Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Sorry I missed it. I was intrigued that none of the printed obits mentioned that he was one of the Seattle Seven, or that one of Nixon’s Justice Department lackeys described him as a “public enemy”.
He was a good man, a fallible human, and he did the best he could with what he had.
Actually, Walt was not one of the Seattle Seven. But you can read more about them here:

Of course, one person who was a member was Jeff Dowd, the inspiration for “The Dude” in The Big Lebowski.
Goldy, it was a pleasure chatting with you at the service. Glad you could attend, and I’ll try to make it to the next “Drinking Liberally,” to raise a glass in honor of Walt.
Walt has now become one of the Seattle 7? He would get a chuckle out of that.
Maybe he could be number 8. :-)
