mr_peabody, after my back injury, and all of the issues with L&I, there is no such thing as a bumpy ride anymore! I can do anything!
I'm sure that many of you know that is my wife's name. Now, back a few years ago, when no one knew who I was, I mentioned that she was having to deal with a back injury issue and the frick and frack doctors that do the "independent medical exams". You know who has cataloged the info and I think I've mentioned Joan's name on ThurstonBlog.
It's not that big of a deal, except for the point that no one has the right to discuss our personal lives except us, especially in the media. I wouldn't even complain except it's great data to support the need for The Olympian to either get their blog software upgraded, or shut the thread down.
So....the following email went to Lui Long and George Le Masurier (I now cc him on everything):
"You folks ever gonna get control of this thread? It seems that after my last complaint you had enough time to look over my blog for “violations” of your policy. Maybe that time could have been spent on eliminating people that violate personal privacy of other readers and commenters."
I'm certain the Publisher enjoys seeing this sort of garbage happening in the newspaper he is responsible for. I think the next email will go to the Regional Vice President in Sacramento, also.
Yeah......a real comedian.

Suck on this Righties
Our President recently took the Republican house to the woodshed. I'm not hearing a lot of spin from his CSPAN beat down of the Bohner et. al. My fav was President Obama's spanking of some moron from Texas whining that Obama was spending us to the poor house.
[W]e came in already with a $1.3 trillion deficit before I had passed any law. What is true is we came in with $8 trillion worth of debt over the next decade -- had nothing to do with anything that we had done. It had to do with the fact that in 2000 when there was a budget surplus of $200 billion, you had a Republican administration and a Republican Congress, and we had two tax cuts that weren't paid for.
You had a prescription drug plan -- the biggest entitlement plan, by the way, in several decades -- that was passed without it being paid for. You had two wars that were done through supplementals. And then you had $3 trillion projected because of the lost revenue of this recession. That's $8 trillion.
Now, we increased it by a trillion dollars because of the spending that we had to make on the stimulus. I am happy to have any independent fact-checker out there take a look at your presentation versus mine in terms of the accuracy of what I just said.
Suck on that IV.

Larry, you should be very proud that you've been able to keep a whole set of socks busy and off the street!

Good Luck!
From a Craigslist ad:
"There where lots of young men and women, many from T.E.S.C. or at least they looked and smelled the part."
This fool left his drum kit set up at The Eagles Club, where they rent to all sorts of groups and someone lifted his cymbals. Brilliant, Einstein! He identifies himself as the "drummer for the Eagles house band" and posted his phone number (as if a thief would call him).
This clown and his band of merry men have been advertising for a keyboardist, off and on for quite some time. When I talked to them and found out they were "The Eagles house band" (read - "we play for free"), I said I was too busy with my other bookings (I play with people other than my own gigs).
One of my best decisions in life.

ALCOA, Tenn. – The son of a well-known Alcoa pastor has taken out an order of protection against his father, claiming he was threatened with a gun during an argument at a church over his lack of church attendance. The order of protection was filed by 32-year-old Michael Louis Colquitt against 60-year-old Joe Colquitt, pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church.

From Sondrak.com - NOTHING concerning Pam Roach's dismissal from caucus.
LOTS of photoshopped pictures and a copy of a receipt from a liquor store, attributed to Nancy Pelosi, but, amazingly, the location of the store was edited from the receipt, which means it could have been a receipt to the Award Celebration Party that Sondra held for herself.
None of the news that's fit to print.

State Senate Republicans have kicked Sen. Pam Roach out of caucus meetings
Bet she didn't think she would ever reach their breaking point! LOL

Roach expelled from GOP caucus meetings
Citing “hostile behavior,” state Senate Republicans have kicked GOP Sen. Pam Roach out of their private meetings.
Roach, an Auburn resident who represents the 31st District, no longer will get a voice or a vote in her caucus, where lawmakers huddle by party affiliation behind closed doors.
“As your fellow Senators it is difficult to be in a room with you when you erupt in anger,” Senate GOP caucus leaders said in a letter to Roach obtained by the News Tribune. “For our employees it is unacceptable.”
The rare step stems from an April 15, 2009, confrontation between Roach and a Senate staff lawyer who handles personnel and ethics matters, Michael Hoover, but reflects years of conflict between Roach and other Senate Republicans.
Roach reached back to those past incidents in an interview today to argue GOP leaders are persecuting her. She said she has filed requests for reconsideration of the caucus ejection and a reprimand of her by a bipartisan Senate committee that Republicans cited in their decision. But she doesn’t mind being left out of caucus, Roach said.
“It’s not anything I’m missing at all,” she said, “and it’s kind of freedom-evoking.”
The reprimand is the fifth disciplinary action by the Senate against Roach for her treatment of staff, according to the documents associated with the investigations and obtained by the News Tribune. ...

Sorry, Sarah
Paul Streitz, an early online supporter of a Palin 2012 Presidential bid – who is now independent of his online group “Draft Sarah 2012” — sent an email to Palin supporters strongly condemning the former Vice Presidential candidate for pledging to support McCain among many other things:
She has now chose to align herself with several bad actors. What should this be called, the Rinoization of Sarah Palin.
At the time of the election, perhaps Sarah Palin could have been forgiven for her ideas on immigration (and lack of knowledge) because she was governor of Alaska, not Arizona. But in the intervening months, she has done little but promote herself as a celebrity, known because her brief time on the national stage..

Magistrate Judge Louis Moore made the order Tuesday as part of the conditions of release for O'Keefe, 25.

Kathy Thompson the mayor is a liar and a fear monger. Why doesn't the mayor threaten to close his office and all the city offices to save the schools and care facilities?
Now what Kathy's LTE said was...."The mayor of Buckley informed us that if they close Rainier School, 1,000 jobs will be lost, 400 homes, and $2 million in revenue." This is probably quite true as I'm sure the City of Buckley knows their revenue base.
Just one slight problem Bioya....
The State controls Rainier School!!!

Docent wrote on 01/29/2010 07:16:07 AM: Olympian staff,I enjoy reading the letters section every day at work and commenting on them. I notice as the day progresses that the tone of the comments gets off track, personal, and vitriolic. I'll admit as I read some of the off topic comments my blood boils and I respond in kind! I am embarassed. I ask that you banish the repeat offenders: videlicet, "larry", cedar, et. al.. Until then for my own inner peace, I will not read this section.Thank you for this consideration!
You have to love the dramatic effects. Who in hell is "videlicet"????? Never seen that name before.
I love how Docent had to make the plea part of public forum and can't find Tammy McGee or Lui Long's email addresses. I'd provide them, but that would just take the fun away of Docent having to learn how to use the computer for something other than porn and whining.

You know Cedar and I were the ones hiding all the progressive based comments.
