THANK YOU, DISILLUSIONMENT: An item I've been meaning to mention for a few weeks -- I think we've found one of the finalists in the 2004 competition for Best Political Column Invoking The Lyrics Of Alanis Morrisette. (Yes, I know you've been concerned about the lack of entries to-date.)
Former Oregon labor commissioner Jack Roberts' May 11 column in The Oregonian tackled once-beloved former Portland mayor Neal Goldschmidt, his recently revealed hidden "relationship" with a 14-year-old girl back in the 1970s (please, can we call it what it was -- child molestation?), and Morrisette's unfortunately ignored 2002 single, "Hands Clean". Somehow, he pulls it off. Good writing.
