– Welcome back Goldy.

– Is the marbled murrelet habitat on the Olympic Peninsula worth $600,000?

– Too much rain, you guys. It’s starting to get expensive for King County and the rest of Western Washington.

– It seems to me that putting young people and their families thousands of dollars into debt for a fraud is more than just a little bit evil and more than just a little bit sinful.

– With all the problems with Russia, one could be forgiven for being distracted from what North Korea is doing, but what the fuck is North Korea doing?

– Justice James Johnson is not a favorite around here, but I wish him the speediest of recoveries.

    Hey conservative, tea party clowns…

    The minimum wage policies in this state (highest minimum, tied to inflation, etc.) are real JOB KILLERS!

    Read all about it:

    When Washington residents voted in 1998 to raise the state’s minimum wage and link it to the cost of living, opponents warned the measure would be a job-killer. The prediction hasn’t been borne out.

    In the 15 years that followed, the state’s minimum wage climbed to $9.32 — the highest in the country. Meanwhile job growth continued at an average 0.8 percent annual pace, 0.3 percentage point above the national rate. Payrolls at Washington’s restaurants and bars, portrayed as particularly vulnerable to higher wage costs, expanded by 21 percent. Poverty has trailed the U.S. level for at least seven years.

    I amazed how conservatives think Obama is a terrible dictator, but think Putin is a great leader.

    “If you’re poor, stop being poor.” Well, Duh! The poor are only poor because they want to be.

    Did I hear the contemptible idiot Rick Perry take potshots again at California?

    Jerry Brown gets the last laugh:

    He gave boasting his best try in his State of the State speech in January: “What a comeback it is: a million new jobs since 2010, a budgetary surplus in the billions and a minimum wage rising to $10 an hour!”

    Excellent work Governor Brown.
