      <![CDATA[Hhmmm, the editorial writers at the times cannot prevent themselves from saying nice things about McKenna, witness the column just yesterday by Sharon Pian Chan -"McKenna has done the math on Education."  Yet now we are to believe they are independent from the business side?  And please, am I the only one who feels it a bit patronizing of the times to also support Referendum 74?  You know, lets throw the lefties a bone..wink wink.  Even if the times is instrumental in getting that tea bagger pos McKenna elected I don't think it will save their pathetic paper from imminent extinction.  I for one won't miss it.

      <![CDATA[How is it the Seattle times and many many others don't understand that it's NOT a Yes/No on a referendum?  Are we as a nation so poorly educated (don't answer that).<br />
<br />

<br />
