St. John the Divine Returns

Former governor John Kitzhaber has deigned to grace us with his presence. Oh be still my heart! He wants to transcend partisan differences - which is liberalspeak for runover any Republican opposition on the road to Big Government. I mean seriously, how could Oregon government not be good with St. John the Divine in charge? For example, who needs Obamacare when we have Kitzhaber's Oregon Health Plan for which employers are now about to pay a 1% tax on health insurance premiums to fund in addition to their income taxes. I suspect that we can expect more such non-partisan "solutions" if the ex-gov returns to power with a solid Democratic majority in both houses. If a $2.2 billion tax increase in this recession year was good, then I'm sure these "non-partisans" will think that $4.4 billion is even better to meet Oregon's "needs" which, of course, they define and control. But I digress in my enthusiasm. Stay tuned. Idaho is looking better and better.
