Silly me. It only now occured to me after thinking about the Waldron "turnaround team" report on King County Elections that I've been approaching the whole elections reform controversy from the wrong angle. Maybe Deanron would pay me $115,000 if I agreed not to do any more "assessment or evaluation of technical matters related to election operations or election laws".

I don't know what were worried about, this is all part of the grand plan. I especially love the Deanron quote on the last page. The PATHETIC irony of his statement.
Posted by: SP Fan on February 16, 2006 07:21 PMObviously, the judge that just said illegal campaign contributions were not a criminal matter in strippergate; the judge that said that our Rino Sec of State could not be recalled for failing to insure legitimate elections; the judge that allowed Queen Christine to be placed in the Governors mansion; the same judge that said it was citizens responsibility (not folks like Deanron) to clean up the voting roles; the KC Executive who says that the election had accuracy that any bank would envy; don't care about what is right.
Why should you?
You should because you are an honest person and there still is value in living an honest life, as opposed to all who don't want to burn bridges, just get along and make ackward situations dissapear.
Keep up the good work!
Posted by: Bob on February 16, 2006 10:03 PMI'm thinking of the David Krull case, where as the King County Ombudsman he was wrongfully termintated by the county council for an alleged sexual harrassment charge (rumor has it that he was fired because of investigations he was pursuing that he refused to abandon). His wrongful termination suit resulted in a $400,000 settlement (paid for with taxpayer dollars, of course). Just a coincidence, I suppose, that the person whose charges got him fired is the current county ombudsman.
I fugure Deanron could easily justify a quarter to a half million to settle such a suit, especially if the result was to silence the Shark.
Posted by: MJC on February 16, 2006 10:49 PMSims spoksman said recently, no decision has been made yet on what it's purpose will be (A FLAT UNBELIEVABLE LIE).
I will review with you all the three options they put forth to show you the intent of this SIMS department:
1: Do nothing with it, (and leave the Spirit of renton train running on it.
THEN WHY ARE WE BUYING IT WITH OUR TAX MONEY? THIS OPTION WILL NOT HAPPEN!
2: Run a dual purpose line, train and walking/biking trail.
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE MIXING TRAINS WITH WALKERS AND BIKER FOR REAL EXCITEMENT. THIS OPTION WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
3: Make it a walking / Biking trail only
PUT A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL RENTON BUSINESS AND EMPLOYER COMPLETELY OUT OF BUSINEES, AND MANY PEOPLE OUT OF WORK. THIS WILL HAPPEN
Mark my word on this one! It's a done deal despite what the liars in SIMS office state!
Lord of the Flies? Why that's high culture compared to a typical comment thread at HA. HA comment threads like those at Kos and other Loony Left sites, are such that I could see some of the more extreme commenters get incited to real violence.
Posted by: Jeff B. on February 17, 2006 12:05 AMOh, wait. KC already has most of our money, so I'm guessing they'd be able to pony up more of our cash than we would.
Forget I said anything.
Posted by: TB on February 17, 2006 12:07 AMFor once I agree with the left. The POTUS is currently considering allowing foreign investment in the US in the form of the Saudi's taking ownership of operation control at six major US ports.
The deal would mostly be financial in that day to day control at the lower levels would still remain under the same Americans as it is today.
However, it's just not a good idea to let the Saudis have any control, say or the possibility of using our ports for nefarious ends. Remember, 19 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis.
Call 202-456-1111 and politely tell the President you think this is a bad idea, and comments go to comments@whitehouse.gov
Posted by: Jeff B. on February 17, 2006 09:26 AMAll right. Here's the deal. I'll trade the Seattle libs Ann Coulter if they'll give me all the illegally registered voters in King County. Is it a deal?
Posted by: huckleberry on February 17, 2006 09:51 AMI'm sure you are right, but considering that it involves Deanron, it is still pretty hokey.
Posted by: Amused by liberals on February 17, 2006 01:25 PMSeattle libs would never take Ann Coulter.
They know she would rip them to peices without losing a breath.
I'll take her though, please.
Thanks, let me know.
