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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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… talk […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 a couple […]

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 physician-assisted […]

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 […]
