The Morning News

Posted by on May 31 at 6:17 AM

Maybe I had too much whiskey @ Megan Seling’s birthday party. Or maybe sexy Thurston Moore was right, and my spirit does = (-time) / my body. But this morning’s headlines look just like yesterday morning’s headlines:

Bush nominates Goldman Sachs guy as Treasury secretary;

Supreme Court shrinks rights of whistleblowers;

and

U.S. increases troop count in Iraq.

I don’t know, maybe these are follow-up “analysis” pieces.

And TPM Josh Marshall’s latest post says exactly what I said about the Democrats two days ago.

Maybe it’s late, and I’m feeling stupid about working from home at 2am. Maybe I’m feeling dull about hanging out earlier tonight w my very pretty ex…

But really there’s not much new news at this point (2am) except this new news about Lady Di’s death in 1997.

I’ll say this: Later today, pick up the new edition of the Stranger. Erica C. Barnett breaks some real news about the City Council and the Viaduct.

And where the fuck is David Postman’s story about the state GOP’s unconstitutional new immigration plank? That story is just too good to sleep on his damn blog.

Oh, and apparently, the Cantwell campaign is going to have some big announcement today.

Josh I'm not sure if it was the late hour, that you were feeling stupid or because of the pretty ex, but you missed this story in Sunday's paper which covered the immigration plank, including Rob McKenna's comment that it was likely unconstitutional. In today's paper, though I think you have to shell out 50 cents because it's not on the web, is a summary of some of what I've been reporting on the blog about this, too.

Do any of you REALLY believe that Lady Diana's death was NOT an accident? I enjoy a good consipriacy theory, but this has always been a stretch for me.

You missed the protests against the war in Olympia!

Re: Diana's death -- I don't know or care if it was an accident, but I do know it was a good thing. Oooh, but she was a "Lady", and formerly a "Princess", how lovely for her. What is it about British aristocracy that makes Americans cream in their pants? They're nothing but a combo of scum parasites and completely bogus tourist attraction. They should ALL be killed.

Aww c'mon FNARF, what you suggest would be devastating to the sport of polo!
