I think Sen. Grassley is on to something…
“The first thing that would make me feel a little bit better towards them if they’d follow the Japanese model and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say I’m sorry, and then either do one of two things — resign, or go commit suicide.” – Sen. Grassley Why in the [...]
Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities – St. Patty’s Day!
I once went to a St. Patty’s day party in a very small conservative town in Indiana where I was nearly accosted by a patron who, for some strange reason, brought his own green food coloring turn his beer green. Unfortunately, for him, the more he drank the less the food coloring mixed in his [...]
Made In America
I got turned on to this from Eli Sanders over at Slog and “Made in America” seems like bad ass documentary to me. Eli’s review was something of a rememberance for me for the very brief experience I had with an LA gang. Nothing dramatic happened in my experience of course. In fact, if I [...]
Note to Clearwire Wireless Internet
Your service is getting nearly useless. I was promised much better internet speeds. So much for that promise? Fix it! If you were thinking about ordering Clearwire, don’t do it until they get their shit together.
Washington Dept. of Natural Resources News

When I was 6 or so, my brother and I had 2 delivery routes in a then not-so-wonderful Seattle neighborhood near Madrona where we fought off angry dogs and angered subscribers with our superior throwing skills (remember aluminum screen doors? A well thrown [...]
Science, embryos, money…
Embryonic stem cell research is fascinating. But what becomes of the therapies once available? It’s a little early to know if we will see television ads from Pfizer on their latest therapy (just imagine that in today’s context of marketing… ick). Here’s an interesting and informative Slog post that brings up the commercial aspect that [...]
“I’m Sorry Rush”
Now you too can apologize to Rush Limbaugh! I wish republican leadership would toss Rush to the curb. They will have to at some point so why not now? They need ideas and strategy and Rush embodies neither. Neither does O’Reilly. Watching republicans right now is like watching an alcoholic bottom out. They haven’t bottomed [...]
