This is a blog afterall. And I noticed that this 2-Way communication thing isn’t just hopping with questions. Frankly, I’ve noticed a certain shyness in Eastern Washington for comment threads. I’m not sure what it is but it seems I have to post up something controversial to get anyone to pipe in. […]

Tuesday Election days that is! I really miss going to a polling place, dropping my ballot in the box, and getting a sticker that says “I Voted”. Silly I know, but I’m a sucker for nostalgia. But not only that, I would have more time to campaign.

After the evening news, I think […]

Evil do’ers decided to TP my house and rip my campaign sign out of the ground last night. This blatent attack on Democracy needs an answer. Now, I’m not really sure how experienced these vandals were…

It could be, since the TP was only over the very lowest branches, that these vandals were at […]

….or what do you stand for, or what sets you apart from the other candidates?
I didn’t get many of those questions door belling tonight. Overwhelmingly it was questions like, “why did we get a Walgreen’s across the street from a Rite-Aid?” Yeah, that’s a head scratcher… But my absolute favorite question […]

First of all, thanks to ALL of you who have expressed your interest and support for this brief campaign. The response so far has wildly exceeded my expectations. I knew it was a bit of a stretch as a write-in candidate, but it is looking more like what may have seemed to be […]

Big shout out to my buddy Doc Hastings:
The 80k per year excuse doesn’t fly…
Bush claims the program is a middle-class entitlement. He is under the false impression that families will cancel perfectly good insurance from work to go on the public dole. The president has obfuscated facts to prove his point. He said a family […]
