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, [...]
That’s right! Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities is officially one year old! Our special Tuesday night sanctuary in the vast redness that is Eastern Washington has survived its first year and is headed into this second year thanks to the dedication of our participants. But a special thanks goes to Kendall Miller who’s most regular attendance has made [...]
Nothing but a sunny amazing day. I take the ice in stride as the tour goes about. Enjoy!! [youtube]8dEvuD9H6S4[/youtube] I wish I could have given you more speed but the “pizza…french fries…”folks got in the way. (that would be Pizza: ||, french fries /\, to those of you who are guessing). Either way, nothing better than [...]
Me, that mountain… today… What a beautiful day. I have more… By the way, I took this picture this morning. Isn’t it pretty?
[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.] Laws for Sale by George Pillsbury Dollars and Sense magazine, July / August 2000 Say you’re a corporate entity and you want [...]
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 [...]
You tube has some funny stuff… [youtube]kSKlmhymihk[/youtube] I know I am not the only one who has had a crappy project partner. Look out Dylan… it gets worse in college.
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 [...]
In the wild world of politics I have found myself in some strange places. I’ve infiltrated a seemingly private “press” conference with Mike McGavick where I narrowly escaped the “who exactly are you” question (from a rather large mean looking dude) and was able to join in with local press as McGavick laid out his ultimately [...]

Go Onions! Down with Big Potato!
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 [...]
Drinking Liberally is tomorrow night! Tuesday is the big day where once again we will be blessed with our beloved leader’s interpretation of our “State of the Union”. It sounds like Captain Obvious is eager to discuss at least one of our favorite topics here in the Tri-Cities; “energy”. So come on down to O’Callahans and [...]
I haven’t made up my mind yet. And this doesn’t make up my mind. But I like the idea of a Obama Presidency. [youtube]oWl7EGjiGSE[/youtube]
