Breaking! – Doc Hastings Acknowledges Global Warming… sort of.
During the last congressional election cycle, Congressman Doc Hastings rarely spoke out against his opponent Richard Wright. Rightly so that despite a nation wide surge in democratic support that ultimately led to 2006 wave, Hastings seat was safe. Safe from a surge of financial support from his opponent and message, and safe in a district [...]

Stranger Grading The Gov
Interesting interview from Josh Fiet of The Stranger. Not really the grading part but then I think that’s a bit subjective to Josh. Out here we might see things a little different. For instance, 25 jobs, is 25 jobs. In an area that needs jobs! And understanding the tax issue with what Microsoft is trying [...]
Hankins Challenger’s Start Swimming!
Longtime Republican 8th District Legislator Shirley Hankins distinguished career may or may not come to an end this year. Amid the media cloud over her ethics issue, it appears the sharks are starting to circle. Richland School Board President Rick Jansens was no surprise. It’s been rumored (if not confirmed) for months his intent. But the next [...]
Dark Side of the Moon
In case you missed it… we hade a lunar eclipse… Best my cheap little camera can do… My apologies to Pink Floyd.
Democracy for America Training Academy this Weekend!
From personal experience, running a campaign is complicated. Even my 3 week press for city council as a write in took me a bit by surprise as to what really needed to be done. I learned much. But if I had any training, I’d have been far more prepared. So if you are thinking about [...]
My Last Week…
Well… my last week has been filled with finishing off the never ending list of house projects like ripping out the ceiling in my old bathroom, getting dust in my eyes and somewhere I managed to take a motorcyle ride in the freezing freaking cold… It was the coldest ride I’ve probably had in years. [...]

GOP Turnout?
After reading the Tri-City Herald’s caucus accounts I was left with one question. What was the caucus turnout for Wasington State Republicans? Nowhere in the article did I see a boasting of actual Wa. GOP turnout numbers so I went hunting. Nothing. Just overall results. So I called a local R friend and asked his [...]

How did your caucus go?
I don’t know how much comment I’ll get out of this but I’d really LOVE to hear how your caucus went. What was the turnout? What was the vote. Here in Benton County, the caucus at Hanford HS turned out a very… no VERY impressive 290 people. Here is the breakdown that I know so far: 17 [...]
Plugging Arid Lands
On my right sidebar is an ad for Arid Lands. I haven’t seen it yet but I plan to. The documentary is a rich historical look at the Columbia River Basin to which my life is intrinsically tied. I have heard it is a honest and genuine, and perhaps even painful film about this strange and beautiful [...]
Romney Out!
I can’t say I’m happy about this. But then, having the choice between a strong Democratic candidate in either Obama or Clinton and McCain and his prediction of more wars for years to come, or for that matter a Huckabee’s radical ideas for a biblical US Constitution, I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad. It will take [...]
