The recent GOP debate brought the term “smashmouth” out of the NFL and onto the GOP presidential playing field as front running Romney and Guilianni wallowed in the mud over the GOP signature issue of immigration.  It was genuinely humbling to watch them eat their own to gain an upper hand the issue.  I’d love […]

In talking about congestion pricing on my show Saturday night, I couldn’t contain a brief outburst over how our local media and political elite continue to take seriously the Discovery Institute’s transportation proposals in light of its embarrassing role in promoting Creationism Intelligent Design. My frustration stems not simply from the fact that Intelligent Design […]

I’ve been a Joe Biden fan for a long time and I really think he should be doing better than he is.  During the last debate, he really nailed it.  No matter who you like, you gotta like Joe.  If Joe were to get the nomination, I think he’d win big.

Update (7/9/2007):  I just crossed 800 votes.  That is 800+ people who took the time to write my name in on the ballot!!   And more counting on the way.  Amazing!!!
What the heck happened to the Simple Majority? Why did the Tim Eyman Initiative pass? Don’t you like your insurance company? Who the heck needs a rainy day fund? […]

My totals have gone up to over 500 now. Not bad for a write in. For a bit of perspective, in the Seattle City Council Position 3, with over 70,000 votes cast, the write in(s?) tallied less than 300 at last count. In this race, with roughly 5600 votes cast my total […]

Man I like that title just for the beauty of it. In my case, it is exactly true. So far, I got roughly 450 votes. Now Rob Welch got 4557 votes but look at it this way. So a guy (me) runs a write in campaign, with little money and just […]

It’s getting down to the wire with November 6th just days away so this will be my last post until after then. Be sure and vote and when you do, write in my name for Richland City Council Position 3.
This race is about choice. As it stands, Mayor Welch’s decision to resign leaves […]
