That fresh pile of poop on your front lawn, near the walkway? It wasn’t a dog. It was me.
Last night I was visiting friends on the Island, and I had a little too much to drink. So I drove over to your house, scaled the security gate, dropped my pants, and took a dump.
It felt good. (You know, the way you must feel every time your paper shits all over the citizens of Seattle.)
Now I know in a region with a functional, well-funded government, this is the sort of disgusting, uncivil behavior the authorities might investigate and prosecute, but since you clearly hate government (or at least, hate paying for it, and see absolutely no need to leave it in the hands of a qualified executive) I’m guessing you wouldn’t bother to waste precious tax dollars by calling the police over something petty like this.
Oh, and when you have one of your servants clean it up, tell them to double-glove and wear a face mask. I was eating beans.

Yet, it does kind of match my feelings for Blethen’s failed fish wrapper.

Roger Rabbit spews:
That endorsement really pissed Goldy off. This is his third consecutive thread on the topic.
I don’t blame him. It isn’t even so much who Frank endorsed as how he did it.
You see, Frank didn’t really embrace Hutch, or at least, that wasn’t his primary goal. He’s merely exploiting her candidacy as an opportunity to spit venom at unions.
Which should give her an idea of what to expect if she’s elected. In a word, she shouldn’t expect anything from Frank. He’ll dump her like an aging joint operating agreement the moment a good-looking inheritance tax repeal comes along.
That’s just the way Frank is.
Troll spews:
Does Goldy not know that Hutchison is running for King County Executive, and not Mayor of Seattle?
And does Goldy also not know that over 73% of the Seattle Times’ readers live outside the city limits?
PS, there is NO WAY that mangy lawn is Blethen’s. In my fantasies, I imagine his lawn to look lush and well-cared for, like this one:

Me spews:
Goldy – Your post is ridiculous and only shows your lack of intelligence.
Roger Rabbit spews:
To put this in context, the particular union Frank has it in for is the Newspaper Guild, of course. But he can’t get his claws into them until their contract comes up for negotiation again, so the Boeing machinists union and county employee unions will do as surrogates for now. He’s pretty typical of the type of Republican who has a bad day at work, so on his way home, he picks up a random cat and wrings its neck. That’s just how Republicans are. While he’s waiting for the Guild contract to expire, Frank amuses himself by endorsing Hutch and firing half of the newsroom.
Ryan spews:
Well, crap.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@5 Yes. A good scientist can find out all sorts of things from a turd. Without poop, we wouldn’t know who our ancestors were, much less what they ate. Shit is indispensable to science.
Troll spews:
Let me see if I understand this. Goldy is angry that someone doesn’t think like him? He is angry that the owner of the Seattle Times votes differently than himself?
Roger Rabbit spews:
@12 No. You understand nothing. You have no brain.
SJ Troll patrol spews:
@12 Troll
No, Goldy is angry that Blethen is a Troll.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@8 You’re an illiterate who knows nothing about allegory. As a feral rabbit with expertise on lawn shit, I think Goldy’s post is a literary tour de force.

Darryl spews:
Right Stuff,
“This is one of the 1000’s of posts that reinforce how NOT the media Goldy is…”
But then there is the fact that you looked, read, and commented on Goldy’s post…reinforcing that Goldy IS part of the media. You are, apparently, a regular consumer.
Troll spews:
Roger Rabbit, if Frank Blethen held the exact same views on things as Goldy, do you believe Goldy would continue to be angry with Blethen? If the answer is no, then doesn’t that tell you that Goldy is angry with Blethen because Blethen doesn’t think exactly like him?
Troll spews:
If Blethen does have a security gate, that would tell me Goldy really has been stalking the Blethen family.
Right Stuff spews:
@23
OK Darryl, True that…
BTW- today is one of those days where I see light singles out and wonder, “WTF were they thinking…..”

Not sure why the hate of Hutchinson…i guess like Palin you hate any woman who isn’t a lefty. (ok, you are lefties, and you can’t like a moderate/righty , i get that, but why the special venom for women who don’t toe your line?)
And i don’t think Hutch is exactlcy conservative. She’s said she’s pro gay , so i’m not even keen w/ her.
Its wierd you all dont realize how your venom for minor things really bolsters people to support folks like her. I will support her only because you all hate her so much.

Oy! Wrongon is back… (groan)…
Gee I didn’t know you were so “anti-gay” wrongon.. What’s wrong with gay people? What did they ever do to you? Are they a threat to the family or something stupid like so many right wingers have said?
We don’t particularly appreciate right wingers because generally they tend to be batshit insane. Cheerleading recreational wars in Iraq, torture, things like that.
Was our disdain for the woman abuser Irons all over “minor things”? If so the “bolstering” shouldn’t be much of a problem for the election of Dow Constantine.

I would not hire someone with no interest in learning how to bake to make a wedding cake, I would not hire someone to fix my car that had never even seen an engine and I won’t hire someone to be the executive of the largest county in the state who has never been an actual executive much less interested in politics.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@46 “Not sure why the hate of Hutchinson”
Even though she’s a campaign law violater, a liar, a smear artist, and a BIAW lackey who panders to the loonie wing of the Wingnut Party, we don’t hate her. We just think she’s unqualified, that’s all.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@49 I can think of lots of people that applies to. All the wingnut trolls on this board for example.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Here’s an example of Hutchison’s mealy-mouthed two-faced double-talk. She’s tried to portray herself as the protector of taxpayers from abusive taxation. I’m watching the Suzie-Dow debate on TV and she just endorsed the tunnel. In other words, she just endorsed a huge tax burden — over a billion bucks — on city taxpayers. Well, you can’t have it both ways, Suzie! You can’t be for a tunnel and say you’re against taxes unless you plan to pay for it with helium.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Now she’s calling herself an “environmentalist” because she’s for Puget Sound cleanup. (Another huge tax increase! Or do you plan to pay for that with helium, too?) Fine, as far as that goes, but Suzie is pandering to the property-rights crazies who want to secede from King County so they can bulldoze and pave over the county’s remaining rural areas in order to get a million bucks for property they paid fifty thousand for.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Suzie isn’t against light rail across Lake Washington. She’s only against using road money to build it. Another huge tax increase! That’s right, you can build light rail across Lake Washington, and if Suzie is backing the lawsuit trying to block the funding for it, then money has to come from somewhere else, and there’s no somewhere else except higher taxes! Unless she plans to pay for it with helium.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Helium Suzie is going to pay for everything by taking health benefits away from bus drivers and jail guards.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Well, the debate’s over, and I have to say that Suzie’s years of TV anchor experience shows. She’s definitely slick. Dow, lacking her on-camera experience, looks a little more awkward. And Suzie obviously has spent a lot of time working with the best media consultants that developers’ money can buy to polish her presentation. Folksy anecdotes, and so on. But it’s all very contrived, and all it does is put pretty wrapping paper and a pretty ribbon around a box of bullshit.

Roger Rabbit spews:
Seattle Times Ridicules Hutchison’s Claims
Two separate articles by two different ST reporters debunk Suzie’s portrayal of Dow Constantine as a “big spender” and her touting of her own achievements at Seattle Symphony.
Reporter Keith Ervin wrote,
“When the … King County Council began deliberations on the 2007 budget … Dow Constantine … whack[ed] $3 million from … Ron Sims’ proposed budget and [increased] reserves. … Constantine … claims a record of financial restraint, focus on efficiency and spending cuts. It’s a far different description from the one offered by … Susan Hutchison, who paints him as a free-spending incumbent who … allowed the cost of government to spiral out of control.”
http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....ne18m.html
Meanwhile, reporter Bob Young writes,
“Susan Hutchison says she saved the Seattle Symphony from the brink of bankruptcy. … But … its budget problems, like King County’s, haven’t been fixed. The symphony ended its fiscal year … with a $1.2 million deficit. … Melinda Bargreen, former Seattle Times music critic, who covered the Seattle Symphony for 31 years, agreed: ‘The truth is, the symphony was not saved.’”

Bruce spews:
This is juvenile and reduces your credibility. And that’s coming from a fan who agrees 100% with your opinion of the Times’s endorsement.

Lots of projection going on here. If Suzie is a spender and inexperienced, yipes, don’t foist Dow off on us. For that matter, don’t give us any tired King County council hacks.

Ohhh sorry… you can’t afford that fun since you are really trying hard for that next job here 18 hours a day 7 days a week. Thought by now you’d answer #61.
YLB spews:
69 – Wow Stupes. So Sue is into “fun things” – that makes her qualified to run a county with a bigger budget than some states and a whole slew of responsibilities from law enforcement, animal control, to sewage treatment and public transportation. Not only that but she has to chart an effective way forward to maintain the services people expect and make things even better even both quality of life and business climate.
Based on what she’s done so far in her various jobs I don’t believe she’s up to the task. Instead I believe she’ll just do whatever BIAW and developers want her to do.
let’s see what else… uhhhh… hmmm.. #61..
F you!
Next?
righton spews:
Why do you all ignore how badly Chairman Dow and Sims and the council have screwed things up? you focus on Hutchinson not being on the council…which to me is either great (she wasn’t one of the morons) or neutral in that she didn’t do anything related.
How does Dow feel about our bloated spending on the light rail to nowwhere?
Puddybud Remembers spews:
