Katherine Harris fires her gun at Hallalujah Land Ranch!

[kittenpants]

Great article on Katherine Harris. She's the gift that just keeps on giving.

LAND O'LAKES - Katherine Harris was a pro with the .38 Special, drilling holes through the center of a person-shaped paper target.

But the congresswoman's campaign staff missed the mark at Saturday's gun range photo op, said a local Republican Party official who organized the event.

Pasco County Republican Executive Committee chairman Bill Bunting fumed after Chris Ingram, the communications director for Harris' U.S. Senate campaign, tried to block photographers and television crews from taking pictures of Harris firing away...

My favorite quote from the article: "I think that one thing Katherine does is thinks things to death." Yes, that is when she's not shooting them to death.

37. They just sent me a magazine

in the mail that said my subscription was about over. They sold me some green barley once until I found out they were growing it in fields that were compromised.

I feel like notifying them that I read about them them having cruella over there for some shooting stunt and I wouldn't be involving myself with their "ranch" anymore.

2. Did anyone else announce to challenger her by last Friday?

Wasn't Friday the deadline?

35. "Will" McBride, Peter Monroe, LeRoy Collins Jr.

Most of Harris' campaign staff left this spring after failing to persuade her to drop her bid against Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson. The Longboat Key Republican hired a new staff and vowed to devote her $10-million fortune to the campaign. But she continues to be dogged by difficulties, including revelations that she received illegal campaign contributions in 2004 and shared a $2,800 dinner last year with a defense contractor later convicted of bribing a congressman.

As Harris and her staff offered differing accounts of whether Harris paid for her share of the pricey Georgetown dinner (she didn't), party leaders urged state House Speaker Allan Bense to join the race (he declined). Last week Gov. Jeb Bush said, "I just don't believe she can win."

Harris has drawn three relatively unknown challengers for the GOP nomination: LeRoy Collins Jr., son of former Florida Gov. LeRoy Collins; Pinellas County developer Peter Monroe; and Windermere businessman William "Will" McBride.

... said she welcomed a primary: "I think it helps get our base engaged." And while polls have shown Harris trailing Nelson by 30 points, she said, "It's early. The polls don't matter right now."

Then she said her internal campaign polls show a tighter race in which Harris wins "if we turn out our base."

5. *sigh* I live here. We are also the nudist capital of the U.S.A.

I kid you not.

- sorry - link removed - bad.

Land O' Lakes is a census-designated place located in Pasco County, Florida, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 20,971.

This area was the area used for filming Edward Scissorhands.

This town is also known as the "Nudist Colony Capital of the World", including Caliente and Lake Como among the 7 there.

13. don't the Rainbow People live around there? n/t

32. I don't know, sorry.

14. Correct link

Hi FLDem5,
the link you sent was broken - there was an escape character in front of the apostrophe in the URL. This one might work:

or this http://tinyurl.com/ngtuo


BTW Nudism isn't nearly as creepy as it's made out to be, you know. Nudists are quite inhibited.

[Coexist]

18. Nudists aren't creepy at all - I know a few - they are good neighbors here

my town is just really strange. Really Red, nudist capital of the world, literally named after butter.

[crikkett]

22. LOL Nudists who live in a FL town named for butter

evoke a funny mental image. I bet you have a fun life there.

This is a great thread.

[Coexist]

19. Sorry - the link I tried to fix it with was broken too

I copied and pasted right from my browser. Oh well.

[immoderate]

36. You say, "Nudists are quite inhibited."

I'm pretty sure you don't mean that. Nudists are like everybody else, except they're not hung up about wearing clothes. Aside from that, they are of all types.

What you probably mean by that is that nudists, like anyone else, don't perform sexual acts in public. You can correct me if I misread you.

[crikkett]

38. No less inhibited than anyone else

My observation was that in place of a hangup about wearing clothes is a hangup about not wearing clothes, either evidenced or heightened by needing to carry towels around to sit on.

Wasn't talking about sex.

What's your experience?

[immoderate]

40. That's funny.

Yes, many do have towels, (or wraps) to sit on. However it varies a lot. In primitive locales, like around remote hot springs, it's somewhat less prominent than where there is furniture. I wouldn't call it inhibited though. Sometimes it's practical, sometimes polite.

Places I've been are more toward the casual "clothing optional" style, rather than the more regimented "no clothing allowed" of some nudist resorts. Also interestingly, my observation is that people complete forget that they're not wearing clothes, most of the time.

9. "one thing Katherine does is thinks things to death"

And then she buries the poor corpse in lipstick. Oh my gog, what a sordid image.

10. Better headline: Harris Seeks Concealed Weapons Permit

Currently it's
Harris shoots; cameras don't

The congresswoman's staff bars invited media from taking pictures of her firing a .38 Special at a gun range.

Harris said she grew up hunting with rifles and shotguns, and she still bags quail, dove and Osceola turkey with her 12-gauge shotgun. She said she took numerous gun courses as a youth, earning the Girl Scout equivalent of the Eagle Scout rank, but was less familiar with handguns.

Last Thursday she told the Times she had a concealed-weapons permit that had lapsed, and was taking the course Saturday to get it renewed. But she said Saturday she had been mistaken and may never have had a concealed-weapons permit.

"I thought I had, but I'm not sure if I did or not," Harris said. "You think I would have known, but I never had this kind of training before."

Harris said she owns a small revolver, a Smith & Wesson, but shot Saturday with a .38-caliber pistol owned by the Second Amendment Club, whose members were also at the range.

Go Kathy Go!

She could shoot 'em in the daytime and scare them to death at night.

[Rex]

24. Typical Repuke, supports something but is ashamed of being seen

doing said something. Weak, pathetic, embarrassing, etc.

[MrBenchley]

31. LOL!

"Harris shooting a gun could have shored up her appeal among men and Republican women, analyst Duffy said."

And made everybody else in Florida realize what a trigger-happy loony she is.

And you gotta love this one.....

"Last Thursday she told the Times she had a concealed-weapons permit that had lapsed, and was taking the course Saturday to get it renewed. But she said Saturday she had been mistaken and may never have had a concealed-weapons permit."
So when she was walking around heeled before (as she claimed due to all those "liberal death threats") she was doing so illegally. You gotta love it.

[lpbk2713]

33. This is my pistol. This is my gun.

This is for shooting. This is for fun.
