Skip- you put you finger on what troubled me about the fire. I want to do what "I" want to do, fire like other readers wants me to do only the things that Amazon can sell me. Do I think that there is a price point below the iPad cos ...

Let's be clear- this is not an article, this is an opinion piece. And its author is confused, ignorant or deliberately twisting the truth. While I might agree that the legislature could require new accountability measures from WSDOT, the capital highway Nd bridge projects are in no way adding to ...

After reading this article one is to think two things: 1) the service Ferries provide--moving people and vehicles--could be done no other way less expensively and there fore there is only one choice, and 2) the San Jaun Islands are the only ones who are ferry dependent. I don't accept ...

I agree with Knute's undelaying premise here--government may be part of the problem in practice; but to say that it is always and will always be is idiotic--so the antithisis of that is...anarchy? you think there is regulatory uncertainty now. Democracy is for the people, by the people. its also ...

I could support a commission as long as it isn't intended to support the status quo or be a partisan policy smack down. Set it up to lay some truths bare AND recommed what to do. too often these bodies are ham-strug by their participant make-up or a circumscribed authority. ...

Baseball is a "radio sport" because of guys like Dave. I wasn't a baseball "fan" until I moved to seattle and began listening to games on the radio on weekends. I've stood in the isle of the hardware store staring at a tool for 20 minutes while Dave called an ...

Jordan raises some good questions--But I think we ought to go further--and encompass the Washington State Ferries as well and reset state and regional policy on the basic mission of ferries on Puget Sound. We spend hundreds of millions toting vehicles across the Sound--is that the best we can do? ...

Knute, too bad the message here gets lost in GlenBeck-isms. Our ancestors didn't do a bunch of beggeting that resulted in you and me through dumb luck. I don't think we can listen to aboriginal stories and use them as a literal how-too guide for life, be they coastal salish ...

I'm not sure what catowner is saying, but I understand Mr. Brewster. I would change the lexicon a bit and cast this not in terms of the partys, nor left or right. Mr. Brewster and other crosscut writers have touched on the situation recently. There is a grownig frustration that ...

I’m not a big fan of Ted VanDyk. As a opinion writer, I think he is talking head with nothing relevant to say, a gas bag—he is always looking backward and telling you about the good ole days. Most of the article I was ready to stop until I got ...

Mr. Locke, I could not agree more. I happen to be a liberal, but what I fear most for our politics and frankly our Country is the astoundingly harded conviction in the correctness of our view and the determination that no policy but one that is in complete harmony with ...

Lets spend another 30 years argueing over Bus or Rail: Reading articles like Dougs are thought provoking, its true. But aren't we past the point of just provoking thought? Don't we want to provoke a little action? Sure, there are good points there, but so what? At WSDOT Doug was ...
