:P
This state just leaves me wondering how it can function with
intellect like that at the helm and it is not limited to state
level......
It exists at every level including Portland e.g. we managed to hit national news with our mayor who slept with his aid when the kid was 17.....
OH sorry, they kissed, not slept together, or did they? Nobody really knows because there was a glitch in testimony.
****rolls eyes*****
I don't care about the mayor's personal life, just what a circus it is continually.
What shocks me is the OREGONIAN reported the bloopers, when they are so supportive normally.
