this was a fun discovery. from May 2006:
Congressman Earl Blumenauer representing Oregon's 3rd congressional district on Colbert's "Better Know a District". loved Steven's intro about the state, and his comment, "your obsession with bicycling borders on the interesting." he's referring to Blumenauer's obsession, but i think the comment can be extrapolated to apply to a good portion of the Oregon population. i mean that as a compliment.
i found the video after following a link from this post on bikeportland.org, informing readers that Blumenauer will be at City Hall next week for "a roundtable discussion with local bike advocates and insiders." from the post:
In addition, Blumenauer plans to share the latest on his progress to push the pedals on bike issues at the federal level. He recently got his Bike Commuter Benefits Act into the Energy Bill and is a driving force behind an effort to “Green the Capitol” by encouraging bike use and improving bike facilities.
so, bikes = good. Colbert Report = funny. and, in an unrelated topic, photos from Saturday's downtown photo scavenger hunt = coming soon.
