In his grief, our good friend Stefan has suggested that Republicans respond to the failure of Dino Rossi’s meritless election contest, by committing massive electoral fraud.
I posted Plan B back in January. Of course it was all tongue-in-cheek.
On the other hand, as we learned, if individuals acting on their own in an uncoordinated fashion implemented Plan B, it would be impossible for anybody to do anything about it. Of course, I’m only making a sardonic comment about our election laws. I am not encouraging anybody to implement Plan B
“Plan B” urges Republicans from around the state and the nation to illegally register to vote in Seattle’s Precinct 1823, so as to defeat King County Executive Ron Sims and Council Chairman Larry Phillips. Hmm. I suppose that’s the kind of humorless, futile gesture you might expect from a poor loser… or a prick.
Of course, I’m only making a sardonic comment about Stefan. I am not encouraging anybody to call Stefan a poor loser or a prick. (But just in case you want to, here’s his email address.)

No doubt his plan to rally to get others to commit election fraud will work to some degree.
Whether that constitutes a crime or not is another matter.
However, if he does enough toward the plan to register and have others register wrongly, it could constitute a conspiracy to commit fraud which a crime in and of itself. I don’t know how much more he is doing to encourage and plan with others to commit these acts more than just making a call to action post.
Perhaps he should have consulted his posting attorneys first. Its hard to believe they condoned it.
By the way, his proposed actions are exactly the type of evidence that actually would cause cause an election result to be overturned.

Stealing elections and stuffing ballot boxes are two examples given of what might constitute projection of such ethics, but I don’t think the author intended to produce a list that was either exclusive or exhaustive.

In case you have’nt heard, there’s a few $$$ to be made in the tourist industry. Seattle is known worldwide for two things: the space needle and the monorail. Making the monorail bigger and better is like an amusement park improving its rides.YOU might not want to go where the monorail goes, but there are a lot of touists with pocketsful of money that do. The monorail keeps popping back up because ultimately, business wants it but they don’t want to offend the Rep. base by endorsing an “impractical” waste of money.

Oh, you said “should.” My bad, I read it quickly, thought you meant where DOES Washington rank. Well OK, here’s my answer. A lot of the states back east that have lower gas taxes have toll roads. We don’t. If you drive through Chicago, about every 7 or 8 miles you come to another toll both and have to throw several more quarters into the hopper. Every time you drive.
Roads cost about the same everywhere. We have to pay for them one way or another.

I pretty much go with 61’s answer, and I too think ST is a boondoggle. I don’t think we should necessarily stive to be “highest” in transportation and education. Rather, we should be focusing on what our needs are, and what it takes to meet those needs. Washington doesn’t have unusual transportation needs, but over the last 25 years we failed to make the investments necessary to keep up with population growth, normal maintenance, and bridge replacement so we have to pay for catch-up now. At today’s costs. I do think we need to make above average investments in our educational system because our state’s economy is heavily dependent on technological industries and our children won’t be able to get jobs here, and live and work here, if they can’t get the education they need to work in those industries.

I’m Glad some of you Government “workers”(I use that term quite loosely) are blogging because you have less time to fuck taxpayers with their own money. In fact, if more government “workers” blogged their 35 hours per week, Washington State wouldn’t be in such a financial bind!! In fact, if we just paid you to blog from home, it would clear up some of the traffic problems and solve the oil shortabe issues resulting in lower prices for the rest of us!

Our “tourist” monorail is about to be replaced by a 15-mile line that is designed to carry 10’s of thousands of commuters every day. It remains to be seen whether the monorail will help ease traffic congestion in the I-5 and SR-99 corridors, but the hope is it will. More likely, it will only contribute to helping keep the congestion worsen as population continues to grow. The monorail “green line” will be positioned between the existing I-5 and SR-99 corridors, adding a third major north-south arterial in a part of the city where there currently is none. Seattle, of course, is a strip city with a strong north-south orientation because it is geographically hemmed in by water on both east and west, and can’t grow in those directions. The Green Line will directly link West Seattle on the south and Ballard on the north to downtown, providing commuters in those areas a direct access to the downtown office core, where 10,000’s of Seattle’s jobs are located, that they do not now have. In other words, the monorail project is in no sense a tourist attraction, it is intended to carry a significant share of the city’s commuter traffic.

I appreciate your comments about confidentiality, Mr. I. Regarding personal use of gov’t computers, I can only speak from personal experience, which is that I worked for several state agencies over the years and none of them permitted this. Not even to check personal e-mail or bid on Ebay. New hires were given the policy in writing, the IT departments did track it and check up on the employees, and the violators got caught and disciplined. They got a warning for the first offense, suspension without pay for second offense, and termination for third offense. What more can you ask the agency managements to do? I would venture to say that computer policies and usage are far more lax in the private sector than in government. Public managers are extremely conscious of public attitudes toward personal use of public property, and the policies are very strict, and very strictly enforced. So, once again, you are blowing hot air with no foundation in fact, for the crassly cynical purpose of promoting your mindless anti-government ideology. You named yourself well — Mr. Cynical.

On many forums and blogs(I stick to a one-username per blog/forum rule, sometimes they are different), I have been mentioning about the immenent demise of what for 20+ years had been the closest thing we had to Light Rail in the Central Puget Sound region, the Waterfront Streetcar. It is not just for tourists, it has commuter potential, especially if expanded North and East, and into Downtown, but the Seattle Art Museum is adamant that the maintenance facility be torn down. Well, if SAM wants to build their sculpture park, why not offer to pay 50% of the cost of a fleet of modern cars, and lay track to Atlantic Base, so Metro can keep the line running. SAM wants it to keep running, but the barn has to go. The line was renamed 3 years ago in honor of former city councilmember George Benson. In an integrated and seamless transit system, streetcars are viable. They are the cheapest form of LRT.

says “I do not work for the government”…
That’s right…most of you dipshits do like if any real “work” but collect a government paycheck nonetheless!!
OK Donnageddon, maybe you don’t even receive a paycheck from the government. My apologies for saying Stefan only bans government workers posting from work…………
He also bans stupid cocksuckers like you who post from anywhere!
You have no idea what public service USED to mean, do you bleeding hemmorhoidface! It keeps getting more and more watered down….and government workers complain they are not appreciated or respected. DUHHHHHHHHH! You same a$$holes that pound home some bastardized seperation of church & state nonsense want people to believe a tax paying citizen shouldn’t speak of her faith in a government building…but some government worker paid to presumably do a specific job ought to have the “free speech” to post on Blogs using government computers, government internet connections on government time in a government office in a government building. Consistency ain’t yer thang!!

“But, but, but who wuz in charge back then Priscilla? U or us?”
Neither. We had a divided legislature, with the R’s controlling at least one house, and what we got was partisan bickering and no action. If I had to put the blame in one place, I would lay it on obstinate Republican opposition to taxes.

I am not encouraging anybody to forward the page and comments from Sound Politics where Sharkansky and the posters to his site encourage others to commit felonies to the state Attorney General’s office (cc: Sam Reed, for good measure)…
… oh, wait, I am. Do it.
