I love this. It reminds me of Bill Murray playing Hunter S. Thompson in "Where the Buffalo Roam," when he says "Nixon" to his doberman (at 3:40). Whenever the wingnuts start calming down, all the President has to do is say "Benghazi" to have them growling and foaming at the mouth on command.

And Cienna, I find your smug dismissal of Councilmember Bagshaw's work on a re-entry coalition repulsive. What the fuck have you ever done for ex-cons?

@3: Comparison to race and gender is bullshit, as well as completely offensive. If you can't figure out the difference between immutable characteristics and criminal activity, then it's no wonder you've (obviously) never been put in a position of authority to hire anyone. Prospective employers aren't asking anyone to "pay their debt," They just see a criminal background as valid evidence of whether someone would do a good job, which usually entails following rules, not breaking laws. You might as well say that high school dropouts are at risk for homelessness, so employers shouldn't "discriminate" on the basis of education. This whole thing is frankly crazy. I expect overriding legislation from Olympia in 5, 4, 3 . . .

Sorry, but I'm not buying. How can anyone prove that a criminal record "will have a negative impact"? Who can predict the future? Refuse to hire a convicted embezzler and you get the HRC breathing down your neck because you can't prove what will happen in the future. I applaud the sentiment, but this legislation is straight out of la-la land. Lets have some reporting on how many ex-cons the Stranger has working late at night.

kk in seattle commented on Governor Inslee: I'm "Shocked," "Surprised," "Concerned," "Disappointed," and "Blindsided" by Republican Effort to Repeal Washington's Estate Tax.

@SROTU: I thought you got all hot and wet for a property tax. That's what an estate tax is. Guess you're just full of shit.

@Governor Inslee: "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24. Republicans serve mammon. Has that not been made clear to you?

Shame on the New York Times. And @2: You do realize that the House has no role in this, right? Right? (I just love how critics say the Obama administration should have done everything--health care, tax reform, stimulus, shut down Gitmo, immigration reform, gay rights, nominations--during the couple of months the Democrats had 60 votes in the Senate.)

This is so great, because now the city can spend $20,000 on lawyers instead of bike paths and affordable housing. AWESOME!

@124: Most uninformed post ever? In Europe, they generally don't drink tap water, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to fluoridate the dishwater. And if you're holding Japan up as a paragon of dental practice, you obviously have never set foot there. "What about the fact that 94.4% of the ENTIRE WORLD rejects fluoridation?" I gotta confess, I'm not gonna follow the lead of India, Pakistan, Egypt and Nigeria on this this one, thankyaverrymuch. As for the rest of you anti-fluoride nutters, if Spindles is the one who is most vigorously making your case, you might want to think it through again.
