While the Republicans won't be staging a national convention in Portland anytime soon, apparently the Libertarians will be holding theirs in town this summer. Their convention for the midterm elections will be held at the downtown Hilton on July 1st and 2nd. To learn more about this "exciting event," click here.

I have to be honest. When I clicked on the hotels link over at the event's website I was expecting to see the Red Lion Hotel in Hillsboro or a roadhouse in Estacada. This could get reeeeeeeal interesting, especially if the Libertarians stick closely to their "free expression" mantra and bring along a weekend's supply worth of hookers, booze and explosives. The event will be like "Caddyshack" as directed by Hunter S. Thompson.

I kid...I kid.
