The Health Care Summit: awfully late in the day

Posted Fri, Feb 26, 5:32 p.m.

Like I said, your compassion is not compassion. It's a crutch you use as a club.

The Health Care Summit: awfully late in the day

Posted Fri, Feb 26, 5:13 p.m.

Vince, I gotta say "I'm just no feelin' ya flava, dude." The argument for compassion is trotted out so often and for so much and so insistently that people often mistake it for the moral high ground. It's not. It's a tired and shredded trophe of the pseudo-intellectual classes that ...

The Health Care Summit: awfully late in the day

Posted Fri, Feb 26, 3:56 p.m.

I don't think I'm alone when I sense with every passing day that the gigantic gâteau de merde cooked up by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid is being moved outside by the American people. Moved outside into a torrential storm that looks to wash it all away. That's the good news. ...

Is it okay for us to rejoin the nation?

Posted Thu, Feb 12, 10:36 a.m.

I don't. I really hope Seattle crashes and burns and that all these greeniacs wake up in the rubble thinking, "I can't believe I forget to stock up on guns, canned goods, and ammo."

A green slate for Seattle City Council?

Posted Thu, Feb 12, 9:05 a.m.

I certainly hope this man is elected and that Seattle succeeds from King country and Washington state as quickly as possible. It would bring the day of utter bankruptcy of the city that much closer so that many more citizens could enjoy the joys of homelessness in the green, green ...

Why so many stumbles for Obama?

Posted Thu, Feb 12, 9:03 a.m.

The slobbering over Obama will not cease in the press. What we see is the bustle of various journalists trying to get a little more towards the endless line of people willing to personally fellate the President.

"Now there’s hope that in the next decade we’ll move ahead feeling a little saner, knowing that we share a common reality with the majority of America. " Nope. The majority of Americans are neither as stupid nor as unkempt. When you start seeing multiple facial piercings in the suburbs ...

Not so fast folks. The re-elected Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) effect begins: WA faces revenue drop, deficit now $4.6B Only the beginning folks, only the beginning.

Letter from the Publisher

Posted Tue, Nov 18, 12:04 p.m.

"Crosscut is not yet profitable, but still in the growth phase, supported by investment capital as well as advertising." One can always read that as "supported by a few new-age angels whose patience is running out." In any case, non-profit in the Age of Obama is the smart move since ...

Circulation at both Seattle dailies is down

Posted Mon, Nov 3, 10:36 a.m.

The statement "And backing up a moronic argument by linking to a right wing whacko blogger does not count as proof of anything." is in itself no proof of anything, least of all what it asserts to prove.

Oat straw, to ease your election fears

And then either shoot yourself or run through the streets swinging an axe until all about you is reduced to steaming wet red chunks of protoplasm.

No, I will not miss them. I will consider that they have gotten what they richly deserve. The fact that web sites are doing well is not going to be enough to haul their charred chestnuts out of the fire. I'm sure Crosscut biz types can fill in the vast ...

Now you may say, in a town as overwhelmingly liberal as Seattle, "Screw those troglodyte, Republican morons!" Well, you can say that but then you will, sooner or later, fire 200 of your employees. And that will be only the start. Why? Because in an "overwhelmingly liberal town" you are ...

ACORN's bad seeds

Posted Sat, Oct 25, 10:53 a.m.

It's not the bits and pieces from here or there with Acorn. It's the ongoing pattern of duplicity state by state by state.

We'll see your McCain 375 billion and raise you Obama's 4.3 trillion. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122480790550265061.html?mod=googlenews_wsj BTW, you're a day late and more than a trillion short with the Palin joke.
