Wouldn't put too much stock in the McDonald's/Hospital complaint. It was lodged by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which is just the medical propaganda wing of the terrorist-supporting group PETA.

They just attack industries that use meat, they care nothing about people.

If churches are going to participate in the political process, then they need to be taxed just like everyone else.

Not only is the Seattle Times anti-bike, they are also anti-math:

"The project's most novel feature is a 10-foot wide, two-way bike lane on Broadway... [T]he bikeway is two feet wider than a pair of less safe 5-foot bike lanes..."

Apparently 2x5+2=10.

I especially like this part of the Times article:
Another challenge, many years away, is a mixed-use redevelopment of Yesler Terrace, bringing eight-story buildings and up to 4,500 parking spaces, and related traffic, into an area already near saturation.


And who's defining "saturation," here? People in Bellevue? The reporter himself? /facepalm

wouldn't a war on cars mean more exploding cars on the roads? I mean IT'S WAR!!!!!

Bring political petitions into churches and get protesters outside on Sundays. That's what I say.

I want the names of the chair-throwing senators so that I can stop voting children into my local government.

What happens when the ambulances have to race up to the hospitals? Do they have a special "medic" car on the trolley?

First, I read the article. Its pretty balanced unless you're the SLOG which happened a year or so ago to DECLARE WAR on bike accidents. I can't stand the Times but really, SLOG is becoming the most polemic bunch of self-rightous Limbaugh-esque assholes sometimes. I bike all the time but I don't expect soccer moms with 3 kids in the minivan to not think a bike lane slows them down. It probably does. I would think they aren't going to be for bike lanes until there's a dedicated bike lane from their house to the kid's school. Work that middle ground, something constructive or go back to your unceasing relentless mockery of national politics. I used to love the slog too.

@6: I don't know, although the annual "War on Christmas" features no exploding trees or nativity scenes, and the current "War on Women" has been quite devoid of exploding women, or even just exploding ovaries or uteri (uteruses?).

Maybe I just watch the wrong news though.

Wars also used to have traveling USO shows too. Haven't seen any of those for these new wars. Or are they passe now that Bob Hope is dead?

Please wait...
