12 Lanes

We like these signs of dissent.

By WW Editorial Staff

A rally April 5 against a 12-lane Columbia River Crossing featured many articulate speakers among those who showed up at Waterfront Park on a Sunday at noon. They conveyed the myriad Roguish reasons why a dozen lanes sucks for the environment.

But how about those protest signs! First place goes to the demonically adorable little boy whose sign said: "The road to hell has a 12 lane bridge." Runners-up: "Is Palin in Portland" and "Adams Leonard are 12 lanes of EGO." Glad to know all those creative-writing degrees in Portland are going to good use.
