Sending 200 National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon is not funny. But at the same time, people in Portland are finding their own way of coping—with humor. The post I shared above, along with the comments, made me laugh out loud.
For those who haven’t been following the news, Forty-seven has called up 200 National Guard troops in quiet Portland, Oregon. (Some commenters have even joked that maybe he meant Portland, Maine, since there’s no war in Oregon.)
Even if you aren’t very political, I think you’ll get a kick out of the “fake” letter from a soldier and the clever responses from Portland citizens.
Sometimes the best way to deal with heavy news is to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Portland’s sense of humor is alive and well, and that’s something worth holding onto.
