Pitch perfect

Driving back from Florence today, I saw a big "Vote Saxton" sign in the middle of a roadside clearcut.

Disingenuous

I just caught the latest Saxton ad on education (in the left-hand gutter under TV Spots: "Powerful") and noticed something a little fishy. He cites poor grades for Oregon schools from this report card on higher education (grades that are attributable to the gutting of funding for higher ed), but then proposes "reforms" that are mainly targeted at the K-12 systems. That's quite the leap.

Looks like I wasn't the only one who noticed:

Look before you leap

Before stirring up nativist hatred against the réconquista, it appears that Ron Saxton should have made sure his own house was in order.

Saxton's not only a hypocrite, he's also a pretty rotten human being taboot. And he has beady eyes.
