The race in Washington’s 4th CD between George Fearing and Richard “Doc” Hastings could be a close one.  Until recently, no polls were available to show how this race might turn out leaving only speculation that Hastings would easily win with similar numbers as previous elections.  Even strong challengers rarely brought in over 40 percent […]

Corrupt old bastard anyway.
The verdict throws the upcoming election into disarray. Stevens is fighting off a challenge from Democrat Mark Begich and must now either drop out or continue campaigning as a convicted felon.
That shouldn’t be a problem for him…

If you use the schoolyard taunt “then why do you talk about him so much”, then Washington 8th District Legislative candidate Rob Welch loves imcumbant Larry Haler… lots!  But thats not exactly a fair assesment.  Because if you’ve been reading the paper, its pretty clear that it’s anything but *hearts*!  The bad blood goes back […]

I’ve often lamented that the Republican party has gone over the edge and someday, just maybe, real Republicans will take back a party that despite its sometimes monumental policy failures, has much to be proud of.  And if there were a role model for the future of Republican Party it would be Colin Powell.  With […]

A couple times…  And man was that fun.

That’s my “new to me” Kawi KLR 650 ditched in the slop.  The KLR is a gem of a bike.  I’ve been out of the dirt riding for far too long (does it show?), but I’m so impressed by this new bike.  It goes pretty much where you […]

Excuse the sarcasm.  We all knew it would happen. The Tri-City Herald’s endorsement follows the print media’s legacy of endorsing incumbents.  Funny… Goldy recently wrote,
I was chatting with a long-time local politico over the weekend, bitching about the P-I endorsement of Reichert, and the old-timer sarcastically responded “Big deal.”  Both the Times and P-I endorsements […]

In light of the glowing incompetence of the McCain/Palin ticket and the monstrosity that is the VP pick of Sarah Palin I thought I’d do Doc Hastings a favor are re-issue his August 29, 2008 press release (emphasis mine):

Linking here is a must read from Dan Savage that not only will put tears in your eyes, it should give you a better understanding to I-1000 and what it means to the individual vs. well… the individual! You see, that’s what it’s really about.  Argue all you want about “God’s will” or what precedent […]

Dino Rossi and the BIAW aren’t exactly know for their honesty.  I wonder when the Tri-City Herald pick this up?  Waiting….
