He's right.

He really is right on point. Maybe he can start an alternative news source for Seattle? Just a thought.

Remember, the second you turn a profit, someone will think you're establishment.

Wow, if this guy actually made the school board, those of us without kids might start to give a shit...

The WASL must die.

Right, because calling your opponent "a whore" is a sure-fire way to get votes from all those mom's whose kids go to school...

At least you know where this guy would be coming from.... I'd rather see him on the school board than someone like Cheryl Chow who just kept running for various positions until she got elected to something.

@10 - but that's what David Blomstrom does, too! He's run a few times already.

And hey, what's with all the badmouthing of whores, David? What did whores ever do to you?

I would like to announce my candidacy to the school board, opposing David Blomstrom. I offer a 100% pro-whoring agenda, because the children are our future. When today's whores retire, who will we depend on to continue their legacy? That's right, the children. No matter what, there will always be whores, and I promise to see to it that those whores are well educated. Do your homework, you little whores!

He should run for Prez with Kevin Nealon filling out the ticket.

There's funny. Then there's asshole. Spend, as I have, a few seconds with this guy, instead of reading his rants from afar, and you'll regret you ever mentioned him.

Good point, Newbee. Crazy Richard Lee, the mini-video camera Cobain guy, is also only amusing from a distance.

Yes, there is a fine thread separating "coot", "curmudgeon", and "crazy bastard".

Why Jonah, you little news intern, after extending an invitation to The Stranger’s endorsement interview, you’ve started a second thread devoted to trashing me even before the interview. Are you trying to earn a Shithead of the Week award? Or do you just enjoy watching idiots posting under pseudonyms hurl lame insults at candidates while ignoring any and all issues?

For all you chatboard chipmunks who can’t handle the word WHORE, let me give you a clue...

From Merriam-Websters Online (mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore):

3. a venal or unscrupulous person

In politics, the word whore is commonly applied to corrupt corporate executives and their minions, including politicians and media personalities, as celebrated by the left-wing website www.mediawhoresonline.com.

It’s an extremely common term in politics, one that every Seattle liberal has heard of. So why do Seattleites do backwards somersaults when political candidates use the term?

It’s all about manipulation. Republicans keep their stooges in line by exploiting patriotism and religion. But that tactic doesn’t work too well with liberals. So the Seattle Mafia instead exploits “civility.” Did you know that candidates aren’t even allowed to mention their opponents in statements in the Voters Pamphlet?

So bizarre is this aberration that Seattleites vent more hatred on people who call corrupt public officials and corporate executives who screw the public than they do on people who try to hold them accountable. Over the years, I’ve investigated and reported on scandals that involved the loss or theft of millions of tax dollars, the exploitation of children, students raped by adults, teachers driven to suicide and on and on. But the public almost never expresses outrage at these actions. Instead, they vent their fury at me when I merely call the perpetrators “whores.”

But I’ve never backed down. On the contrary, I’ve become a fierce believer in accountability, without which true reform is impossible.

So if you want reform, vote for me. If, on the other hand, you love lies and back-stabbing, theft and embezzlement, rape (literal or figurative)—you know, business as usual—then support The Stranger and its pedophile friends.

P.S. "newbee" - You say you spent “a few seconds” with me. Funny, I don't recall that meeting.
