Going Green: Obama promises to impose tougher emission restrictions on automakers.

Channel Change: Congress likely to delay DTV transition.

Drown Our Sorrows: Gov. Gregoire thinks booze can save our ailing economy.

Linebaker: Seahawk Leroy Hill busted for pot (which is dumb, but hopefully makes it easier to re-sign him).

Would it be possible to write a ballot measure to allow hard liquor from non state owned stores?

CNN reported 70,000 jobs lost yesterday. Whatever the number it is the sound of pain. We should stone Bush and Cheney on the Mall, then start on the CEO's.

Oh my God - the climate is changing! Always has. But despite all the hype, there really is no evidence that man-made global emissions are warming the Earth. In fact it's cooling. The hottest year in the last century was in the 1930's.

"Taylor said Hill had apparently fallen asleep behind the wheel at a major intersection."

Dumb dumb dumb!

But in the same story

"In April, defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, also due to be a free agent this offseason, was accused of hitting his girlfriend in the head at a Seattle nightclub. He pleaded not guilty and is under a court order for two years."

Why don't assaulters get the same punishments as stoners from the league/teams? Is is less bad to knock your lady around? I dunno...

re: climate change

The nice lady scientist is fretting about climate getting back to 'normal'.

NORMAL = CONSTANTLY CHANGING

Climate is not static.

It changed when humans were a just a gleam in some pond scum's eye and will change after we are gone and the cockroaches rule.

In the Middle Ages they had vineyards in England, for crying out loud.

Note to climate scientists- stfu. please.

They've been like snouts in the sausage around here lately. The problem is they aren't very bright, so it isn't very interesting.

@2, read the article. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, is your man. He's tried before, but he's trying again, and I for one am fully behind him. I don't care if they raise the tax, I just want liquor sold in private stores like in the civilized world. Then maybe I could sample some of the many fascinating liquors of the world that the WSLCB doesn't carry.

Hey guys, we're all pulling for the President.
However, if we are talking 'world of hurt' the topic must be 'impending storm of panty-twisting and shrieking from every disappointed left wing interest group that doesn't get what it thinks it deserves from a new Democratic president (and that will be all of them)'.
Warren was just a sample.
It happens every time a Dem gets elected.
This time should be better than most, however.
Obama ran pretty liberal.
Since he won, however, he has been impressively catering to the right and middle.
And after 8 years of Bush/Cheney the left is really salivating for goodies that will never materialize.
Personally I have my earplugs ready.
It will be quite a show, however.

You keep me coming back for more.
The sound of your rants does my heart good.
Sure Obama has done or said things I don't 100% agree with but...
What party and party dress are you talking about?
Maybe you just like the sound of your own voice or need to be acknowledged?

I've recently been watching Red Dwarf from the beginning on Netflix. It's been super rad. Apparently I had totally forgotten about/never watched season 7 and 8 so...brand new!

To the trolls, smeg off you gimboids.

I had the hots for Lister before I knew what "the hots" were. Seriously, I think he started my attraction to Bears, especially when he got a little fatter...

Everyone I know hates the last two seasons of Red Dwarf, and I doubt they'll like these new episodes either.
