Imagine being too racist for the College Republicans. Imagine being such a shitty organization that they have to explain, “I am NOT with those jerkoffs!” Oh, don’t get it wrong, they’re all assholes. But apparently the National College Republicans have a different threshold, or at least don’t want to have to explain the UW chapter anymore.

I don’t understand how a campaign can be so flush with cash, and mess up the basic requirements (item 2). Seriously, the Orion campaign should be able to get its ducks in a row.

Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by a week from tomorrow. If you live in Seattle please vote for the person Amazon doesn’t want (I generally say don’t vote out of spite, and fortunately it’s also going to be the better choice). If you haven’t got your ballot in the mail yet, please contact your county elections office.

It’s soup season. The best time of the year. I made myself a nice lentil soup yesterday. My trick is to throw a couple cinnamon sticks in with your other ingredients.

A friend and I were talking about the most important thing, the nonsense tax votes we get to do. You see, there was an initiative once. And now every year people are confused about why we’re voting on this bullshit.

I vote for all of them. The Legislature has already thought about it. The governor has signed it. It’s fine.

If you’re in one of the flood watch areas, stay safe. Parts of rivers mostly in the Cascades and Olympics. This rainy mess is continuing.

There’s a lot of corporate money going to the Seattle City Council races. I get it. Amazon doesn’t want to pay taxes. But they are part of the community. They should pay their share for the problems that their growth in the city has caused.

Did you watch the Democratic debate? Do you have a sense of how Tom Steyer’s Presidency would be?

What I’m saying is we should have only my preferred candidates. And better questions than “what jerks are you friends with?”

Your ballot should be coming in the mail this week. City and county council and initiatives aren’t the biggest positions. Especially when the disfunction at the Federal level takes up so much oxygen. But shit is important.

October 7 Open Thread

Law and order conservatives sure love committing crimes. It’s President Trump quid pro quoing in public, let alone in private. It’s failed City Council candidate Ari Hoffman threatening to tow people’s RV’s.

So, the President asks you to commit crimes against humanity. Maybe shooting border crossing people. You can’t just ignore it. Even just leaking to a couple of reporters who are in the middle of writing a book isn’t enough. It’s still complicity.

Open Thread 9-30

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 9/30/19, 8:03 am

Since my Twitter thread about this didn’t get any traction, I am going to ask here (rather than the more logical assumption that it’s just not that interesting to most people). I have a hummingbird that comes to my window for some nectar and has been for a while. For most of summer, I have left all of my windows open, but now that it’s getting chilly I only have the window with the flowers it likes open. Anyway, long story short, it got trapped in my apartment, and I couldn’t just scoot it out. So I grabbed some Tupperware and caught it then took it to an open window.

So this morning for the first time in months, I kept the window closed when I went to work. Am I doing the right thing, or should I have risked having it trapped all day?
