Hey Mr. Vance, Remember that Cowboy Hat?

April 27th, 2006 by Jimmy · 3 Comments

Last October following the Eastern Washington Democratic Conference, then GOP Chairman Chris Vance wrote an editorial in the Tri-City Herald (of which I responded) stating that Democrats are losing in Eastern Washington because they are “wrong on the issues”.  For the life of me I can’t imagine what the issues we Democrats are so wrong about […]

Democracy 21 - Doc Hastings Needs to Step Down

April 24th, 2006 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

Not that he will listen, I think it would be a wise thing if he did… or live up to his term promise and simply not run.  But Democracy 21 issued a statement today calling for Doc Hastings to step down as ethics chair.

Democracy 21 believes you have failed to carry out the important institutional […]

Tri-City Herald’s Chris Mullick’s Olympia Dispatch Celebrates the 1 Year B-Day

April 24th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

I have never met Mullick but I picked this up off of Matt Watkins blog (my republican friend who needs to blog much more) that Mullick passed the one year milestone.  I have really enjoyed Mullick’s reporting.  His blog on the Tri-City Herald’s web site is pretty much a daily journal on the Washington State Legislature […]

Spaghetti Feed!!

April 24th, 2006 by Jimmy · 5 Comments

Hungry? How about a spaghetti feed hosted by the WSU Young Democrats.  Makes me hungry but I plan on attending Drinking Liberally instead (free munchies).  But if you are in the Pullman area I would say this would be a good gathering for all you left leaning spaghetti noodle twirling Dems.  Good old sgetti is comfort food […]

In yet another chance for me to promote Richard Wright’s campaign to un-seat Doc Hastings this November, Richard will be hosting an “Open House” (ironic huh) at his campaign headquarters tonight.  This is an excellent chance for folks to come meet this candidate, ask those important questions you all have, and… give till it hurts.  […]

Richard Wright - Doc Must Go!

April 8th, 2006 by Jimmy · 6 Comments

For those of you who have not had a chance to hear Richard Wright speak, I captured Richard’s speech today at the Benton County Democratic Convention.  Central theme today is simple, Doc Hastings must go.  Washington’s 4th Congressional District needs leadership, not a follower like Hastings.  Every step of the way Doc has given a […]

Doc Hastings Washington’s 4th CD is a National Embarrassment

April 5th, 2006 by Jimmy · 4 Comments

That’s right… it is us.  After all, if news media across the state and across the country are so outraged by Hastings’ chair of the House Ethics activities, and we vote this jackass in again, Washington State’s 4th Congressional District could very well be labeled the most dysfunctional, moronic, ill informed and embarrassing congressional US district outside […]
