Whoever said education will fix a lot of our problems was right. We think voting out corrupt politicians will fix our problems, but guess who’s anxiously waiting to keep them voted in?
How did the City Council Q&A go at tonights Boys & Girls Club??
And the forum?
I was at the forum. Pete Holmes and Mr Bloom shone brighter than all the rest.
Me too. Pete Holmes for City Attorney was a revelation. Mr. Bloom was great. Joe Mallahan spoke first but was the weakest of the major candidates.
Was it the same Mallahan who was beloved by Southeast Seattle “activists” of a certain stripe because of his principled opposition to Nickels’ plan for the Mercer Mess, which they claimed was a giveaway to Paul Allen/Vulcan/South Lake Union/Developers with Deep Pockets?
Well ain’t life a bitch? http://www.thesunbreak.com/2009/09/22/mallahan-victim-of-vulcan-mind-meld
Now that Tayloe Washburn’s pulling his strings, is their sweetheart flip-floppin’ and two-timin’ with the Devil?
Don’t shed a tear, @anonymous, @fredquarnstrom and others. Mallahan always promised that “you can get in [his] face.” He wants you to hold him accountable.

Trellis, I want to hug you.
Maybe on our walk from Rainier Beach to Alki beach; kind of a fresh-water-to-salt-water Louis&Clark-type deal. With neighbors and their parents. And any other RVP idiots who might join in.
Or at least shake your hand.
Thanks for all you do, Trellis.

Apparently, Beachnut is now going to determine who is an idiot and who is not an idiot, for us, and we are expected to simply go along with the assumption that Beachnut is reputable, wise, and intelligent enough to make such decisions for our entire community.
Are all comments now posted at the discretion of the editor? Just curious.
“Trellis, I want to hug you.

Kind of has that Bromance/forbidden love kind of feel.
“Are all comments now posted at the discretion of the editor?”
No. Once your first comment has been approved you have free reign.
Marky, why the hate?
By RVP idiot I mean anyone, like you or me, that may dream of a better tomorrow for our community. Is that so bad? Stupid, maybe; but not so bad.
And please don’t think that anyone will take your place. I may wander, but I always come back to you.
No hate here.
Kissie, kissie.
If I posted something awhile back that made anyone feel uncomfortable, I’d love the editor to email me that, as I was unconscious at the time.
Might have ended “Just/Kidding”
Everything is smokey from there, as is most of the rest of my life.
Great vacation, so far! Bend ROCKS!
And MacBeth is one great reason to venture south. Much applause about something.
