Thanks to reader Chris Thompson of Utah for this one.

Another Vietnam?

For any of you who lived through and/or studied the Vietnam War, this type of war assessment might sound very familiar. Lets hope we pull out this time instead of subjecting the country to another 5-10 years of American deaths.

Public Opinion Pole on Sonics and Alaskan Way Viaduct

"Voters were divided on numerous transportation questions, but more than half agreed that the Puget Sound region is losing ground when it comes to dealing with transportation problems.

They named the decaying Alaskan Way Viaduct as the highest priority. Thirty-two percent of respondents preferred that it be replaced with a tunnel, 28 percent chose repairs and 21 percent sided with replacing it altogether. Only 12 percent simply want it torn down."

Go Tunnel Go!!!

Ann Coulter is insane!!!

Go Dinosaur Man!

Anyone else watch all the M's game? Everett just homered at 11:04 and now it's time for bed. I wish we could play KC and Minnesota every game.

(If you didn't know, Everett doesn't think Dinosaurs ever existed).

Another Foul Ball

I caught this one last night at the KC Royals v. Seattle Mariners last night at Safeco Field.
E. Brown hit a pop up that must have went 2oo feet in the air and when it came down I caught it with two hands, just like I was taught.
The drunk guys to my right (see pic) went absolutely crazy and the buzz in the crowd was electric. The couple in front of me asked if I could pinch hit too.

Poll numbers down? Time to bash gays!

Same old story from the Republican party here. Get the churches all riled up about issues that are very low on the list of national priorities righ now.
Shouldn't the President be a bit more concerned about his soldiers killing innocent woman and children in Iraq right now? Shouldn't he be a bit more concerned about this countries nine TRILLION dollar (and rising) debt? Keep in mind the budget was balanced six years ago.
Shouldn't the president be a bit more concerned with inflation and rising fuel costs that affect the middle and lower class so much more than the rich Republicans?
You'd think so, but instead it is time to focus on the gays again.
