Imagine a small velvet room filled with strange costumed celebrators surrounded in the dimly lit atmosphere of cheap oriental styled lamps. Spiderman is on the edge of cardiac arrest, Elvis is as fat and white as a ghost. Decked out in full pirate regalia, the band is playing furiously as the gypsie dancers shake […]

You could relate this subject to my last post and link about Liberal vs. Progressive. There is a faction that exists in the Democratic Party that still holds fast to the idea of gun control. My opinion on gun control is this:
Thanks, but no thanks.
Liberal interests have been after this for a […]

I found it interesting that the term liberal had been hijacked by neocon’s and distorted to be some sort of dirty word. Some of the best local republicans I have followed in recent years continually push what would normally be considered liberal issues. But Progressive takes this a notch further and adds a […]

If the Seattle media had only the nerve. Leave it to blogger David Goldstien at Horsesass.org to get the truth out. This is a harsh post on King County Executive Candidate David Irons and it will certainly piss alot of people off (especially Irons). But it is a story that needed to […]

Hey, how about this idea? Red (east) Washington should be able to rip a strip with their teeth and feel just fine about voting yes for I-912. NOT!

And that is the gist I get from Bret Bader and Jim Flower in Today’s PI 5 part article/interview from Jane Hadley. Bret and Jim were joined by Secretary of Transportation Doug MacDonald and UW Washington State Transportation Center’s Mark Hallenbeck.
The common theme for the I-912 proponents appeared to be that WSDOT was not […]

Doc Hastings makes it so. If I don’t link to it, you probably would miss it… right? Seriously, are we going to endure another term with Doc?

I know that this is a pretty conservative area, but wouldn’t it be great to have our own Tri-Cities Chapter of “Drinking Liberally”? Imagine the fun that could be had grilling candidates, spreading vicious rumors, and of course, drinking. Heck, we could even invite our moderate republican friends and possibly attempt the […]

The main problem with initiatives is that corporate money can get involved. Example this week: I-330. If you think for a minute that I-330 is a citizen’s initiative better think again. It has nothing to do with anyone who lives in this state.

As much as I have enjoyed on beating up on Republicans lately (or at least one in particular), I have to take a step back and give some credit to at least one local Republican (so far), Benton County Commissioner Leo Bowman, for responding to a small Eastern Washington Blog about I-912.
As I […]

There’s way too much misinformation on I-330 out there. Especially from the Insurance Industry. Big buck TV ads may sell this sucker but it is far from selling the truth.

It is bad enough that Doc Hastings has dragged his ass on launching an investigation into Tom Delay’s sorid unethical activity. It is bad enough that he has taken money from the Delay plate and didn’t blink an eye. And let us not forget his silence on the Magnusun Amendment. But is is […]
