Camilo Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 The campaigns are here, and Bush's stupid convoy didn't let me go out to lunch today (closed the only outlet from the business park). They didn't even announce that they were going to shut down the damn road for hours! I bet the people downtown are pissed too.

catbirdseat Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I ran 4 miles of hills on my lunch break. I invited my new boss along. He said he runs three miles every day. I asked him at what pace he runs, and he said "8 minutes per mile". "Oh, good, that's just perfect", I said. Only problem was he never runs hills. He pooped out on the first hill. Hee hee.

Camilo Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 I think it's kind of funny that GW comes here and ties up traffic for a tickets only event. Call me a commie bastard, but that's more annoying than Kerry causing traffic for a concert and rally that's free for everyone, even though I'm not a big fan of Bon Jovi.

Stonehead Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hey, what ever happened to Oregon Senate Bill 742, the one that identifies a terrorist as a person who "plans or participates in an act that is intended, by at least one of its participants, to disrupt" business, transportation, schools, government, or free assembly? Â The bill contains automatic sentences of 25 years to life for the crime of terrorism. Â Critics of the bill say its language is so vague it erodes basic freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism under an extremely broad definition. Â "Under the original version (terrorism) meant essentially a food fight," said Andrea Meyer of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which opposes the bill. Â Update: Senate Bill 742 in the state senate would enact new guidelines and strict punishments for acts of terrorism in Oregon Could be used to curtail peaceful protests infiltrated by agents provocateurs.

Sorry, but the Secret Service has their own protocols and reports to the Department of the Treasury.  Why'd you say Al Gore did the same thing in Seattle a couple years ago. It a Secret Service thing. Then?  I know perfectly well how the government is organized. I've known people who were on the Presidential Detail  Bush appeared at the dedication of the WWII Memorial - a public appearance. He has appeared at other public gatherings.

Camilo Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 I just think it's weird that he's in Portland instead of, say, Prineville or Klamath Falls to remind everyone that as long as there are trees left standing, there is fire danger. At least he has more supporters down there. But then again, considering the few fires we've had this summer, it's a good thing that he hasn't headed down there just in time for a couple of questionable fires to start for his backdrop.

iain Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 don't worry I'm sure his podium will spontaneously erupt in flames as he steps away from it, since it is made of wood afterall, and somewhat tree-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assmonkey Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 They closed the Burke-Gilman trail in Redmond I discovered as I biked home from work Friday. I started to chew out the pimple faced Redmond Explorer, telling him it was "fucked" and "bullshit," then I realized that I was just being a dick to the poor kid, so I backed off. I did ask him directions to get back to an open part of the B-G trail so I wouldn't have to bike across the 520 bridge, and this Explorer had no clue. I'll bet he has the video game badge though. Â Anyway, what the fuck, does the SS think that some radical Islamic bicyclist is going to pack his bike frame with C-4 and attempt to blow up the president in Redmond, WA? Can't they just secure the perimeter of whatever building he was speaking in and leave it at that? What a fucking useless pain in the ass.

markinore Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I was in Phoenix last week when Bush was there. They shut down the Scottsdale airport for almost 24 hours. I was told by a local that the Scottsdale airport is mostly used for private jets. So I guess the people who were most inconvenienced down there were those who going to vote for the motherfucker! Â A small bit of poetic justice, but a gratifying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MervGriffin Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Huh? I ran 4 miles of hills on my lunch break. I invited my new boss along. He said he runs three miles every day. I asked him at what pace he runs, and he said "8 minutes per mile". "Oh, good, that's just perfect", I said. Only problem was he never runs hills. He pooped out on the first hill. Hee hee. Â Reminds me of a cute little song from everyone's favorite musical, "Annie Get Your Gun". Â "Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything Better than you. Â No, you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can. No, you can't. Yes, I can, Yes, I can! Â Anything you can be I can be greater. Sooner or later, I'm greater than you. Â No, you're not. Yes, I am. No, you're not. Yes, I am. No, you're NOT!. Yes, I am. Yes, I am! Â I can shoot a partridge With a single cartridge. I can get a sparrow With a bow and arrow. I can live on bread and cheese. And only on that? Yes. So can a rat! I can drink my liquor Faster than a flicker. I can drink it quicker And get even sicker! I can jump a hurdle. I can wear a girdle. I can knit a sweater. I can fill it better! No, you can't. (Softly) Yes, I can. (Softer) No, you can't. (Softer) Yes, I can. (Softer) No, you can't. (Softer) Yes, I can. (Softer) YES, I CAN! (Full volume) New Boss: I can run 3 miles,during my lunch, Catbird: I can run 4 miles, up hill a whole bunch, New Boss: I pooped out up my first big hill, Catbird: And I a laughed at you cuz you had your fill." etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
