Last Friday’s “Olympia Dispatch” is a joke, right?
(And I’m using your whole post. Sorry, but hey! The Herald might get another subscriber out of the deal)

Tri-Citians will remember Zemke as […]

To some, Washington’s 4th Congressional District is dead red. So much so that discussions about the upcoming congressional race here are laced with dismay among some democrats. Some are even willing to back seemingly moderate republicans in what seems to me a way to wish the district to a more centrist political environment. Voters who […]

Man this is good stuff.  Peter Goldmark is the candidate for the 5th CD of Washington.  It is clear from his presence.

How about that Library Bond! I believe I heard someone say that would never pass. That my friends is why I am a prisoner of hope!

Sometimes Joel blows me away.  You don’t have to agree with him but the guy can tell you about Washington state political history.  Last Wednesday’s column on Slade Gorton is just that.  Not that I miss Slade Gorton, but he was in my view, a different breed of republican than much of what we see […]

Looks like Eyman is getting good with God.  Goldy has the scoop.
The Seattle P-I reports today that initiative whore Tim Eyman is counting on evangelical churches to gather the 112,440 signatures he needs to put his anti-gay rights referendum on the ballot.

Here is what happens when a blogger takes the afternoon off of work.
1. He sets up the kids pool.
2. He drinks a couple of cold ones.
3. He reads the news.
4. He laughs his ass off.
And after reading the news, it all suddenly makes sense…
Chimp study shakes human family tree
It appears the human and chimpanzee connection is much […]

Looks like this is going to finally happen.  And hopefully the circle will widen to Cheney and Bush.  These folks have been playing catch in the Rose Garden for far too long.  Jason Leopold at Truthout has the scoop.  It is a good day that another of these tin men will fall.
Despite this potentially good […]

Well, at least from the Ethics Committee.  I would go further and have suggested this in the past as (Doc’s self imposed term limit promise comes to mind).  But I think the majority of people in Washington’s 4th CD would appreciate Doc taking Wrights suggestion… including republicans.  Hastings might have a commanding lead in campaign […]

Last week I stopped by to check out the rally in Pasco.  I have mixed feelings about the immigration laws, the rally’s and a variety of other related items.  It has been hard to form an opinion for me because of my experiences, and that has been the case for years.  But Matt has a thoughtful post […]
