While you were getting your, um, er......beauty (I am sure you meant to say old age) rest, Oregon was taken over by space aliens: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/why_the_left_is_unpatriotic_an.html
Geez, how embarrassing. No way would I hang out with a bunch of tree-hugging hippie freaks. Beavers don’t take kindly to tree huggers, ya know. ;)
I just had to click on the fair list of do’s and don’ts.
Do bring your sparkly duds...beads, costumes or whatever faggy looking thing you can think of to wear. Dead giveaway as to what kind of people they wanted to show up. Wasn’t that poem just lovely?
Yeah, Oregon is full of dimwits alright. I can’t argue with you there, Lame. Which reminds me, I need to pick up an American flag to wave proudly in front of my house. Maybe that’ll keep the creeps at a distance.

If you have a moment, please click the link, then scroll about about one quarter down the page, you'll see the poll on the right side. Its non-scientific, of course, but if the results are favorable to Obama you know the press will assume it validates their hero worship and dogged devotion to Obama.
Newsbusters tracked down the original observation or comparison and it made by Obama himself in an interview with the Washington Post in February of 2005 .... That was over three years ago when he was barely a blip on anyone's radar outside the Beltway. Apparently, that quote was later picked up by Time Magazine at the end of February, 2005.
McCain Not First to Compare Obama to Paris Hilton
By Seton Motley, August 4, 2008 - 14:30 ETThe uproar of the media, serving as adjunct PR firms in defense of their beloved Sen. Barack Obama in response to Sen. John McCain's video comparing the Illinois Senator to Paris Hilton, was deafening. The ad was described as "nasty", "childish" and "juvenile", a "strange" "nuclear attack" for having dared to compare their anointed one to the brainless celebutant hotel heiress.
Sen. McCain and his camp responded that it was all in good fun, and was made only to point out the ridiculous Tiger Beat-squealing teenage girl nature of the over-the-top, all-encompassing coverage thus far afforded Obama by his Paparazzi.
But it appears that someone years ago beat Sen. McCain to the comparison punch.
Would all of this overwrought press hysteria be rendered even sillier were it to turn out that Sen. McCain was in actuality quoting Sen. Obama? Methinks that it would.
A February 24, 2005, Washington Post article begins:
There's nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and, more to the point, how they are broken."Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame," says Barack Obama. "I've already had an hour and a half. I mean, I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."
That is pretty much the who and the why of Sen. McCain's explanation of his ad, is it not? It turns out he wasn't mocking Sen. Obama so much as channeling him. Or making a mini-documentary out of the Post's article.
Either way, it is just another example of the elite media not liking a Leftist's own words being used against him in the court of public opinion.
Update: Time magazine had the quote as well. From their Verbatim section:
For the week of Feb. 28 - Mar. 6, 2005
Typical.
I can not begin to express how sick I am of hearing anything Obama and how worried I am for my country.
Oh, BTW, turn up the volume... LINK
Laughter.
You’re absolutely right, they are completely thin-skinned and humorless.
No comment......
:-)
All this while people are starving, the planet is dying from heat stroke, the polar bears are stranded, and Oregon is overwhelmed with eeeevil conservatives who shoot guns.........
Did I get the whiny inflection right?
Well somebody has to set a good example for the morons, right?
:-)
I have wonderful neighbors.....well at least the ones I see. A couple of them seem to never come out of their homes. Maybe they’re related to Darks. Sunlight does awful things to a vampire’s complexion. :)
The Caterer for the wedding is coming to check out our yard today, so we hope the RAIN holds off for a few hours. You can actually watch our grass grow. Poor Al...the grass is growing at the other house just as fast, groan.
We still have to get the tent and tables, etc, ordered, and we'll delve more into that today. Darn, those things are expensive. Thank goodness we're having a fairly small crowd. I hope we get our second "week" of summer at the end of Sept, for when the wedding is. :(
I will try to get my "funny/odd-bone" working soon I hope, but don't "Hate me because I'm Beautiful", if it doesn't happen right away. Maybe you can all post some funny stuff to make me LAUGH????
Well....some good news... My sugar isn't too bad, and I've lost over 20 pounds. My clothes are starting to look too big, and that's not a bad thing. ;) There's always some light at the end of the tunnel I guess.
Hang in there with me "guys", as the Kabobs will be on the grill and the guests will be something to gaze at, plus the drinks will be "on the house". ;)
Love that, Gran. Reminds me of where I grew up.
I don’t know how the situation came out. I hollered to everyone I could think of and asked a coworker to keep an eye on it since she drives past there on the way to and from work every day. The whole thing is very upsetting though. I read an article around the same time from the Mountain Home paper where the headline read that animal cruelty laws are too weak in the state of Arkansas, being only one of four states that have no felony animal cruelty laws. The stuation there was a man and his son that were charged with burglary and a FOURTH count of animal cruelty, and because it was a misdemeanor, they essentialy got away with it. This state is always too busy figuring out ways to raise taxes to worry about the petty little matters like protecting those who can’t protect themselves.
Or put up another cartoon about LJ kabobing in her monthly donor wonder bra.........
