The rickrolling-inspired vid was posted on 1 April, and went viral earlier this week. It was the brainchild of Portland Democrat Jefferson Smith, who conspired with fellow House members to insert Astley into a month-long legislative session. He told Reuters: "It seemed non-time-consuming, funny and positive. Our country is facing some real partisan toxin. Any break from that seems not terrible." Fellow Democrat Lew Frederick explained to AP: "You just never knew when someone was going to bring it up. When they did, there was always sort of a mild chuckle among the folks who knew what was going on." Republican Vicki Berger provided the vital "ooh". She said: "We do really work hard. But that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun and say 'ooh' on the floor." Vic Gilliam, another Republican conspirator, concluded: "It was silly, but it was a great thing to sit back and laugh at ourselves and let other people laugh as well.

It's good to see something happening in Oregon because usually it's just an infinite void of complete nothingness outside of Salem, Portland, and Cannon Beach. Even those 3 places can be pretty meh.

I think every city can be slightly boring. Portland hardly sleeps so its always a blast. As for the smaller cities they can get a bit bland.

I do like how the Horse Racing track is conveniently near the metro area.. too bad it's horribly run down, used to be a nice place to chill in the 90's.

Yeah I know what you mean nowadays its all "hipster" territory in Portland. Can't even enjoy a day downtown. As for Seattle I've only been in the airport as a flight stop so I really don't have to much knowledge about it. EDIT:Spelling. Edited by Aleks, Apr 17 2011, 01:19 AM.
