– A suspension of sweeps of Tent City 3 is great news indeed. Now maybe the city can work on more permanent solutions to homelessness.
– A more walkable Olympia would be nice.
– Artist stitches catcalls into beautiful needlework
– Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ Q&A about innovative policies won’t answer questions about innovative polices.
– Since I mentioned unnecessarily quoting the founders last week, I don’t even understand why you’d go out of your way to misquote them.
I can do it too.
Ronald Reagan was a deep advocate for the power of government to help people. “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help,” clearly displays his core principle that in times of natural or man made disaster only the power of the United States Government can effectively ease the suffering of Americans.
“I’m from the Government and I’m here to help,”
Reagan said those words when he was describing to most feared 9 words in America.
I’m from the Church and I’m not here to help.
Hispanic man delivers absentee ballots in Arizona: Conservatives demand he be killed

“Commenters on the video’s YouTube are calling for Marine’s death. “This is a high crime, it is treason to this country and a betrayal of democracy,” one writes. “This should be a crime punishable by death.”
“I am going to find this illegal-loving scumbag and kill him,” writes another.”
The gutless thuggery of anonymous commentators.
“I’m from the Multinational Corporation and I’m here to help”
Cathy McMorris Rodgers isn’t afraid she’ll lose her title of WA’s derpiest congress person to Clint Didier!
“Cathy McMorris Rodgers isn’t afraid she’ll lose her title of WA’s derpiest congress person to Clint Didier!”
As long as she has her own Ham radio buried in a metal box somewhere, she’ll have nothing to fear from Clint. Or the EMP Apocalypse.
Misquote the founders, misquote Jesus…it’s all pretty much the same thing.
Salting a crowd with paid applause is one of the oldest carnival barker tricks in the book. Mitch McConnell apparently has to pay people to clap for him.

I’ve posted this before, but I think it bears repeating: There’s a decent chance the battle for Senate control could turn out better than the polls suggest. This is because Republicans just can’t keep their hands off taxpayer money or panties that don’t belong to their wives. Their sense of entitlement drives them to do this stuff, you see, and because they live in a bubble, they don’t comprehend how other people (read: voters) see their behavior. They themselves see nothing wrong with it, so it doesn’t occur to them anyone else might see anything wrong with it, so they don’t find out how the public is reacting to them until they’re staring at the (to them) incomprehensible election results, and by then it’s too late.

Those aren’t ten words each. Reagan’s quote is nine words.
Here’s another example of the self-destructive GOP behavior that keeps them from winning elections: Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle says women shouldn’t vote for “the same reason why young women on juries are not a good idea. They don’t get it!'”

Ladies, I think you should vote and serve on juries anyway.
You can tell election day is rapidly approaching. Republicans are worried sick that people might vote.
It’s just going to be Republicans and Democrats. Nothing is really going to change.
@8. How do you know it was a misquote? After all, If the King James Bible was good enough for Jesus, It’s good enough for me!!
Here is a doozie:
“Author Wants Southern States To Secede Over Gay Rights, Name New Country ‘Reagan'”
“Conservative columnist and former Reagan administration aide Douglas MacKinnon is out with a new book calling for Southern states to secede…again. […] MacKinnon called for a movement of states, starting with South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, to establish a new country that will adhere to the Religious Right’s political agenda.”
“MacKinnon specifically cited advances in gay rights as a reason for Southern states to leave the U.S. and create a new country.”

You think Puddy would be welcome and enjoy living there? Be interesting to ask him after 5 years if he made the right decision.
I have to admit, even though I don’t get that mind numbing headache trying to deciper the ebolics, but I miss Puffy, I use to like telling him how stupid he is.
@16 – I allways believed and still believe that this country would go to civil war over gay marriage. But more of a fear than a reality. That guy is proof that it is fearfull.
Yippee for gross homeless camps!!! Best thing you can do, is to not give to panhandlers and do not provide idiotic “solutions” like tent cities.
@19. Here’s a better question for you. Why do you think people are in the Tent City Homeless camps? What are your top 3 reasons? And what would you do about those reasons?
Laziness? Rents are too high? Cannot find jobs? Mental problems keep them from getting work? Society can’t change laziness and I have not sympathy for that set of people. For the rest, we could craft goverment or private or religious based programs and solutions to help them get out the tents, if we had the will. Do we? Do you? Do you care enough to give of your time, your money and your political capitol or would you rather just gripe about it?
@19. Another way to look at it?
You really think people live in tent encampments because they get your dollar bill from begging?
