That's the most appropriate cheese picture you could find? WTF?

Two women johns were arrested? What's their story?

(Should they be called janes? No. I think they're johns too.)

I hope the airlines call bullshit on this ID nonsense. Can't wait to see the queues and thousands of irate people at Sea-Tac dealing with the delightful and always-intelligent and courteous TSA "people". The Guiliani Saudi cheer team in 2001 all had legitimate visas and IDs. This is NOT about safety, it is about total fascism.

Papers, please!

@3, I don't know the exact number, but only a handful of states will have REAL IDs by May. It's gonna be fear and loathing at EVERY airport in the entire fucking country. Should be interesting - I may have to head out to the airport that day just for shits and giggles.

In the "poker" ? I think that's what happens after you're in the "pokey"...

@5) I'm sure there's a good jail-and-Mini-Baccarat pun out there, but I couldn't find it after rolling out of bed. "Poker" had to suffice.

Fuck the Real ID. Get a passport. Seriously. It may involve some expense and there is currently a long wait but it's worth it. You'll soon need it anyway for that trip to Mexico or that weekend in Vancouver. I'm proud that Washington and a few other states are resisting the Bush assholes and maybe President Obama will repeal this nonsense 13 months from now, but in the meantime get a fucking passport.

more cheese? i see this as a european cultural invasion. screw you guys and your streetcar ima go drive around and eat doritos and possibly go buy a gun in protest.

Get your papers in order,
coming soon - no groceries, gasoline, no commerce without 'proper id'.
So much easier to 'get a handle on' drug sellers, and illegals, and political misfits.

In the meantime folks,
let's look at some more tits & dicks!

I thought passports were already required for Canada? At any rate, it's stupid for anyone NOT to have a passport in Washington. The wait is hella long already and it won't get any better, so my recommendation is to apply now and keep it current, just in case. It's like keeping your driver's license in order, just in case you need to drive someplace. Especially here on the coast, so close to Canada, it makes a lot of sense to keep your passport handy.

Katelyn, you may be correct about Canada. I know they changed the deadline date at some point but I wasn't paying much attention since I already have a valid passport and use it whenever I go up there. But you're absolutely right. Get a passport and keep it current.

How can Clinton still have a 13 point lead in national polling, given the hard hitting investigative reporting and devastating political analysis being written about her by Reality Check, Original Andrew, Mike of Renton, and Obamatron?

It's as if the voters aren't even reading the SLOG. What the hell are they thinking?!?

Currently you need a passport to return to the US by AIR. Soon you will need it for car border crossings as well. but I don't know the exact date.

Interesting that no one called the cops on the SWIM team. I wonder what type of kids are on the swim team and what influence their parents have.

one of the few times that i click on a link to an outside story . . . .

after reading the judges report:
-i'm worried that the lowest rated judge was a JUVENILE judge
-the results also smacked of sexism, with female judges getting lower ratings than male judges, so maybe i should reverse my first opinion there; i guess i also need to keep in mind that it's LAWYERS doing the ratings, maybe the lower-rated judges gave a verdict conflicting with what one of the sides was trying for in the way of decisions. also, maybe female judges are tougher on crime?
