  A variety of low-temperature, normal-state properties of optimally and
overdoped cuprate superconductors, including the DC and optical transport
responses, are sufficiently anomalous that they might seem to be inconsistent
with any quasiparticle description. However, we show by explicit construction
that the most salient phenomena can be accounted for in a system with localized
"strange scatterers" embedded into a Fermi liquid with a conventional
quasiparticle description. Such scatterers could originate from "two-level
systems" associated with an electronic glassy state with short-range
charge-order correlations.
