YesterdayIf you haven't noticed, the Scientologists have a brand new storefront in downtown Portland and it's awesome. If you'd like to watch promotional DVDs while feeling like the men in suits who watch your every move might murder you, then this is definitely the place for you.

May 1I'm going to set aside an actual discussion of the pros/cons to adding fluoride to our drinking water because that's what the good people at Clean Water Portland have done. Let's instead look at how they're trying to market their cause.
