THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans. Today it brings me great pleasure– wait, no, I meant it doesn't NOT bring me great pleasure to inform you that our nation has yet another reason to be a-scared – and I mean massively freaked out, like double-fudge-pudding-oozing-into-your-Dockers-TERRIFIED.

This leafy green killer never sleeps, seducing its prey into a false sense of security with promises of Vitamin A and Niacin, waiting to strike. As your fearless leader, it is my responsibility to set the tone of our nation's response to this new and sure-to-be-permanent danger. Which is why I want to reassure America's children, in particular, to... LOOK OUT! SPINACH IS COMING TO DROWN YOU, YOUR FAMILY, PETS, FRIENDS, AND ANYONE OR ANYTHING YOU'VE EVER LOVED IN A BOILING LAKE OF DIARRHEA! EVERYBODY PANIC YOURSELVES RETARDED!

Think this SR 99 dust-up's got lowball estimates, no realistic information about how much your taxes will increase, scared politicians, and likely voter confusion? Just wait'll you get a facefull of the package Sound Transit and RTID will start flaunting in a couple of months . . ..

658 years ago today, Jews accused of poisoning the wells.

Josh, I don't understand. Could you espouse (you do it so well) on what you mean? Thanks.

Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state, helped arrange $11.6 million in federal earmarks in the past year for projects benefiting clients of a lobbyist who is advising her re-election campaign and still owes her between $15,000 and $50,000 from a personal loan. Both senators say they sought the funding because it benefited their states." - John Fund, Wall Street Journal, September 18, 2006

It couldn't be for the same reason that he wanted to put the monorail before the voters, could it?

On another subject, I'm concerned that Hugo Chavez's comments will help Bush's approval ratings. Sort of like I can pick on my family all I want, but when an outsider does it, I suddenly get defensive.

Pls recall that Clintonistas & the excremental UN are the fine folks who let c. 1,000,000 Rawandans (aka Black People) kill each other while Clinton rushed to war in the Balkans in response to Tony Lewis's exaggerated reports of a few thousand white people killing each other.

I was linking the last two items: "Ahmadinejad hates the Jews" & "With Good Reason, Obviously."

The point being, Ahmadinejad has every right to hate the Jews because the Jews poisoned the wells!

I lost what last respect I had for Bubba when I read that he advised John Kerry to come out strongly in favor or a Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage in a futile attempt to boost his poll numbers in the final days of the 2004 campaign. John Kerry, to his eternal credit, refused to do so as a matter of honor.

Clinton is a pure sociopath without any real values.

Somedays reading Slog I feel like America is becomming as anti-semitic as Iran. Constantly reminding readers about The Holocaust and anti-semitism is the only way to preven us from being oppressed again.

Try to keep up, Will. I obviously meant "sign me up for the recall petition if the tunnel goes through". I've been arguing against a tunnel longer than anyone here.
