Conlin amounted at least 2/5ths socialism (fruit-trees for free society etc), so i'd make that (1/9) - ((2/5)/9) so, letsee, [abacus clack]... 6.6% more socialism (which, of course, presumes that Ms Sawant is 100.0% socialism incarnate)

Wait a minute...there's a Socialist on the City Council? Why didn't somebody say something?!?

@4 - There's a city council? I thought we used a king!

Where are the African-American women?

is sawant wearing jeans and hiking boots? is sally clark wearing a tan men's suit?

how... seattle.

When does Sawant start donating her salary "above the average worker's pay"? Is that paycheck by paycheck or will she start donating all of her pay in May - Dec?

“At a time of budget cuts, the Seattle City Council pays themselves nearly $120,000 a year, more than any other council in the U.S. except LA! If elected, I will only take the average worker’s wage and donate the rest to building social movements.” – Kshama Sawant.

wow so many folks starting to harp on sawant when they probably haven't even received their first paychecks...unless they get paid daily or something, i would assume that they receive their pay like most other city employees, twice-monthly...

Can posts by Goldy or about Kshama have unregistered turned off permanently? The hatred is disgusting.

@12 - My scrolling finger is going to wear out just from ignoring them.

@13 Does your mother know you're using the computer?
