BREAKING NEWS: THE WAR ON VALENTINE'S DAY

Lars Larson has no plans to dress as Cupid to protest all the player haters out there this Valentine’s Day, but he still may hide Easter Eggs around Pioneer Square when that rolls around. As a postscript to the War on Christmas, I thought my band, the Lighter Notes, provided the perfect touch: Early in December we played a swanky auction at the Doubletree Hotel that raised a lot of money for the Portland Jewish Academy. Then I made a CD of our performance that I gave my family as Christmas gifts. See, we really are all one.
Meanwhile, Pat Robertson had his on-location Biblical theme park canceled by Israel after his pointlessly stupid comments about Sharon. So Pat has been tossed from what he calls God’s land. Gosh, an American fundamentalist not thinking through the reaction on the ground in the Middle East. Hmm, where have I heard that before?
