Slog - Comments on The Morning News http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/07/the_morning_news_25 The Bush Administration: They were just kidding earlier this week about that following the Geneva Conventions thing. Israel: They were not just kidding about that going to war thing. Formerly hapless Democrats get a campaign message: "It's the minimum wage, stupid." Former Christian Coalition guy, Ralph Reed, gets sued. It was Jack Abramoff...stupid. In Massachusetts, Republicans want voters to decide on gay marriage. Democrats and gay marriage advocates don't. The U.S., Japan, France, and Britain want to threaten N. Korea with sanctions and military consequences. China and Russia don't. And If You Want Local News: Read this amazing story by... Copyright 2007 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 05:58:17 -0800 Thu, 13 Jul 2006 18:17:14 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by cressona And even though this is in the NYT, and it’s about new revelations of problems with the tunnel in Boston, it feels like a local story.

Damn right, Josh.

Y'know, it also felt like a local story when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. I mean, look at all those Japanese immigrants living among the real Americans in Seattle at the time. People with Japanese genes = bad. Just like tunnels = bad. Fortunately, FDR had the good sense to round 'em all up and put them in the internment camps. Better to err on the side of caution.

Also, to err on the side of caution, I believe that WashDOT should immediately close the I-90 tunnels pending an investigation, and Sound Transit should discontinue all tunneling currently underway.

Maybe we need a state wide law prohibiting anyone who has perjured themselves or falsified a police report from wearing a badge.

Mass gay marriage: required
Boston tunnel: not required

I don't know what gives with the NYT. None of them were Times Select, and I tested them all, and they worked on my computer, but yeah, the NYT links are increasingly unreliable. Any other ones not working for you? They still work on my computer.

I think people forget that the very idea behind it was that a person could support a family of four on it -now a person can barely support themselves.


Seriously though -is it great big retard day in the world today? Because I have had my fill -thank you Israel.

It's the biggest military action in Lebanon in twenty years, and many hope that after mopping up in Lebanon Israel will attack Syria. It's going to make Israel safer. Israel is taking care of Lebanon and Syria so the United States can focus on Iraq, that's good news.

Overlooked that link. The Stranger is the only pro-Israel news in Seattle, many people appreciate that.

Noone cares about the latest stupid Isreali-Palestinian fight over whatever. I mean, that's so 20th century.

We care about the Big Dig, or as we call it here, Greg's Underwater Tunnel Of Doom and Global Warming Taxes Up the Ying-yang.
