Man it’s going to be hot as fuck today. I am going to insist that you get yourself a big glass of water right now. Don’t wait. Throw some ice in. It already feels gross and it’s only getting worse.

It’s Tuesday! And that gives you a darned good excuse to go out, because the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will get together to talk politics and drink beer. Won’t you join us?

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us out on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

– Racing the 8 for hopefully better service in the future.

– We’re going to have to do more to save the orcas at a time when the Federal government is doing less.

Going to have to decide who to vote for for King County Executive soon. I recommend the Hacks and Wonks interviews if you haven’t heard them yet.

Since there wasn’t a post on Friday, this is a bit stale. King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson has got to go. Like, obviously don’t vote for him for Executive but also, he has to go. No fucking stalkers. Like I hope he gets help, but not while he has a position of public trust.
