Initiative 900 saves tax dollars
Initiative 900 saves tax dollars
April 6, 2009 8:33 pm

What’s the most overused word in government? My nominee is “investment.” In the real world an investment is when you spend money to make more money. In the political world, it’s simply what public officials say when they want to spend money without actually saying that they want to spend money.

My byline appears, accompanied by a photograph, with this essay. It’s also the name that’s on all my important papers and cards: birth certificate, driver’s license and Costco. But it’s not the name my family calls me. No, that would be “Mr. Rump Roast.”

March 30, 2009 8:54 pm

Last night’s carousing among local bars left me severely hung over this morning. I awoke feeling unrested, lethargic and so muddle-headed I couldn’t concentrate on any particular thought for more than 10 seconds.

Papers exist to record our lives
March 30, 2009 8:54 pm

Former journalist Richard Kluger said, “Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great one goes, such as the New York Herald Tribune, history itself is denied a devoted witness.” (Kluger worked as a journalist before becoming an accomplished Pulitzer Prize-winning author and book publisher.)

Former journalist Richard Kluger said, “Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great one goes, such as the New York Herald Tribune, history itself is denied a devoted witness.” (Kluger worked as a journalist before becoming an accomplished Pulitzer Prize-winning author and book publisher.) I have always viewed newspapers as a way to record historic events, whether on the world, national, state or local level.

March 30, 2009 7:32 pm

America faces the most severe economic crisis in generations. Washington state’s unemployment rate is more than 14 percent in some counties. Too many families are struggling to get by, and their stories are becoming far too common.

I saw an incident of “road rage” the other day. A driver was shaking his fist at a driver in another car. Not unusual in and of itself, except the driver that was being raged at was driving a hearse at the time – and leading a funeral procession.

Today’s automobiles just don’t measure up
March 23, 2009 11:48 pm

I’m currently driving a 2003 Pontiac. It’s a nice, little car, has reliably taken me wherever I’ve wanted to go and it still has a few good miles left. Nevertheless, wear has taken its toll and in a couple years I’ll have to think seriously about buying something else.
