Gov. Schweitzer – Via HA
Thanks Goldy! Given the buzz after his convention speech, my support for Schweitzer as VP pick wasn’t that far off. This guy has got the goods. Look for good things from Brian Schweitzer.

Product Placement Reaches The Blogs!!
Who ever thought we’d have product placement in a blog post? The deliberate human manipulation of placing the commercial world into our daily lives, until now, was mainly reserved for Sylvester Stallone movies. Until now. Over at HA, Darryl has broken through that barrier. With credentials come bags (typically canvass bags) filled with advertisements and [...]
On those Denver protests…
Pretty weak so far. And there is a few ways to look at this. First, this isn’t 1968 when the warhawks weren’t so far and few between. And with the general message of withdrawal from Iraq a common theme, I don’t anticipate much of a disturbance. But it’s early and the head banging could come [...]
Please make sure you’re drunk ass uncle gets this cartoon.

I love this guy…
Being wrong on the internets ain’t nothin new… But I’ve been right about this guy all along. I’ll get over it soon enough but for right now, I can just dig Joe Biden.
It’s Biden
And that is good. My obvious choice was Schweitzer and for me they were the only two logical choices. And since Schweitzer seemed to have none of it, the choice of Biden makes me happy. But sure as the sun rose this morning, critics are already parsing out how the choice is this or that… [...]
Primary Day Special- Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities
It’s no accident that Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities is held on a Tuesday. Election or primary days make for some good fun for the DL crowd. Tonight, we are changing location to the campaign office in Uptown Richland on George Washington Way with a bit of a spill over to the Town Crier and [...]
Pete McCloskey coming to the 4th CD!
Here’s a bit of interesting news. Pete McCloskey is coming to Central Washintgon! And given that stenography is getting so popular these days, I think I’ll just post the press release. George Fearing – Democrat for United States Congress Press Advisory August 14, 2008 Former Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey to Campaign for Congressional Challenger George [...]
RIP – Chuck Bigelow – 72
In April 2007, I was invited to help block off a section of highway so Jerod Shelby’s Ultimate Aero could make a run at the “worlds fastest production car” record. Three of us (my two brothers in law and I) set out early in the morning on motorcycles; two 1800cc Honda Goldwings and me on [...]
Doc Hastings – Last in His Class
How does a college dropout become a Congressman? Ask Republican Doc Hastings. While I’m sure it’s not completely uncommon, with Hastings it’s always been a bit of a mystery. That mystery was largely perpetuated by Hastings himself. His campaign website obliquely states “He attended both Central Washington University and Columbia Basin College”, but doesn’t mention [...]
I’d Like a Little More Vacation Too
But somehow, running for a legislative seat doesn’t seem to be the best way to get that. But what the story didn’t say was that, if elected, Novakovich hopes to curtail his activities in running his printing company in Kennewick, freeing him up for other activities, including the occasional vacation. He said he typically spends [...]
Indignant Death
The 64-year-old Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that her doctor prescribed for her, but the insurance company refused to pay. What the Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover, however, were drugs for a [...]
George Fearing in WA-04
New ad’s hitting the district. And you know, hitting Hastings on jobs and the deficit is dead on. Sure, we could complain about Doc Hastings ethics committee shenanigans, his ties to the US Attorney scandal and his holding the vote open on the prescription drug vote. But where it all hits home is well… right [...]
