HA Bible Study: Genesis 6:6-7

by Goldy — Sunday, 1/14/18, 6:00 am

Genesis 6:6-7
The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”

There once was a jackass half-wit troll
Who was never even a bit droll.
Despite hands as small as a mouse,
He got to the Whitehouse
And declared much of the world was a “shithole”

I didn’t mention the carbon tax when I did the what I’d like to see from the legislature post. But sure, sign us up for that too. Our future has to be one where we don’t keep pumping out global warming gases. The sooner we start, the sooner we get there.

Open: Thread.

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 1/8/18, 7:27 am

The legislative session starts today. Are you excited? Now that it’s controlled by Democrats, what do y’all want them to do?

It seems to me that the top priority will be to finnnnnnnnaly fund education properly. Preferably with as progressive a tax as possible.

I would also like to have some version of the reproductive parity act.

And, I know I said this last year, but I would like to try to build a space elevator somewhere in Eastern or Central Washington.

Finally, I want them to resist Trump. Maybe make it tougher to deport Washington residents. Maybe fund the AG’s office more.

Thread!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 1/5/18, 7:40 am

Remember the last Congressional redistricting? Washington got an extra seat, and at least from outside, it seemed like the Democrats’ main objective was making sure Denny Heck had a seat.

I saw someone retweet Congressman Heck the other day, and I realized how little I hear about what he’s doing. I know he has been in the minority party in an obstructionist Congress, but you hear about other Democrats from Washington more often. According to his Wikipedia page, his big thing is marijuana banking. I don’t know if that’s his priority, or the priority of Wikipedia editors.

Still, he got a safe seat, and I would have hoped he could use it better than a generic Democrat.

I know that compared to the rest of the country I can’t complain, but it’s too cold. Yesterday my bus kept being a few more minutes late than the previous time I had checked. So I stood outside for like 15 minutes. I recommend against that.
