"Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Killin' the Poor" The New York Times on yesterday's Health Act hearings:
If the indications from Tuesdayâs arguments are correct, though, the ruling may undo parts or all of the overhaul of the health insurance system, deal Mr. Obama a political blow in the midst of the presidential election season, and revise the constitutional relationship between the federal government and the states.
It's All Over But the Killing: Continued violence strengthens critics' accusations that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is just buying time while shooting the shit with Kofi Annan.
Action Adaptation Starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta to Follow: Face transplant for Virginia man lauded as most extensive in history.
What are They Doing to Our Soldiers After They Become Soldiers? Olympia Army sergeant has been given a 10-year sentence for setting his wife's legs on fire with lighter fluid and a match.
"A Sh*t River Runs Through It": Is the title of the last episode of Trailer Park Boys, which I just watched last night. The Canadian series is actually a lot smarter than I thought it would be. BUTT! Just when you think Canadians can do something right, they go and dump a bunch of shit into the Columbia River. (This after a similar accident last week in Wenatchee.)
It's Like a Lost Episode of Trailer Park Boys, only in Puyallup: "Sheriff's deputies are searching for a person who stole a car with a 14-month-old child in the backseat before quickly abandoning the vehicle on Tuesday morning."
In Name Only (plus $1): A federal judge has ordered the City of Seattle to pay $1 to would-be strip-club owner who could not prove he suffered $1.6 million dollars in losses due to delayed permit. The nominal award allows the businessman to ask the judge to award attorney fees. The city will oppose paying the fees. Everybody, including all of us taxpayers, loses.
House Prices Still Weak in Seattle: If you still can't afford a place here, you could always move to Kent, amirite?
Dear Internet Creepers: Ground Control to all sad sacks furiously masturbating to Megan Fox. Hopefully you're into "preggies."
Mariners Beat Oakland A's in Season Opener: "Both the Mariners and Oakland Athletics have gained a well-deserved reputation for being offensively inept."
And Lastly: Mitt Romney's Got Jokes! It seems wise of the Romney campaign to put Mitt "Gaff Riot" Romney on with the least funny late-night show host available. Wouldn't want to make him look un-funny. The best quote, when Leno asks what he thinks about some Santorum doublespeak: "Well, you're on all the time, when you're running for office. Everything you say is being followed by a little camera of some kind or something; you don't always get every word just right." Rim shot!
