Mark Foley is a Sex Offender and has Resigned Girls and Boys!

September 29th, 2006 by Jimmy · 3 Comments

Remember Mark Foley?  If you followed Brad Blog you would. Foley was the Florida Congressman who was so close to the Florida voting machine scandal it is surprising he was still a congressman after 2001. Naw, just kidding.  That would never happen in this political environment where despite enormous character flaws and crooked dealings, Republicans […]

Guess What? Your Candidates Need You!

September 28th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

And not just the 4th, but the 5th and the 8th Congressional Districts as well.  If you don’t like the idea of an endless war, and don’t condone torture to win it. If you don’t like the astronomical federal deficit and if you are sick and tired of the same old shit when congress and the Bush […]

My Government Can Now Torture Me If It Thinks I am a Terrorist

September 28th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

What a sad day that our own government would give up our values, our system of law, our international agreements for something so immoral.  You righties will obviously scratch and growl that it is necessary for our security and the nebulous war on terror.  But things like this have consequences.  And also a past. A past […]

Tri-City Herald calls attacks on Bill Grant “Not Quite Accurate” - Almost

September 27th, 2006 by Jimmy · 9 Comments

It isn’t often you find the Tri-City Herald on a fact finding mission.  Actually, it may have been a mere observation, or even perhaps a pissed off phone call from 16th Legislative Representative Bill Grant (Walla Walla).  No matter.  When the remarkably lethargic Tri-City Herald gets to pointing out discrepancies in campaign ads it is a good […]

McCranium has got to move!

September 26th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

I’ve had this site and hosting company for about 4 years or more.  But, it looks like I have outgrown the server that it is hosted on.  So over the course of this week I will be moving to a new hosting company that I will describe as a ‘bit more friendly’.  My mail is […]

It still doesn’t mean much.  But spin away… [From the Goldmark Campaign]

Primary Results

September 20th, 2006 by Jimmy · 4 Comments

I’m with Chris Mullick on this one.  The Washington Primary numbers don’t mean much.  There are some bright spots.  Peter Goldmark did pretty well in Spokane County in the sense of raw numbers.  Richard Wright had a good showing in a largely uncontested 4th district where many voters chose to vote republican over the empty choices for […]

Goldmark on Ko’s

September 18th, 2006 by Jimmy · 5 Comments

Thanks to mcjoan on Ko’s, Peter Goldmark continues to get “untraditional media” exposure.  Not that there hasn’t been some exposure as she points out by the many links in the post.  But still not enough considering the momentum the Goldmark race has gained against McMorris (and nearly nill by my acounts of the Spokesman Review).  […]

The Unbearable Bobness of Being

September 16th, 2006 by Jimmy · 1 Comment

I like this blog mostly because it is somewhat of an escape from the usual politicalness of my reading.  Lately I have felt like I just need to get away from it all as the climate sickens me.  Bob summed it up:
I hope my readers understand (and I know most of you do) this systematic sickness that […]
