Another bad economic stimulus proposal
I have an idea to stimulate the economy that falls into the "democracy is the worst form of government except for all the rest" category. It's utterly unfair and goes against all of my principles but for its two redeeming virtues: (1) it will work, and (2) it will cost a lot less than the plans currently in development. Others have probably thought of this, too, though I haven't heard of it. I thought of it when I happened to... [read more]

Letter to Huff - You Sent a Ballot to a Dead Man!
I delivered this scathing letter and the letter from the widow and from the cemetary and the ballot for the dead man who died in 1993. I demanded he be removed. I told them I wanted to keep the ballot unopened for evidence. It must have scared them. They called me 10 minutes later saying he had been removed!

MEDIA BIAS: IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT. WAY WORSE.
If you had any remaining doubts about whether today's 'big' media are fair-minded in their reporting, you can erase all doubt with this piece of news: while journalists have been fawning and slobbering all over Barack Hussein Obama during his campaign and subsequent installation as POTUS, now comes word that ex-Clintonite George Stephanopoulos holds daily strategy & message-crafting meetings with Obama's Chief of staff & fellow ex-Clintonite Rahm Emanuel. This has apparently been going on during the campaign, as well,... [read more]

Spokane County GOP Chair is organizing a bus to Olympia to fight eco-terrorist bill!
It appears that Matt Shea's alert regarding HB 1718 struck such a nerve with the party in Spokane, that Cindy Zapotocky, Spokane County Republican Party Chair is organizing either a bus or a carpool to bring local party members and other citizens to come down and speak against this thing.

Can Puget Sound Republicans Become Relevant?
Is there no spokesperson to speak for Republicans on an on-going basis? Is there no "shadow" government we can rely on? Where are the op-ed pieces by prominent Republicans? Where are the press conferences/townhall meetings of state Republicans on the state's deficit? Where are the specific budget-balancing solutions put forth by the GOP?

First test of honest Democrats - Any of you out there?
So here we are, on the verge of the largest spending bill in the history of the United States. A 647-page list of Democrat pet-projects and handouts that will add a $1.2 trillion directly to the national debt ($825 billion plus life-time interest payments on it) at a time when there will be no increases in revenue to pay of any of it. It is being called a Stimulus Bill, focused on jump-starting our economy. It has been written by... [read more]

Rush Limbaugh on Obama's political strategy
The following is just an excerpt from www.rushlimbaugh.com. To read the entire transcript, go to http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_012309/content/01125113.guest.html I think what's coming is going to be a concerted effort by the Obama administration to separate our elected officials from us on the Republican side. Colin Powell is working on that. Colin Powell is already out there saying Republicans should ignore Limbaugh, meaning conservatives, plus me. McCain, New York Times story today, "The Maverick is Back." And what does that mean? It means... [read more]

Change You Can Believe In
Remember all the liberals screaming about how your Constitutional rights were being trampled by Bush's warrantless wiretapping? Well, the Obama administration just sided with Bush on the program. The Obama administration fell in line with the Bush administration Thursday when it urged a federal judge to set aside a ruling in a closely watched spy case weighing whether a U.S. president may bypass Congress and establish a program of eavesdropping on Americans without warrants. The sound you hear? Liberal heads... [read more]

UPDATE: Where in Journalism school do reporters learn to give cover to Democrats?
UPDATE Four days after news broke of Portland Mayor Sam Adams' admitted sexual relationship with an 18 year old male who he's had a relationship with since the boy was 17, both the AP and the Seattle Times are still unable to identify Adams as a DEMOCRAT! These propaganda sources for the Democrats clearly don't even care that some know how corrupt and biased they are. Portland mayor says he will not resign Can there be a more blatant example...

In the Wake of the Inauguration: A Layman's Response to the President's Speech
[The transcript of President Obama's Inaugural Address comes by way of The Drudge Report.] On its face, the President's speech on the Capitol steps this morning was a fair effort that could not possibly live up to the expectations set by Beltway pundits and the hunting hounds of the national press corps.  Much of the text (said to have been written by the President himself) was predictable, but it was anything but safe.  By applying a rough chop to the...

Just another day
Today is just another day. We don't live in a nation where pomp and ceremony are paramount. We live in a nation that is ruled by laws and reveres the sanctity of the individual. Barack Obama is no more important or noteworthy than any other president or individual in this nation. And for that matter, there are a lot of productive people in this nation who are far more important to our success. Don't become a part of the ridiculous... [read more]

Is Flag Desecration by Obama Supporters Another Sign of the President-elect's 'Man-Crush' on Lincoln?
As Michelle Malkin has been reporting on her site for days now, President-elect Obama's supporters have been engaging in widespread acts of unlawfulness in the form of distributing and displaying United States flags that have been defaced with images of the President-elect. What is eerie is that even as Obama concludes the pilgrimage to D.C., draped in the mantle of Abraham Lincoln's legacy, these flags could just be one more example of Obama's lack of originality.  Abraham Lincoln's 1860 presidential...

Prostitution-free zones--Say WAAAA?
I used to listen to local gadfly David Goldstein when he was on KIRO radio. One of his favorite talking points was that high taxes were necessary because today's voters want, nay, demand their wonderful government services. You mean like this, Goldy? From the Wa Post In preparation for the inauguration, D.C. police have been putting up large red "Prostitution Free Zone" signs in the central section of the city. The signs were originally the idea of ex-mayor Anthony Williams,... [read more]

I tried being Bi(Partisan), But It Didn't Work
Every once in a while, I think, I shouldn't always be the critic of Democrats. I should "reach out" across the aisle and find common ground. But then, I read about something so stupid or hypocritical or wasteful or 180 degrees opposite of common sense, that I run screaming back into right field. I thought that being middle of the road would be okay for 4 (or 8...or 12...yikes) years, but I think my brain would explode and I'd be... [read more]

Bye Bye Dodd! Hello Schiff!!!
Peter Schiff might be running for Senate in 2010!!! If he does this will probably be the highest profile campaign the republicans put up. But it will also be one of the biggest victories for the free market as well. 1. Peter Schiff is from the Austrian school of economics. He has not been shy about presenting his economic views (free market capitalism, return to gold standard, end the Fed). 2. Dodd is dud who has watched our financial system... [read more]

Does your income double every 10 years?
Washington State Government spending is out of control. But that is nothing new for a government that's been dominated by Democrats for decades. I decided I wanted to understand just how quickly Democrats are exploding this government, and while you'd think that this data would be easily found on the web, it wasn't. So for your consideration is the growth, or bloat, of this state's spending habits back to 1983. In advance I'll tell you it works out to an... [read more]

Viaduct Plans Perpetuate Wasteful Attitude of State and Local Officials
As someone who has decades of memories wrapped up in the crumbling concrete Alaskan Way Viaduct that spans the length of Seattle's downtown waterfront district, awaiting the momentous decision about the roadway's fate has left a thin residue of anxiety over my mood about regional politics during the years leading up to what happened yesterday. Despite having a clear favorite among the three options that have been widely-reported as having been on the table, I was prepared for a tunnel.... [read more]

Name that tunnel!
Now that are getting a tunnel, we need a nickname for it at least as good as Boston's "Big Dig." It doesn't get much more succinct than "Big Dig." Say it and everybody knows what you are talking about: $14.6 Billion, more than double over budget, $22 billion including financing costs, and still leaking. The best I am able to come up with for the new tunnel is "Greg's huge hole-in-the-ground." Maybe funny, but way too long probably, and unsuitable... [read more]

The Cube
In 1969 NBC had a show called Experiments in Television. It gave young directors a chance to put pretty much anything they wanted on the air.

People could come in and out, but he was never able to escape. Today I see it was a study... [read more]

This exemption is also available to disabled individuals regardless of age. The exemption is codified in RCW 84.36.379-389 However, the Dept of Revenue [DOR], and County Assessors, invented a homegrown method in how a person is to calculate their income that is required by statute. The instructions developed by the DOR require individuals... [read more]
