I’m as for a silly list as anyone, and this list of possible new ways to raise revenue for the state is pretty solid. But, it does highlight the absurdity of how far we’re behind on a decent budget. And we all know that a income tax is the only real long-term fix for our current budget woes.

Stocks are up again today, but I won’t weep for market timers. They were warned decades ago. All the good investors told them not to do this. Money under mattresses, in gold, or stashed in zero-interest bank accounts is dead money. I don’t care if stupid trolls lose their money; that’s their problem. I just don’t want to see them peddling their nonsense “advice” on this blog. Not that anyone listens to Puffed Butt anyway, other than his equally moronic radiologist sidekick …
I don’t see any serious suggestions in the Spokesman-Review’s list of revenue “ideas” that is actually useful for solving the state’s revenue problem. Of course, that’s typical of rightwing newspapers; see, e.g., the Seattle Times. Of course we need a state income tax, but that’s like saying we need a cure for cancer. Actually, we’re probably much closer to a cancer cure than we are to a state income tax. Meanwhile Republicans, predictably, intend to balance the state budget by raiding the cops’, firefighers’, and teachers’ pension funds so this state’s rich folks will never, ever, have to pay any state taxes.
Bernie Sanders won 3 of the 4 states whose Democratic delegates were up for grabs this weekend. If he wins the Democratic nomination, all of Puffed Butt’s rants about Benghazi (don’t hear about that much anymore) and Hillary’s emails will go down the drain as useless exercises in futility.
I’m sure the Bible thumpers will have their panties in a bunch over this one. Hey – welcome to the Party!

Sort of Breaking News Dep’t: Seattle Times Endorses Kasich, Sanders
First of all, you wonder, why now? Their unconvincing explanation:
“Editor’s note: The crucial process of selecting the nation’s presidential candidates proceeds painfully far away. Washington’s voters are largely sidelined, with Democrats selecting their delegates in March 26 caucuses and Republicans selecting theirs in a May 24 primary. Regardless, the spectacle, especially on the Republican side, has prompted the editorial board to make our primary and caucus recommendations early.”
This sounds more like some sort of primal scream than a timely and thoughtful newspaper editorial. But ST editorials are never thoughtful, so I guess no precedent is being violated. The editorial begins,
“Blurry-eyed Republicans looking for a plausible candidate to represent their party in November should turn to Ohio Gov. John Kasich. As Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio descend into the cesspool maelstrom, Kasich offers the experience, composure, dignity and authentic achievement of a credible candidate.”
Hard to argue with that. Kasich is the only grownup in the GOP Romper Room.
This being the Seattle Times, with all that implies, I expected the editorialists to grudgingly endorse the socialist as the not-Benghazi, not-emails, not-Wall Street speaking fees candidate. And this isn’t altogether incorrect; the editorial alludes to Hillary’s “increasing challenges, not the least of which are ongoing questions about her home email server when she was secretary of state.” But it mostly praises Sanders in positive terms, which coming from the Seattle Times is surprising, although of course it doesn’t miss the opportunity to call him “less experienced” and his plans “impractical.”
Which doesn’t leave much doubt about which party’s nominee the Seattle Times will endorse in November. But we already knew that, didn’t we?

@2,
The Spokansas Review issues another typical “conservative” response. Calcified in their thinking by voodoo “conservative” orthodoxies, and perpetually distracted by manufactured “outrages”, they are unable to offer meaningful solutions to real governmental challenges.
They should stick to what they know: fishing reports, high school sports and incessant whinging about WSU playing a game in Seattle.

The ultimate boob and babbling jackass fantasy flick!
@9 That article is from Jan. 2015, before Carson was a candidate. Being a plagiarist didn’t hurt him. Not knowing jackshit about domestic or foreign policy killed his campaign. That happens to a lot of amateur politicians who view the White House as an entry-level job.
@8 Same flaw as the sales tax, leaves too much to individual discretion. Let’s tax capital gains. People are less willing to give those up, those paying the tax can easily afford it, and they’re undertaxed now.
How about creating a state owned pharmaceutical company? There’s some big money. It could cut into big pharma corruption as a bonus. Or how about a state owned auto insurance company? One that couldn’t waste billions on advertising and then pass the cost on to drivers. Or just tax advertising? Yes! Tax drug and insurance companies advertising and tell them they cannot pass the tax onto customers. There’s some money!
Michael Bloomberg announced today he will not run for president.
@11,
The man’s a manipulative genius. But there’s no shortage of them standing in line to sift through the pocket lint of the credulous douche bags in thrall to “conservatism”.
Re-re-re-re-cycling the failed trope about Democrats being the party of slavery plays well, and exclusively to latent white racists and lick spittle aspirational non-whites like that fuckin’ troll.
Amuse yourself by watching aging gas-bag Mary Matalin threaten to choke Stephen Henderson of the DFP for daring to step out of line, however carefully (starts at 1:36). Matalin too falls back on the trope. But doing so serves only to change the subject. Which is the fucking point. Like intoning the magic incantations “race card”, and “all lives matter”, referencing ancient party history is intended to shut down the conversation. It is the rhetorical equivalent of them jamming their fingers in their ears and shouting “la, la, la, la, la…”
Meanwhile, in a nearby primary state, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are busy jerking off Klansmen. The cognitive dissonance is so thick you could cut it with chain saw.

National DUMMOCRETINS are really worried over this scandal even though HA DUMMOCRETINS keep scoffing at it!
Perspective.
It’s a good thing. Sometimes it helps to review a bit of what’s been going on to re-establish perspective. Like the plan now generally agreed upon within the Republican party and enthusiastically promoted by each of its two (let’s be real) remaining candidates for President.
They promise to deport 11 million people, generally without much in the way of process. They promise to “round them up” domestically using conventional law enforcement, and send them “elsewhere”. This they are promising. Over and over again.
Think about it. 11 million people. Arrested, transported, booked, temporarily held, and then sent across our borders to other sovereign nation’s territories. How the fuck does that work? How the fuck does that not spark a state of war and UN sanctions?
Train, boat, airplane? (remember the 11 million?) Where’s this train, boat, airplane going and how does anybody honestly expect it to be allowed to get there? Any way you slice it such a plan inevitably involves violating the territorial sovereignty of some other nation. Big time. They aren’t just going to give the U.S. “permission” to relocate 11 million people (or even one million) onto their national territory. Even the most advanced industrialized nations would refuse and ultimately be forced to go to war over something like this.
But that’s their fucking Republican plan. No immigration reform. Just a 40 foot Mexico wall and a massive deportation. They demand they be put in charge. They refuse to allow the government to operate otherwise. And if we give in to them this bullshit is what they promise to do.
The grifter waited until he had all the dumbfuck loon’s mattress money, then grifter drops out of the race! Sucks to be a dumbfuck loon!
More truths that scare DUMMOCRETINS… https://pjmedia.com/diaryofamadvoter/2016/03/06/the-democratic-debates-are-even-worse-than-the-republican/

They promise to “round them up” domestically using conventional law enforcement, and send them “elsewhere”. – So we all know the Oregon moron loves sanctuary cities where many of them have killed US Citizens.

@31,
his head is exploding because The Grifter quit and now poor fuckwad has lost his way. He has to choose between one of the two remaining white supremacists. Tough choice.
One of them is more phony-pious. While the other is more televangelical. The pious one who talks directly to Jesus is sure to be a top contender for the idiot-troll vote. But he’s foreign born.
Toss up.

@27 “Libtards are at the end of their putrid ideas”
Abolish child labor

That’s only a small part of the liberal agenda, but it’ll get you started. And what’s the conservation agenda? Turn back the clock to the 1880s. Who wants to live in the 19th century?Besides Republicans, I mean. That’s why the GOP is, and always will be, a minority party.
Yes, perspective. Maybe it’s just what Republicans do these days.
-We’re going to repeal Obamacare.
-We’re going to outlaw abortion.
-We’re going to privatize social security.
-We’re going to allow prayer in public schools.
-We’re going to outlaw flag burning.
-We’re going to achieve peace with dignity.
-We’re going to cut taxes and lower the deficit.
-We’re going to balance the federal budget.
-We’re going to fight two endless wars simultaneously without borrowing.
-We’re going to deport 11 million people.
This is what “conservatives” and Republicans stand for. Wild, extremist claims and promises without any plan to back any of it up. There is no real plan to deport 11 million people because no such plan could ever be conceived, mush less implemented. But if you are a “conservative” implementation is apparently not your strong suit.

@44 “CNN and their lying liars…” sez the moron who regularly links to Breitbart. How do you know the CNN report is wrong? Because a Rubio mouthpiece denies it? Here’s a prediction for ya: CNN will be right by next Tuesday. Rubio will be gone after losing Florida to Trump.

@61 I get the impression Rubio won’t be running for president much longer, and it’s a given he won’t be a senator much longer, because his term expires next January and he isn’t running for re-election.
As for Ted Crud, unlike Marco, he’ll still have a paying job next January — and probably beyond. He’s rapidly evolving into the GOP’s last hope of stopping Donald Hitler for whatever that’s worth. If that doesn’t work out, and it probably won’t, he shouldn’t have much difficulty getting re-elected in 2018; after all Texass is Texass. He’s also Cliven Bundy’s last, best hope; but Crud still has two substantial hurdles to overcome (named “Trump” and “Clinton”) before Cliven can get his “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
