57 states — and the Soviet of Washington?
Sen. Barack Obama must be drinking some of the same Seattle water as secessionist Mayor Greg Nickels. In Beaverton, Ore., he told the crowd that he'd visited "57 states" with "one left to go." He goes on to say that the only states he hasn't been to during his presidential bid are Alaska and Hawaii, which means Obama thinks the U.S. has 58 states, though by his own count there should be 59.
Gregoire and Rossi, together again
For the first time in nearly four years, Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire and her Republican re-challenger, Dino Rossi, found themselves in the same room Friday night, May 9. The occasion was a retirement party at the Washington Supreme Court for veteran Associated Press reporter Dave Ammons, who has gone to work for Secretary of State Sam Reed.
As Barack Obama takes North Carolina and Clinton narrowly wins in Indiana, it's time not for celebration or a victory concession but a look ahead at months of stalemate.
Clinton's gas tax holiday is no vacation
Let’s see if primary voters buy Hillary Clinton’s line that respect equals pandering, that if you really feel people’s pain, you appeal to their ignorance. The recent to-do over Clinton’s — and McCain’s — proposal for a federal gas tax holiday marked a new low in this already-rock-bottom campaign. George Bush’s suggestion that high gas prices mean we should drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) was merely business as usual. Even before the end of Bush’s first term, it had become a kind of running joke: Ask this administration a question, any question, about domestic policy and if the answer isn’t "cut taxes," it’s "open ANWR." Never mind that ANWR oil wouldn’t be available until some time after 2015; Bush is just being Bush.

A Seattle software exec makes sure that the buffalo don't roam
In the 19th century, tourists used to slaughter bison herds from passing trains, blasting the big beasts into near extinction just for fun. That ugly tradition is echoed in the recent massacre of buffalo in Colorado, which has also touched off a classic confrontation over rights between two ranchers. The Northwest connection: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's John Cook points out that the man behind the recent massacre is the chairman and CEO of one of Seattle's top software companies, Jeff Hawn of Attachmate. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
