– Here’s the Families and Education Levy website.

– Dori Monson is an awful person.

– Paying for a college education is going to be harder and harder (PS, while this article itself is worth reading, I’m not sure when Publicola decides to label things “other blogs.”

– I don’t know what’s more surprising about the Arizona Diamondbacks: the how many former Mariners they have or how well they’re doing (PS on the Podcast, I love how many different ways they pronounce “JJ Putz”).

– While I’m generally opposed to using nouns as verbs, I totally use MacGyver to mean make something on the fly.

    Pssst, dummy, that picture you’re showing of the Weiner girl is on Linda Thomas’ blog, not Dori’s.

    Speaking of awful persons:

    B

    reitbart crafts a universe where trivia is paramount and important events are ignored. Dan Savage’s essay about licking doorknobs at Gary Bauer’s campaign headquarters exhibits “the vicious actions of a perverse, degraded, and disgusting human being,” but George W. Bush’s WMD lies and the tanking of America’s economy warrant nary a mention. Here is a man who believes the universe revolves around a penis and a judicial slacker, a gnome who huddles for warmth against the rapidly cooling minor victories of the past, even as he imagines himself diving forward into a roiling battle that has no bearing on how Americans actually live.

    In Carly’s world, Congressman Weenur is an OK guy – even though he sent lude texts and pics to some gal he doesnt know….but somehow dori monson is the bad guy?

    LMFAO..poor carly is really doing his bestest to stay relevant…

    The article originally appeared on Monson’s blog. I briefly heard Dori yesterday, while changing stations, bring up the yearbook topic while snickering how sorry he felt for the girl.

    Breitbart is really full of himself.

    I agree that the x-rated photo will come out no matter what Congressman Wiener does. Someone will give Breitbart a lot of money for it and or he will use some perceived slight as a reason for releasing it.

    When does it go too far? Weiner admited he sent the photos and apologized. Brietbart is he releasing the graphic photos as part of an extorted attempt to force Weiner into resigning and or controlling the message of the Dems? Brietbart had previously hinted he had x rated photos and would not release them due to the effect on Weiner’s family but would keep them as as insurance policy. One thing is obvious he is intent on destroying Weiner and will keep it going as long as he can.

    You mean someone who lives in Seattle?

    Dave Ross lives on Mercer Island. Is that rural?

    Let’s see 6.2 sq mi and 22,600 people or so – that comes out to 3452 people per square mi.

    How about Kent? Is that rural?

    28 sq mi , 92,400 residents – that comes out to..

    2836 people/sq mi.

    In 2007, the top 1% owned 50% of all investment assets; the bottom 90% owned 73% of all debt

    by Gaius Publius on 6/08/2011 01:30:00 PM

    As a follow-up to this post about the creditor class and the debtor class, we find this interesting data (h/t Paul Krugman). It’s part of a Table 9 from Edward Wolff’s Levy Institute paper, Recent Trends in Household Wealth (pdf); to see the whole table with notes, click the link and go to page 52). The highlights below are mine.

    Of course none of the republiklowns want to talk about this.

    Hey it’s nice to have money. You can do this:

    More than one in seven homeowners with loans in excess of a million dollars are seriously delinquent, according to data compiled for The New York Times by the real estate analytics firm CoreLogic.

    By contrast, homeowners with less lavish housing are much more likely to keep writing checks to their lender. About one in 12 mortgages below the million-dollar mark is delinquent.

    the clueless urban idiot comment was directed at Dave Ross’ sidekick

    So Dave Ross has a “clue” because he lives on Mercer Island where he only has to share a square mile with 3500 other people.

    What’s the magic number to lose “clue” with an moronic asswipe like you? Well Seattle’s population density certainly is higher – twice that of Mercer Island.

    Or maybe the better question is does there exist a clueless “un-urban” idiot?

    IMHO, you gotta be a contender.
