Eyman Victory in Olympia: Legislature reinstates one percent cap on property tax revenues.
Tens of Thousands Rally in Venezuela: Referendum to expand President Hugo Chavez’s power brings out dissenters.
Thousands Rally in Sudan: Angry Muslims call for “Muhammad Teddy Bear Teacher” to be executed. No matter where you stand on the “cultural sensitivity” question, I’m like: Sudanese Muslims have no credibility on anything. In addition to the genocide in Darfur (why aren’t thousands of Sudanese in the streets about that?) President Bashir and then-Islamic parliamentary leader Hassan al-Tarabi harbored bin Laden in the 90s.
Hungry: Foodbanks nationwide facing food shortage.
The Surge: Huckabee neck and neck with Romney in Iowa.

It Always Comes back to Susan Dey:
Nothing on the article in the PI about the developer for 500 Pine stating that they are "improving the neighborhood". Apprently, shutting the clubs down is an improvement.
How many years until Cap. Hill looks and feels like Downtown Bellevue? I give it 6 more years. Soon there will be a Restoration Hardware and Williams Sonoma....
It's too early in the morning for "Angry Muslims". What is wrong with humankind? Seriously? Can I secede?
I'm willing to consider the possibility that I'm misreading, but I think something's amiss with the wording of your Sudan news item... beginning with "...I'm like," coherent sentence flow seems lost, and unpaired paretheses reign supreme. In the end, I just walked away with the notion that you love parentheses, and hate Muslims.
Where the hell is "Venezuala"?
If Venezuela wasn't a country it would be a venereal disease. If I owned a hog I'd name him Mohammed, but I wouldn't take him to the Sudan.
Well, that much should be obvious, at least: Darfur protests pose a clear, direct threat to the current regime. Protesting a white foreign scapegoat is easy by comparison. It's the same thing that's gone on throughout the Middle East - governments have cracked down on liberal pro-democracy movements while right-wing Islamic groups enjoy free reign.
How long is China going to be allowed to prop up the regime in Khartoum?
Am I the only one who wants an mp3 of that Partridge Family song?
If there is a hell on Earth, it is Sudan.
Gosh, why do all those former military brass "hate America"?
It really all does come back to Susan Dey. ..
