There used to be a time when folks around here could lament that Democrats were only hard nosed dam breaching nuclear hating nut cases.  Well Democrats in this state just took at least one of those arguments away.  I got word that last weeks Democratic State Committee meeting defeated a resolution that called for the […]

David Goldstein over at HA did something I think most of us blogger would like to do - he held a fundraiser for his blogging efforts and was, what I would consider, wildly successful.
Goldy, being probably the most prolific liberal blogger in Washington State, raised over four thousand dollars to go directly in his pocket… er, actually […]

[Jimmy says:  I found this article awhile back and decided to repost it here.  Fair use?  Probably not, but important and pertinent food for thought as the debate on Washington’s Initative Process moves forward.]

Well, if you are at today’s hearing on Washington’s proposed legislation on HB 1087, you might be hearing that from Tim Eyman and his throng of supporters including sugar daddy Michael Dunmire.  The largely Democratic legislature bringing this legislation to the table will hear opponents of HB 1087 spin a tale that by banning the practice they are being disenfranchised […]

Hey… there is this blogger dude in Seattle.  A funny guy that can deconstruct republican arguments faster than republicans can deconstruct the constitution. Shoots straighter than Dick Cheney on a drunken hunting trip. Did I mention he was funny?  Oh yea, he also needs money to pay the rent (I’m sure he would also take an iBook if […]

I picked up on this link today regarding a potential cure for cancer and as exciting as the possibility is, it could literally be thrown in the ditch because there simply isn’t any money in it for big pharm.
Investigators at the University of Alberta have recently reported that a drug previously used in humans for the […]

So come on down to O’Callahans and watch […]
