My building has a parking strip that is reserved for tenants and the businesses in the building. It’s only a handful of spots, maybe ten or so. At night on the weekends, club goers sometimes see an empty spot and decide to park. Maybe they get lucky and the spot’s owner is out of town. But other times, a tow truck has to be called to remove the vehicle.
While it’s nice to see vehicles removed, I’ve never had the chance to actually see the look on someone’s face when they realize their car has been towed.
Today, I got that chance. And it was awesome. After a night of partying, it’s got to suck big time to come out of the club to find your car gone. But, fuck ’em if they can’t read the signs.
Dear Will,
You are so evil.
It must have been wonderful.

…kind of like when the kids who parked across the entrance to our elderly neighbor’s driveway in Wallingford during Fourth of July came back to find dog poo crammed into the door handles of all four doors.
She’s a mean old lady, my neighbor! Don’t screw with her parking!
…and given the state of the planting strips between sidewalk and road in Wallingford or any of Seattle’s slightly less urban neighborhoods, I’m sure there was plenty of dog poo to be found.
Even without clicking through, the words “And it was awesome” as a colored hyperlink cracked me up this morning.
Is there any chance we can get a tow truck to take the traitors out of the White House?
Hey, what happened to all the heat????

You dumbass liberals are jinxing summer with your global warming nonsense.
Not only is your attitude neither compassionate nor caring – it’s also not very green. What’s the carbon footprint of a big gas-guzzling tow truck coming out to haul away a car to a earth-hogging impound that probably has no trees but lots of emissions concentrated in one area – when the car being towed would be driven away in a few hours? I bet it’s pretty big, so you better not let RFK Jr. find out or he may start calling you a treasonous traitor. Can’t you just suck it up and take one for the team? After all, a few hours of parking inconvenience is nothing compared to helping kill Mother Earth.
Dang… I was hoping that while Cheney was president for coupla hours this morning that he would do a full pardon for scooter.
Woulda been great to hear you fucking losers howl…
Man, there’s nothing plummeting polls to bring the conservative juveniles in for their little hissy fits.
It’s so refreshing to hear the screams of the losers…..
If Mark really had a pot to piss in, he’d have a life. Instead he just masturbates with his keyboard, pretending to be a real person, oblivious to his own transparency.
A frustrated, enraged 8th grader that thinks we give a shit about his lies and posturing.
I hate to laugh at the pathetic, but it’s hard to resist.
So are you advocating that city dwellers actually own cars instead of ride bikes and metro? How very un-lib of you. Careful VP Gore might take your membership card away.
SJ’s version …
We live in a wealthy area of Seattle, the East side of Capitol Hill, on a street rated near the top by our friendly realtors for increasing values. Houses sell for well over 1 million and some of our neighbors could actually even afford these prices. More and more they bought the houses at these prices and more than a few considered a $1,000,000 house a fixer upper and went on to spend a lot more than that. Some days I feel like I the neighborhood beggar.But then we are not yrt the only “normal” folks here.
Anyhoo… Back to Will’s revenge. There is a fire hydrant in front to of our house. A number of visitors to our neighborhood feel that the puropose of a fire hydrant os to mark their personal space. (I would call these folks SOB’s if I were sure the simile would be understood).
Do you’all know how pissed folks get when they finf the SPD ticketing or towing their cars! To be fair, we have notified our neighbors that we consider the rpesence of an accessible hydrant in front of our home more than a mere ammenity (as does PEMCO!). Still, every so often some SOB shows up in their automobeeel, raises their hind leg and pees on OUR hydrant.
Tow anyone?
Good job on the parking. Here’s one I rarely pass the chance to do. (Keeping in mind that a friend is wheelchair bound and after spending a day with him recently I was educated as to the need for the special parking spots.)
When I see some young able-bodied jerk parking in the handicapped spot, I wait and tell ’em “It doesn’t mean MENTALLY handicapped, sonny.”
They usually get mad, but this means I made my point. Sort of like when right wing trolls post their shit here–#5 for example.
Mr. Redneck.
At this point, we’d be thrilled to have Mr. Libby receive a full pardon. I only wish the folks in the White House were as stupid as some of the folks on the right that are clamoring for a pardon.
You see, Mr. Redneck, if Mr. Libby receives a pardon, then he can no longer use his Constitutional right against self-incrimination as an excuse for refusing to truthfully answer questions about his role in the whole sordid mess.
Of course, if he then refuses to answer, or deliberately gives false testimony under oath, that is a new crime, not covered by the pardon.
Mr. Libby is nothing more than a middleman, and everyone knows it. Most of us don’t really care if he ever spends a day in jail, we just want the truth. His conviction, while certainly justified by the facts, is very similar to the conviction of a mid-level gangster. Yes, he did the crime and deserves the time, but we really want his boss.
Which many people theorize is the reason for the commutation. Mr. Libby won’t spend a day in jail, won’t lose a dime of his own money, and has employment for life, so the prosecutors have no leverage to encourage him to testify, but since his case is still technically “on appeal”, Congress cannot force him to testify.
So, Mr. Redneck, we’d love to see Mr. Libby get a full pardon at this point, but it’s unlikely that the folks in the White House will oblige us.
And unfortunately, most of the reasonably intelligent people in the right wing have already figured that out. You might want to talk to one of them and have them explain it to you.
