January 29th, 2006 by Jimmy · 3 Comments

There is so much to write about… and I don’t feel like doing any of it. Hey! How about that Pelz win!

DeBolt - it’s important that we tell the truth in politics

January 25th, 2006 by Jimmy · 6 Comments

As reported by Chris Mulick in today’s Tri-City Herald, it appears Richard Debolt is having a hard time with the truth.
Hey, um… Richard… the fantasy that an underhanded smear campaign with your fingerprints all over it, that has your collegues apologizing for it, that originated from your district had nothing to do with you? Is […]

When: Every Wednesday at 5:30
Where: Tuscany Lounge, 1515 George Washington Way Richland
And contrary to the latest Republican lie-campaign, this man will not be attending… because he doesn’t live in a swing district.

Iraq War - Are we complacent yet?

January 19th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

Have you started to be complacent about the Bush Administration, the justification for, the ongoing Iraqi war and the subsequent insurgency that continues to kill soldiers and innocent people each day? Just in case, here is a reminder from Alterman. It is a good wrap-up of Bush’s bullshit. And is a […]

More on Party Chair

January 18th, 2006 by Jimmy · 19 Comments

I was a bit worried that my post here and on Washblog would devolve much as we have seen the discussion go elsewhere. And it looked like it was headed that way for a bit but has rebounded and looks like there is reasonable discussion. As I said before, it was getting a […]

Drinking Liberally - Changed to Tuesday

January 16th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

Due to scheduling conflicts with other meetings, the Tri-Cities Chapter of Drinking Liberally is changed to every Tuesday at 5:30. This shouldn’t be a big deal as the vote was fairly split between Tuesday and Wednesday anyway. So be there… I will… to toss back a few!
Cheers!

Alito and the Post-Modernist age of Television Politics

January 14th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

I know that Justin doesn’t troll for blogger support because… he told me so. But hey, when you start talking about holy-water-tears well… I am compelled to throw a link in that direction.
The Alito hearings were nothing but a show as far as I am concerned. I say fillibuster. […]

Open Thread - Sort of…

January 14th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

I don’t get alot of comments and virtually no trolls so an open thread is kinda silly, so I will start it off with a question that might generate a comment or two.

Of Candidates and Consequences

January 12th, 2006 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

Across the state there is some dismay about the lack of name candidates (or no candidate at all) for both the 4th and 5th Congressional districts. Especially in light of the very promising Darcy Burner, former Microsoft Executive, and her candidacy against Dave Reichert in the 8th. And to put it bluntly, and […]
