As if Bend hasn’t had enough weird news exposure lately with our mysterious “Jason Evers” and the bevy of other real-estate bizarreness, in addition to the counterfeit underwear ring that was recently exposed in town (OK, I made that one up), the clothesline lady was back in the national news last night in this segment from the Colbert Report.
