Goodbye Larry Craig

August 31st, 2007 by Jimmy · No Comments

To me, Larry Criag is the worst kind of Republican. A self professed man of “Family Values” who speakes out against gay rights as if he were another supposed moral beacon for the nation. A Senator who, with great flair spoke out about the sexual antics of Clinton. Yet all the while […]

Toppenish School Board Oddities

August 30th, 2007 by Jimmy · No Comments

I got word today about something interesting I thought I’d share from Progressive Majority. I appears the Toppenish School Board had a vacancy earlier this year and decided to fill it with a local minister after he submitted a one paragraph resume over another qualified candidate.

August 29th, 2007 by Jimmy · 3 Comments

Oh no, he’s not gay. His first statement… “Thank you very much for coming out today…” Hmm… I thought I heard in the background, “we were just here for a press conference, Larry”.

Don’t you get tired of the pathetic explanations anti-gay rights republicans come up with when they turn out to be… […]

So… they don’t have to close?

August 26th, 2007 by Jimmy · No Comments

I guess… I’m right! They don’t have to close! Doc said so… er… in so many words.
“There’s a provision in that bill that hospitals owned by physicians would have to change their make-up or they wouldn’t receive Medicare reimbursement,” he said.

Local Races

August 22nd, 2007 by Jimmy · 5 Comments

Hmm… I debated posting this at all. But it is interesting in some respect.
Let us start with the Richland City Council Race:
Looks like John David isn’t in the hunt. But Kent Madsen is. In an odd twist, Kent’s Mother was one of my early piano teachers in the neighborhood so I have a certain affinity […]
