Sam Adams, Beau Breedlove caught in web of lies, beer and too many name jokes to count

Here I was, taking some time to read up on Washington Blade news, and I click on "Calls made for openly gay Portland mayor's resignation."

I had no idea what I was about to read. OK, so it's not the most interesting story. It's a gay mayor/young intern boyfriend kind of a story, but c'mon — The mayor is Sam Adams? And the boyfriend? Beau Breedlove. The mayor won the election — he was running against, wait for it, wait for it, Bob Ball — and after he won, he apologized for having a relationship with Breedlove and keeping it a secret. You can read all the sordid (and kind of boring ) details yourself. Just revel in the deliciousness of the names.
