Tune in at 2:00…

Posted by on January 12 at 11:46 AM

When Josh and Erica will be live-slogging today’s council hearing, at which all 99 contenders for City Council Position #9 (formerly Jim Compton’s seat) will get their three minutes at the mic.

We’ll hear from folks like Dr. Ed Song, who, according to his cover letter, was once “full of social anxiety” but now “hear[s] the distant drums” and the “battle cry, ‘it’s time to cross another river and fight for our liberties without compromising our security from terrorists”; Guy Burneko, who “understand[s] by experience and by certificated training how to work noncercively for consensus and concurrence”; and Evan Sutton, whose “relevant experience” includes being “a fast and efficient bartender” and who has worked “in food service settings ranging from fine dining to hip-hop nightclubs.”

Stay tuned.

Erica is NOT making this stuff up.
Hopefully we'll get some clarification on Dr. Ed Song's "distant drums" at today's hearing!

As a safety precaution I recommend watching on the Seattle Channel. Prolonged traumas like a council confirmation hearing or College/Highschool require the systematic sedation provided by drinking games.
Once if they say "Neighborhood". Twice if they say they are "Serious".
Don't try this with hard stuff or you will pass out before they get to number 11.

Great idea Zander.
Filling up my flask as we speak.

I think Dr. Ed Song may have run for delegate (for Dean) to the Dem Nat'l Convention. Can anyone confirm?

[doing the math . . .]

Holy crap, that's about 5 hours of hearings, assuming exactly three minutes from one person to another, which I doubt will happen.

Why aren't you sending Cienna?

We've got Cienna on another local politics story. Check out the news section in two weeks!

This is really quite the service for your City. You should get hazardous duty pay.

I think that's right about Ed Song. He's active in the 43rd District Dems. And he was referring to ABBA, of course.
