Ok, so even more Schweitzer!  As Gordon points out in the comment thread, there is a good Charlie Rose interview as well.

Every time I see a clip of this guy I either want him to run for President, or just move to Montana.

Spartan Wrestling

March 18th, 2007 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

I was just going through my stats and I noticed a startling jump in the search term “Spartan Wrestling”, and “Ancient Spartan Wrestling”, that link back to McCranium (I think I used the term once… creepy!). 
What’s up General?  Is there going to be a GCCCR cage match?

Is the Wa. 8th LD Delegation Dis-ing Richland?

March 14th, 2007 by Jimmy · 8 Comments

So I hear about the Town Meetings with our 8th District Representatives and think, “cool! I’ll have to go!”.  8th District Representatives Larry Haler, Shirley Hankins, and State Sen. Jerome Delvin are all going to be there.  What a great opportunity!  Then I check out the announcement and notice Richland is not on the circuit.  Now West […]

March 14th, 2007 by Jimmy · 32 Comments

If you missed it, or are interested in reading about it, Kendall Miller live-blogged the GNEP Hearing yesterday in Pasco.  Lots and LOTS to read and good.  GNEP is interesting stuff and nuclear energy, another piece in that big energy diversification puzzle, could hold real promise.  But will we grow up and get past 3-Mile Island?  My […]

This is all you get for your vote…

March 12th, 2007 by Jimmy · 2 Comments

Yikes… we have a senior Republican in Washington’s 4th Congressional District that while having a higher ranking (as Goldy points out) than Dave Reichert in the 8th CD, and a lower ranking than the 5th CD’s McMorris-Rogers (a hyphenated republican… how odd…), is still at the bottom of the barrel on every rank except position.  That means, as […]

Shirley Hankins Story Isn’t Really Over…

March 9th, 2007 by Jimmy · 19 Comments

If you thought all the details over Shirley Hankins push to promote her Daughter’s tire “recycling” business was over, think again.  As far back as last September 2006, Richland Mayor Rob Welch didn’t think so and judging from the relative quiteness from city officials, all still might not be good in at City Hall.
