Purusing through the online version of the Tri-City Herald I noticed a blog about the Kevin Hilton murder trial a couple years ago and the recent successful appeal. I have done a bit of reading but not much and consider myself to be rather undereducated on the details. But I did notice the […]

Jon Stahl over at Evergreen Politics has the scorecard.
What suprises me (well, not really) is the big ZERO for Hastings and McMorris (4th and 5th CD’s). You must really have to work hard to score that poorly when it comes to voting on environmental issues. Especially when you represent districts in […]

If anything has driven me to blogging it most certainly would be the Richland Baptist Church. Their quest for real estate to expand their facility put me in the unlikely position to speak out against what I, and nearly every other resident in my neighborhood, thought was a tragic plan that devalued our homes. […]

Well wouldn’t you know it… well I would. Noemie Maxwell’s post over at Washblog exposes the lies and yet another spin from inititative promoters. But this time, they got caught in the spin cycle. It appears the poster child for the Washington Farm Bureau and it’s President Steve Appel, one Bruce Ritter, […]

I agree with Dan Savage over on the Slog. We in our free society can’t be ankle grabbers when it comes to our freedoms just because a bunch of fanatical, backward, hate mongering religious zealots disapprove of a few cartoons. And “The Economist” article he cites really hits home with me. I […]

I am not in town but it is my guess what with today being Valentines day and all that Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities will not be held tonight. Unless of course anyone want’s to show up… It would be a long drive for me.
Cheers.

If any of my republican freinds out there are reading, I think it is time you started really looking at the state of the GOP and where it is headed. It’s not that there are not normal, level headed, good, smart republicans out there (Larry Haler and Shirley Hankins come to mind), but there […]

Apperantly Democrats are not the only ones fed up with GOP lap dog Doc Hastings. Republican Benton County Commissioner Claude Oliver has thrown his hat in the ring to challenge Hastings 4th Congressional seat.
The Tri-City Herald reports:
On Thursday Oliver said that he decided to run for Congress because the people of […]

It has been a busy week but I am back… for the moment. It looks like on top of my vacation, I will be working on the wet side of the mountains all next week as well. But I wanted to take the chance to publicize the Tri-Cities Chapter of Drinking Liberally. […]

Imagine an evening with bonfires in the snow with the slight winter wind blowing, catching small flakes of snow accross your face. You are ready for the coming day and excited at the prospects of new snow to make your day the ride of your life. And there it is. You wake […]

This somewhat strangely connected to my last post… I have to ask the question now… why do Republicans need such specific laws? Isn’t self restraint enough?
And how do these Republicans know that animals don’t have the power of consent? I just want to know…

Goldy has release the first Drinking Liberally Podcast from the Seattle Chapter and I gotta tell ya, it is pretty good! But not without controversy. You see, we have seen many conservative gay men serving in some public fashion, conceal their gayness and often speak out against the lifestyle they secretly live. […]

It has been hard to write anything lately as I have been distracted and excited about getting out of town. I think that distraction has been showing…
The destination is Big Mountain Montana and if you are there you might find me watching the Seahawks whoop-up on the Steelers at the Beirstubbe Sunday. This […]
