Merry Christmas… To Me!!!

    It’s wet and cold outside and I’m a puddle of frustration.  150 h.p. puddle of frustration. Feel sorry for me….

One more for the Huckster

Man, that commercial was a bad idea… [youtube]DksofcROmXs[/youtube]

I HATE DARRYL AT HOMINID VIEWS

I haven’t got all my shopping done.  My kids are going to be here soon and I haven’t folded that big ass pile of laundry in the extra bedroom.  My sink is full of dirty dishes.  The cat box stinks and needs to be cleaned.  My car needs an oil change.  I haven’t gotten a [...]

George Fearing Steps Up On Media Ownership

Around these parts, the consequences of the recent FCC media ownership decision seem to be of little consequence.  But that’s not hard to believe with the poorish coverage on this subject we get around here.  Despite the venom at the late announced Seattle hearing FCC Chairman, Kevin Martin, received at the late announced meeting and around [...]

Charlie Wilson’s War

This is a movie I plan to see pronto.  And Lynn Allen has an early blogger review over at Evergreen Politics.  See this movie!  The book, written by George Crile, has stayed with me since I read it shortly after it came out in 2003.   It is an amazing story of how three individuals working [...]

The Oddness of R

Presidential candidate style that is… I can’t get enough to the Jesus obsession with these guys. Maybe Ho Chi Minh had an unknown prison camp mole beating captives by day, and savior by night. Not sure but this McCain ad is odd. [youtube]7WTu7drLfRc[/youtube] In other Oddness of R, we all saw last weeks Huckabee ad [...]

Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities

Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities is tonight! Yeah, I know it sucks outside… cold, occasional rain. So come warm up with some hot conversation! Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities O’Callahans – Shilo Inn 50 Comstock Rd. Richland 7pm till?

Holy Cow!

The Cascade Curtain

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do was a video project that addressed the political divide of Washington State, infamously known as the “Cascade Curtain”.  And so I’ve begun…  I’ve taken some footage but nothing too significant so far… until last week when I attended Dino Rossi’s visit to Kennewick.  Despite my obvious left leaning [...]

On the Radio!

I’ll be on Seattle’s 710 KIRO David Goldstein show  for the regional blogger round up along with TJ from Loaded Orygun.   I dunno what we are going to talk about…. Or even after that… meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a (mg-l-mn-, -mny) n. 1. A psychopathological condition in which delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence predominate. 2. An obsession with grandiose [...]

48 Years, 2 Months, and 11 Days and Never Missed a Paycheck

That was the signature phrase my Grandfather used in attempts to inspire a work ethic in his Grandchildren… a joke about the number of years, months and days he was in the workforce (never missing a paycheck was the punchline).  He would also calculate the stacked up height of the all the tuna fish sandwiches he ate for lunch during those years [...]
