Things Do Indeed Look Different Here

Oregon used to have an advertising slogan promoting travel to our state: "Things look different here!" No kidding. How different? Well, the Senate just confirmed Christopher Wray as the new FBI Director on a vote of 92-5. That's an unbelievably bipartisan vote in these days of hyper-partisanship but guess which state's senators - both of them - were on the short end of the vote? Yup, Wyden and Merkley from Oregon. I guess when you have your head where they do it does look different. Not better, but definitely different.
