No one actually said that; I just felt quote marks added more drama.
Anyway, today’s clipping comes all the way from Sept. 14, 1988, when then Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer was beginning his own war on drugs. Dave got a lot of press in those days, as this article in the Register-Guard can attest. It also attests to the importance of word placement in a headline, especially when using things like colons — which Activia yogurt eater Jamie Lee Curtis can tell you. But that’s another story. This morning, we’re talking about a poorly written headline that made it appear as though Oregon’s leader of the war on drugs was dipping into his own stash.
Also, note the cutline below his photo:
“… A lot left to be done.”
Nice touch.

Ha! I wonder if he ever finished it all? 😉
Hahaha 🙂 Good question. No one has seen him in 25 years. When he runs out, I’m sure we’ll see him again.
That has the intentional tang of a cheeky headline writer. Love it!
It HAD to be, especially with the cutline quote 🙂
The Door is way cool and makes for a great topic. Thanks.
Thanks, Michael. I’m kind of partial to it myself!
Love it!!
Thanks! One of my favorites 🙂
I wonder if he finished “the lot” he had left to do. He must look like Jabba The Hut by now with the munchies he must have experienced. (at least I’ve heard that happens) 😉
I wondered why I couldn’t find any Chicken and Waffle chips at Safeway!
Lol. 🙂
Love, love, love this- for all the wrong reasons!
The it HAS to be right 🙂
LOL! People must have been fed up because he wouldn’t share…
That could definitely explain why he wasn’t re-elected! Either that, or he had the munchies and only did his campaigning at 7-11s.
Haha! I love 7-11!
I almost entirely missed the Jamie Lee Curtis colon use joke, but when I got it I laughed out loud… “YES I AM WORKING not blogging goodness.”
Yes, I sort of tucked in in there — which is appropriate for a colon joke… 😉
