Posted by on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 5:06 PM

Biking and political campaigns!

From last year's failed roads and transit campaign to today's waterproof panniers


From a fellow Seattleite, directions for making your own panniers, fenders, and bike basket from corrugated plastic political signs. (Via Apartment Therapy.)

Bikeworks runs a couple of workshops this time of year to make fenders, etc. out of lawn signs. Tons of fun and a great place to support (they are free but you can always put a few bucks in the can).

Errr....so I typed something in the box, hit preview, then edited and erased that and wrote in a completely different comment, then hit submit...but what was posted was the original comment. Weird.

Anyway...What I really want to see implemented is this:

Here is one of the most insightful political opinion pieces I've read recently:

http://www.pnwlocalnews.com/south_king/

"I have always been a risk taker. So I called back my friend and agreed that I would work on the campaign. During the course of the campaign, Doug Jewett was called a racist and anti-black. As usual, I was called Uncle Tom, etc. Fill in the blanks.

I was shocked at first because I had been a loyal Democrat all my life. But since I decided to work for a Republican, and I was black, I was immediately told that I hated my mother and didn�t like black people. I was also threatened, which shocked me. I began to wonder, why all the hatred?"

PS: #7 -- Please stop impersonating me, it's really rude.

Does the background of this comment page appear magenta (but only at the top half??) to anyone else? Whose genius idea was this, anyway?

That was me. Now I'm going to try to cover up the next commenter with a kitten.
