Comments!

Comments should be back now. We lost a few that were posted today, but everything else that looked like it had disappeared should be restored by now. Let me know if you notice any other problems.

2. Gees for a minute Stephan, I though you were about ready to work for King County, first you figured out how to lose things then you figured out how to find them again. I think you are now now fully qualified to work for King County elections!

3. The only other problem I've noticed is a bunch of dunderhead conservatives on your blog. Hope you can correct this problem soon. THANKS,

6. For all my Christian Friends and the curious as well:
O Holy Night Lyrics

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

7. Merry Christmas!

And peace on earth to men and women of good will.

May that peace be the only peace possible -- in Jesus Christ our Lord.

8. Winston,

I give you a gift this holiday season. Places where your ideas won't be challenged by logical, facts and insight, where kool-aid is the flavor of the day.

and

Kos Kids Tantraum.

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas.

9. South End: What's a logical fact?

Your good buddy in Christ,

Winston

10. Mr. Cynical:
Thank you for the lyrics. My favorite Christmas Carol! To all of you, I wish you a joyous Christmas filled with good will towards all, including Winston.

11. I take it back, at least my goodwill wishes extended to Winston. This is because I got curious and looked at his website, thirdworldtraveler. Winston is a hater of America. And Winston, I have a bone to pick. You post so many stupid things about Yugoslavia. Don't you dare claim to know ANYTHING about that war. I was there for 20 years. I have friends who were slaughtered in Croatia and Kosovo. I have a photographer friend who photographed the mass graves in Srebrenica. Those images have been on exhibit here several times. You know NOTHING about that conflict. Your website is pathetic.

12. Winston comes here to do us all the great service of reminding us about what we are up against.
He thinks he is doing something good for his perceived cause. Very amusing.
The heartening part is that blind stupid hatred only goes so far, and Winston is one of the best the left has.

Thanks Winston.
Merry Christmas.

13. "For God so loved the world"....(even the trolls)

He sent Jesus, who came in human form as our Savior, that we, who would believe, would have eternal life!!

Merry Christmas!!

15. To all you folks who post or read here, especially to all the contributors on Soundpolitics, I wish you a very merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Happy Honnaka, Happy Happy Merry Merry!

A hem

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,

Remember Christine their savior will be thrown out one Day;

To save us from her taxing powers while we can't use ashtrays.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

All across this state our blessèd Babe is scorned,

And rides within her limo upon this blessèd morn;
The witch even bought new carpet so fleas also feel her scorn.

Refrain

From Ron and Dean our heavenly Fathers a blessèd governor came;

And unto certain democrats brought recounts and little fame;

How that in our King County was born this witch and Governor by name.

Refrain

“Fear not, then,” said the governor, “Let nothing you afright

This day is born a taxaholic and you'll be broke by night,

To free all those who trust in Her to dabble with our plight.”

Refrain

The democrats at the legislature rejoiced much in their mind,

And left their flocks a-taxing in tempest, storm and wind,

And went to Washington straightaway this blessèd Babe to find.

Refrain

But when to Washington they came where our bad economy lay,

They found us in a manger with oxen sharing their hay;

But mother Christine while kneeling proceded to eat more hay.

Refrain

Now to Christine sing praises all you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood each other now disgrace;

This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface.

Refrain

God bless the ruler of this blog and send him long to reign,

And many a merry Christmas may live to see again;

Among your friends and kindred that read both far and near—

That God wishes Sound Politics a happy new year, happy new year,

And God wishes Sound Politics a happy new year.

Posted by: GS on December 24, 2005 02:41 PM
16. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanuka, and Happy New Year to Sound Politics!

Stefan,
Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and perserverance to find and expose the truth.
I know without you, there wouldn't have even been a third count or a trial. You may not have won that battle, but you are winning the war!

17. Just think--a year ago we were all still awaiting the outcome of the governor's race and many were driving around with "All I want for Christmas is Rossi for Governor" bumperstickers. Three years from now I think WA state will finally get its wish.

Merry Christmas to all.....

18. oh, and Happy Hanukkah, too

How exceptionally wonderful to have them both fall on the same day!

20. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

Please take time to think of and be thankful of those who are working today. If you go out today remember to acknowledge their efforts and dedication.

21. Stefan - I wish that you would work to get the Feds here to investigate KC Records and Elections from top to bottom and force the sonsofb***hes to correct the errors. Either that or engineer a big time lawsuit that will bring them to their knees - maybe that's a bit of a stretch there. However, this is not a time to give up - a plan or strategy would help though. Hope things will look in 2006.
