I like Ben Bernanke's name. It's fun to say over and over again.

Also, 1:25am is a little early for the morning news, isn't it? My hangover hasn't even hit yet.

Biggest news of day:

US may finally get a real/ quality lefty daily newspaper. Yahoo!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1791294,00.html

Today's biggest news is that it's the National Day of Slayer.

A Roman priest asks God to save his dying mother; God, apparently, says no.

Well, you can't say God didn't answer his prayers.

FYI: The thinkprogress gay marriage poll link isn't working.

Yes, apparently the PI and Times are sharing more than printing, circulation, and business infrastructure, but the basic news as well. The only thing interesting is how their editorial sections differ. I love that weekly alternating of who takes first page in the Sunday editorial section.

It's time to dissolve their JOA and let these bickering old ladies out of the parlor they've been squabbling in for the past, what, 20 years now? I don’t want to see the PI go, I’ve been a subscriber for over 25 years, but here’s what should happen:

Hearst should build their own printing plant, do their own circulation, advertising, etc., and stop piggy backing on the Seattle Times. They say can’t survive without the JOA. I don’t agree. They haven’t tried and they have the capital and assets to at least give it a shot.

WF: Thanks for that link. I would much rather get a Guardian UK style paper at my door (or on the web for that matter) than the dumb old chicken-hearted NYT.

Agreed about the PI and Times. Who knows? That being said, both papers could go away and I probably wouldn't notice... its a sad day when the only reason I might buy a local Sunday paper is to spend 6 minutes looking at the Op-Ed and maybe a couple of minutes to see if there is anything interesting to buy at Macy's. We're down to a handful of readable papers in this country (and maybe the same on the other hand worldwide)

The Times and PI are still the best place to go for local news. I don't always agree with how they cover it, but they cover it better than TV, and have more resources than The Stranger or Weekly (two nice watchdogs of the "bickering old ladies").

Re: Think progress link
Try this:

(I think someone left off a quote in the HTML somewhere)

link is fixed!

People, the story came from the AP. Lots of newspapers (practically all of them, in fact) run AP stories.

No, what's really sad is that both major papers in the state's major city had to leech off a national syndicate to get a story on a hot state government issue. What, neither paper has a single writer in Oly?

It's George Bush's Birthday!

Hooray!

6/6/6

George H.W. Bush was born on June 12th 1924, George W. Bush was born on July 6, 1946.

My birtday is also June 12th. Since Bush 41 and I share the same birtdays, I wrote to the George Bush museum in Houston to see I could get a "Happy Birthday to us!" autographed photo of the former president. Didn't get that but I did get a lovely note from George and Barbara wishing me a very happy birthday.

I know some of you want to vomit now, but I thought it was sweet.

All The Morning News That ECB Thought Wasn't Fit To Print:

Ed Murray, Whore: You didn't see it in The Stranger ... www.seattleweekly.com/news/0622/murray-port.php

Junket Jim McDermott, Whore: It wasn't Trottin' Tom DeLay, but it is in the P(ravda)-I(svestiia) ... (Go, as they say, figure) ... seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/272886_mcdermott06.html

World War IV: CBS has it. Why don't you? ... (And you're worried about someone looking at your phone bill?) ...

The first of the domestic incidents, all of which drew little attention at the time, began with the holdup of a string of Torrance, Calif. gas stations last summer. Muslim converts who bonded together in prison planned to use the robberies to finance attacks on 20 Army recruiting stations.

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton admits they stumbled on the plot during a search.

"Make no mistake about it," Bratton said. "We dodged a bullet here — perhaps many bullets."

Police in Toledo, Ohio, busted another cell in February. This one consisted of three men training to attack U.S. forces overseas. Once again, luck played a role. When they tried to enlist someone in their mosque to help, he turned them in.

"These individuals are often hiding in plain sight in cities like Torrance and now Toledo," says John Pistole, a FBI deputy director.

Two months ago, a pair of Atlanta men, one a Georgia Tech engineering student, were arrested not long after communicating by e-mail with two of the suspects arrested in Canada over the weekend. The Atlanta men are charged with videotaping domestic targets, including the U.S. Capitol and the World Bank.

Analysts now conclude similarities between all the cases were dramatic: All were self-financed, self-motivated, and in each case the men were seeking out others to join their cell.

In short, Osama bin Laden didn't pay for these plots, recruit for them or even know of them. They were all totally homegrown — even amateurish. But if four, including the one in Canada, have been uncovered in just 11 months, officials fear there are inevitably other plots that have not been and are maturing even now.
==============================
And you pharmophobes are worried that someone might be so pro-choice that they might choose to not sell you a dangerous drug? Thereby causing you the inconvenience of walking across the street? We're at war, ya dopes. Get sober & get a clue. (And what's with Gregoire sliding on the 'Santorium' slippery slope ... 'if a druggist won't sell you one bad drug, what's to stop them from refusing service to Mexicans.'
She should be ashamed of herself. You should be ashamed of her, too.)

that's his Official Birthday.

I meant his Real Birthday.
