Comments on The Morning News

that the city is even considering subsidizing houses that would be affordable to people making 100 percent of the median income is a sign of moral bankruptcy.

WF, that doesn't make sense. The whole point of the article is that even at median income, people cannot afford median house price.

On Newty patooty. I bet Rush is going to spin this as that was o.k. because he was not president. That fat fucking liar and hipocrite. In fact both of them. After all this I don't care what Micheal Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter, Bill or any of the namby pandys conservatives around america think anymore.
Even if Obama was an ex gangster from the hood and smoked pot and banged 6 white girls while married. I would still vote for him. Fuck hypocrisy.
In 2008 I don't want to hear zilch from conservatives because they have all been "morally" corrupt as well.
And right now I am personally giving Newt Gingrich and all right wingers the middle finger. And piss off media for not getting this out on Gingrich back then in the 90s.

Hey DreadLion, watch what you say about the Moral Majority!

Just yesterday I saw a driver in an SUV talking into a cellphone while going thru an intersection ... clearly NOT looking at any of the other streets or to the sides to see if pregnant women happened to be pushing baby strollers into her path.

Driving while celled is WORSE, medically, than driving while Drunk AND Stoned.

Period.

what doesn't make sense is that we have thousands of people living on the streets, we've had massive net losses in rental housing the last few years to condo conversion, no new affordable rentals are being built without subsidy, and the city is thinking that it should build houses, not rental units, for middle class people so they don't have to commute so far. it's completely fucked priorities.

I hear what your saying Him. lol. but what got me so fumed was this passage.

Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity.

''The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge,'' the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. ''I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials.'

I was like AAAAAAGGGHHHH! Shit he just didn't. Lucky I wasn't holding a hot cup of coffee.

You should change the title to "Employment Down. Crime Up." The article makes it pretty clear that the unemployment rate went down because 190,000 or more people gave up looking for jobs. The new jobs created didn't even meet the threshold of keeping up with population growth.

@6 - best thing we can do - seriously - is build 100-story tall inexpensive residential apartment buildings near transit.

Just ask Vancouver.

Re: Seattle Times' stories

I remember "Your Courts, Their Secrets" - painfully boring.

I don't recall "License to Harm." If it was anywhere near the editorial or endorsements page, then it must have been in the fiction section.
