    Minirant: Seattle Rain

    Seattle is known for a few things. The Space Needle, Grunge music, and rain. So why is it that this city is incapable of creating a decent drainage system? I mean seriously.

    Minirant: This is Why WA Will Never be a Real State

    This is courtesy of The Seattle Times. I shall not edit this, as it is too good the way it is. “On the Secretary of State’s website, 75 ‘initiatives to the people’ have been filed since January. They range from serious to silly, the most outlandish being I-1069, which would require the Washington state seal ‘to depict a tapeworm attached to a taxpayer’s intestine, encircled by the words: Committed to sucking the life blood out of each and every taxpayer.‘ Another proposes to repeal all laws enacted in 2010.” On a side note, everyone please vote for the one that will end the Liquor Board’s tyrannical dictatorship and let booze…
