My first question is: "Are Seattle City Council Aides" really encyclopedia-material?

My second question is: "Anyone got a picture of Lisa Herbold?"

City of seattle IP addresses would actually be 156.74.0.1 through 156.74.255.254. since .0.0 is their net ID and 255.255 is their broadcast.
I'm just saying.

Wikipedia reminds me of that old joke about the encyclopedias in the Soviet Union with the loose leaf pages.

You can get lost in Wikipedia history pages. There are some delightful kooks out there. The UK is full of cranky old guys who refuse to accept the 1974 reorganization of the counties, or in the most extreme cases the existence of the UK at all.

Ah, Internet graffiti. I'm a little puzzled why Erica focused on the folks who removed the various slurs about their bosses--that seems to me work that would properly be done on the clock.

"Are Seattle City Council Aides" really encyclopedia-material?

YES. Imagine one hundreds of years in the future from now: Some kid can do his 8th grade report on the social impact hot City Council Aides of the 21st century.

Lisa Herbold, legislative assistant to Nick Licata
lisa.herbold@seattle.gov
A New York State native, Lisa has lived in Seattle for the last nine years. Lisa began her career as a community organizer working for Syracuse United Neighbors (SUN), a grassroots organization struggling for equal distribution of city services in low-income neighborhoods. Lisa moved to Seattle to help open a new ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) office. Before running Councilmember Licata's 1997 campaign for City Council, she worked as a tenant organizer for the Tenants Union. Lisa sits on the Boards of the Tenants Union and Neighborhood House.

Lisa's sixteen year old daughter, Megan, attends tenth grade at Roosevelt High School and loves baseball (she's an ace first baseperson!) and playing the saxophone.

uh oh...that's not been updated in FIVE years! And I'm a grandmother now...so now you know just how ridiculous some people are.

LH: Thanks! Some times you just gotta be ridiculous to mix it up! i'd vote for you.

One question tho: Do you think that you can judge PART of a politician's charecter by their body size? For example lets say they are disgustingly fat, they just plainly dont take care of them selves. (let say its not a glandular probem)

IDEA:

Can someone look up the IP address of this LH, to find out if it is really Lisa Herbold?

"As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the originial message and any note that he himself had made, and dropped them in the memory hole to be devoured by the flames."

"firstbaseperson"? What the fuck is that?

If David Della had a Wikipedia page, it would be deleted since the subject isn't noteworthy. After seeing him at the Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce today, I'd rather vote for Charlie Chong's corpse.

Has anyone else tried to post a comment on David Della's blog?

http://daviddellaseattle.com/wordpress/

A couple of weeks ago I tried to ask him about his acceptance of campaign contributions from the president and a director at Money Tree, but my comment is still "awaiting moderation."

In fact, his blog does not contain a single comment from anyone.
