Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:04:32 -0800 Comment by jonglix I believe he is standing in front of what he considers a non-ugly townhouse ( to provide some positive reinforcement.) They're on 14th and Olive St and I agree that they are pretty decent.

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:25:04 -0800 Comment by Levislade I don't think it qualifies as pwnage if you have to post it here and explain it to us - which you do, because no one who wasn't looking for that blurry blob in the top center window would have noticed it.

Either busy or banal alone could be forgiven, but both together is a no-go.

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:13:29 -0800 Comment by PopTart Wow that podium is something though, do they haul that to all his outdoor speeches? Is it really inlaid wood? Why have I not noticed it in other pictures of his speechifying before?

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:45:09 -0800 Comment by Will in Seattle @11 - I don't think it fits into the plug-in hybrid Prius that the city owns - my guess is that's why he wants that monster SUV - to put the podium in.

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:00:59 -0800 Comment by Mahtli69 @10 - I'm with you. That building is ass-ugly. And I know neutral colors are supposed to sell better and all, but primer gray?
