News of the weird
Gingrich thinking about a 2008 presidential run? If you want an indicator of how far to the right this country has swung, this is it pal. Conventional wisdom indicates the only way the Newt who stole Christmas would even think there's a shot at the presidency is in some kind of alternate universe. Welcome to Bizarro World ladies and gents. Course the Democrats could try the whole tried and true run-a-dead-guy routine, with both candidates out of the picture maybe we could get someone qualified to fill the position.
It's nice to see Portland getting a shout-out in the headlines. Those who watch the evening news have no doubt bore witness to the interview with the aunt of the friend of the second cousin twice removed from the newsmaker. Everything has a local spin to the point of absurdity. Leonard Thomas Bayard, proud owner of the Gulfstream jet that's been flying detainees to the latest torture hot-spots, has made an honest woman out of the Rose City with a legitimate connection to the national news. Problem is, the local Portland businessman doesn't seem to exist.
