expect to meet the next generation stumping for their favorite congressional candidate, but there we were.

AMERICAN PRACTICE: VOTE LIKE IT MATTERS

October 19, 2020 by David Gillaspie

An American practice is like a medical practice: sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we get it right and it’s still wrong. If you’re old enough to vote, do it. Vote like it matters and encourage others to do the same. Voting is part of an American practice, like minding our own business and staying […]

BETTER LISTENING BY BETTER LISTENERS

September 24, 2020 by David Gillaspie

Reprint from the paper: Early Sunday morning there were campers in their tents, people lined up in the chow line, and young people patiently waiting their turn in the restroom, the one labeled “Men’s.” Occupy Portland staffed the first aid tent and the media desk while KBOO-FM 90.7 settled into their studio for the early […]

PEOPLE PERSON, PEOPLE PEOPLE, AND THE REST OF US

September 20, 2020 by David Gillaspie

The self-described people person needs back-up. Call it confirmation. Who calls themselves a people person? Isn’t that what others are supposed to say? “Stan is such a people person,” carries more weight than Stan saying it about himself. “Hello, I’m Stan, and I’m a people person?” What old Stan is saying is hold on tight.

MISUNDERSTOOD MAN GIVES ILLOGICAL INTERVIEW BOOMERPDX STYLE

September 11, 2020 by David Gillaspie

A misunderstood man, one who knows he’s been misunderstood, often explains how it’s all a big misunderstanding. That’s the good news. The bad news comes when a man works to elevate his basic misunderstanding to a level of believability. Hard to imagine? Depends on the audience. Take a look to see the difference.

BROTHER CHECK IN: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY

August 27, 2020 by David Gillaspie

A Facebook friend posted about a brother check, or check-in. Apparently he’s got lots of brothers, or he was using the inclusive ‘brother’ to remind everyone to check in with their loved ones during the corona virus pandemic. If you have a brother, a sister, or anyone you care about, what do you want to […]

ACCEPTABLE LOSSES? WHAT DOES ‘IT IS WHAT IT IS’ MEAN

August 6, 2020 by David Gillaspie

The idea of acceptable losses takes a sharp turn on the anniversary of Hiroshima. The death count from 75 years back is a consistent 140,000 in one fell swoop, give or take a few thousand. Atomicarchive.com breaks it down. Counting war death from a distance of time leaves some leeway for acceptable losses?

VOTER GUIDE PAMPHLET ADDRESSED TO ‘RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER’

May 19, 2020 by David Gillaspie

Who is the voter guide in your house, your apartment, your room, your shelter? When you open that ballot and it all looks like a mess, whose advice do you seek? I’ve got Malcolm Gladwell in my corner, his book Talking To Strangers under my ballot while I grind in another hard ink spot. It’s […]

GOVERNMENT GOALS: TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE

August 12, 2019 by David Gillaspie

Does it take a movie star, or blogger, to help get out the vote? Probably not, but it can’t hurt either, especially when the voter numbers look so sketchy. If the question is why vote, I know the answer.
