Pigs and Sea Lions

Pigs 
Back sometime in the mid 80’s I lived in an apartment on Burnside in Portland Oregon.  It was a pretty decent neighborhood with the exception of myself and my roommate.  We, and some of the others in the complex had a habit of staying up too late making noise with our festivities.  But all in […]

Yes, that is a turkey on the back of my bike…  As far as passengers go, it did pretty good.  But my ass got a bit cold.

The “Decider” is still the “Divider”

November 18th, 2006 by Jimmy · 1 Comment

Fresh out of the conciliatory tone the Bush Administration took post-Democratic takeover comes a move that proves once again that Bush want’s to use the Religious Conservative Right.  This in the appointment of one Eric Keroack to the Department of Health and Human Services family planning department.  Keroack’s past at A Woman’s Concern pregnancy resources clinic, a Christian based […]

Craigslist Comes to the Tri-Cities

November 18th, 2006 by Jimmy · 1 Comment

It looks like Kennewick, Pasco and Richland now have their own section on Craigslist.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  But it is pretty empty right now.

November 16th, 2006 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

I received this video recently and it is quite good.  Naturally, due to the amount of time this video has been out, it is already on YouTube.  What makes this video important to me is this:  Now that the Democrats are in the majority of both houses of Congress, this is how you follow the […]

Frothing Over the Middle Left

November 13th, 2006 by Jimmy · No Comments

While republicans are trying to paint the sky red, folks are seeing that it’s just another batch of cheap paint that’s going to fall off the ceiling.  Wash the ceiling with Lynn Allen at Evergreen Politics.
Lou Dobbs interviewed Webb on CNN the other day and I don’t think you could walk away from that interview thinking of […]

A gamer site gets a threat from the ESA.  This is one to rub their nose in.
 
Attacks on commentary and satire on the web should be met with more commentary and satire… don’t you think!
I wonder who was defending their mother’s honor at the ESA?

Lightening Up…

November 10th, 2006 by Jimmy · 3 Comments

Now that this election is over it is definitely time to lighten up.  Chris Mullick at the Tri-City Herald has a run down on what to be thankful for post election.

I now believe in UFO’s

And not because I watch the Sci-Fi Channel… It’s because of this:

If you weren’t in the know, this is (left) Stephan Sharkansky from the rather conservative blog (Un)SoundPolitics and David (Goldy) Goldstein from horsesass.org (our beloved ass kicking NW blog) taken at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. Dogs and Cats unite!  And by the way […]

Big Blue Balls - Post Election Commentary

November 8th, 2006 by Jimmy · 6 Comments

That’s a funny title huh… c’mon, laugh.  I know you want to… but jokes aside, that is what the Democratic party has grown; all those pent up frustrations and we finally grew a pair.  Big wins in the House and Senate tell the story better than any pundit such as the venomous mouth piece Rush Limbaugh and they will […]
