Slog - Comments on Election Results in Contested Races http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/election_results_in_contested_races Here's the night's last election-result update. Election results are included for statewide offices, King County ballot measures, and districted offices that contain any part of King County. Incumbents are bolded where applicable; judicial candidates that received more than 50 percent won their races and will not go on to the general election. In all other races, the top two candidates move forward to November regardless of their party preference. P.S. There is no such thing as a Grand Old Party Party. P.P.S. I cannot stop laughing at the name "Boleslaw (John) Olinski" Initiative 26 and Council-Proposed Alternative Yes 65.09% No...

They're replacing Dan Abrams (who decided to give him a show anyway) and she will follow Countdown starting September 8th.

Probably the best move MSNBC has ever made.

And she won't. And thank God.

When Eli is done crying, seeing how he's obsessed with her, we can take her out back and select our pistol.

If Obama does not get in gear it is over

Surprisingly, he only delivers canned speeches well, and can't out debate Mc Cain

God, how did we end up here?

Oh, but there should be!

Picture the best club night ever: senators cruising the stalls, pundits stoned out of their minds, ridiculous amounts of caged ethnic hotties, hog barbecue, bartenders firing off gratuitous shots, interns and pardons for everyone!

It means something like "Great Renown" "Slaw" is a common ending for Polish names, meaning "famous" or "glory". Picture a guy named Charlemagne, if Charlemagne were a common boy's name.

If I was named Boleslaw, I'd go for a more interesting Anglo alternative...
