Portland's daily newspaper, the Oregonian, and Oregon Public Broadcasting have given serious coverage to the argument that Bush allies may have set the fire.

Why would they cover that? It's leftist wacko hooey. Oh, never mind.

"They were Chinook military helicopters -- huge things with round noses. There were three of them, and they were moving in tight formation, lollygagging over the woods, zigzagging near [the town of] Sisters and out toward Black Butte," some 25 miles to the northwest.

LOL At least get their pictures right. I have a great picture of hubby's CH-47 dumping water on Mt. Ranier but I can't format the damned thing to post.

Malone noted that many Sisters residents still remember Layton and Bartlett, a Bend logging firm whose principals were, in 1990, found guilty of illegally cutting 1,800 trees -- federally protected old-growth -- about 10 miles south of Sisters. James W. Layton and Frederick W. Bartlett each drew 18 months in federal prison.

Remind me, who was President in 1990?

Is this story a spoof? There's odd stuff in it, e.g., the following:

"Chuck," Berry said, "I hope what I see out there is a cloud."

"This is way out in the middle of Bumfuck, Egypt."

Chuck Berry? Bumfuck? This has got to be a joke.

When Schwarzenegger becomes Governor of Kolly-vornia, expect more of these things.

Expect left-wing militia groups to form.

Expect Howard Dean to talk about black helicopters, the Bildebergers, the secret conspiracy of the Federal Reserve, and the Protocols of Zion.

Expect Hillary Clinton to start broadcasting on shortwave radio as "Hillary of Chappaqua."

Expect Ted Kennedy to write Behold a Pale Pony, about how the Jason Society, the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission are all in a secret conspiracy with the aliens from Dulce, New Mexico and Area 51.

"Bumfuck, Egypt" is an expression for a place way out in the boonies. I've heard it used before.

Isn't Salon bankrupt (we know they're MORALLY bankrupt but haven't they run out of funds yet?)

Would be enlightening to see who's bankrolling their lame Photoshopping.

I read it somewhere here today....the Rats are going from Angry to Berzerk. Just wait until Californicate is in their "lost" column. They're doing everything they can to keep it - slinging dirt in the press, organizing hit squads to deep six the opposition,opening the borders, voter fraud.....every trick in the book...but you know, the harder someone flails about trying to get free of the quicksand, the faster they sink below the surface.

The more shrill they get, the more converts AWAY from their cause. They're like the underground folk in Beneath The Planet Of The Apes....the masks are coming off.

Chinook with a round nose?

CH47 *Chinook* aircraft nose covers:

The Forward Canopy Cover is designed to cover the windshield, side windows and nose. The cover attaches to the airframe in four locations. At the lower corners on either side, straps attach to tie rings near the landing gear struts. At the upper corners a strap goes around the forward rotor mast. These straps are secured and tightened with non-metal, durable Delrin buckles, sewn onto the cover at the attach points. Pockets are sewn into the cover to accommodate temperature probe, pitot and antennae placements. Extra reinforcement is added to the cover in the windshield wiper area. The canopy cover is available in a variety of colors, all featuring a soft lining on the underside.

Our standard material, Silver Laminate is a proprietary material developed especially for aircraft protection. The outer material is a medium weight nylon treated for ultraviolet resistance and anti-static buildup. The inner lining is brushed nylon tricot knit. Silver Laminate is extremely reflective. Tests show that the cabin interior temperature can be reduced by as much as 25° F. It is water, ice and snow repellent, yet it is breathable enough to allow moisture to escape from between the cover and the windshield surface. Silver Laminate contains no hydrocarbon compounds which can harm plexiglass windshields and acrylic finishes.

The Special Op's Windshield/Nose Cover is similar in design to the standard Windshield/Nose Cover except that it also has special-fit pockets for the Radar and Flir domes, and allows the refuel boom to pass through. Most of the covers of this type are made of a special nylon which has a soft nylon lining laminated to the inner surface.

Windshield and Skylight HeatShields are made of Mylar Laminate, a metallized film laminated to a thin sheet of closed cell foam. This material is extremely reflective and posseses excellent insulating properties. Skylight HeatShields install simply by placing them next to the interior side of each skylight. No Velcro of other fasteners are required to hold them in place

I will expect you to be the one throwing gasoline on the smouldering embers.

But why would you be grinning after eating manure, Earthling? It is my understanding that your Human species finds acts of coprophagia distasteful?

Correct:
Bumfuck Egypt, Bumfuck Ohio expr n :
remote or insignificant place. Some random, usu. Midwest state occasionally replaces Egypt since the Midwest is considered remote by most east or west coast folks, though sometimes they’re pointing out the remoteness of that state, “she’s driving all the way to Bumfuck Iowa!”, although, ‘Bumfuck, Idaho’, “West Bumblefuck, Long Island”.

You want to borrow my sky-blue beret with the UN crest on it? You can have more fun than a barrel of monkeys with that thing in a McDonalds with a few overeager rednecks early on a weekend drill morning, with a heavy touch of a cheesy Hollywood foreign accent thrown in.

Ah, see the cathedral across the street! It will be among the very first of those we close....

Helpfully, I speak Esperanto like a native. Mia kusenveturilo estas plena da angiloj!

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!

Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!

Who robs the cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?

We do! We do!
