May 17 Mr John commented on Browse the Medicare Hospital Charges and Payment Data.

Nice work.

Apr 23 Mr John commented on How Many of Your Children Have to Die Before You Stop Believing in Faith Healing?.

It seems faith healing is just an everyday dose of confirmation bias, fortified with the easy out of "It wasn't God's plan." when things don't work out.

Apr 3 Mr John commented on What Do You Think About President Obama Returning Five Percent of His Salary?.

It just makes me think how most of our law makers are independently wealthy and don't need their salaries anyway.

In 2011, Obama made about $800,000, $400K in salary, and $400K in other income. Giving $16K back is a nice gesture.

Mar 27 Mr John commented on Chris Hansen Buys Sacramento Kings (Well... 7 Percent of Them).

He just lowered his cost basis. He should be thrilled!

Mar 27 Mr John commented on You Know You Don't Have to Pay to Get into Seattle Art Museum or the Henry Art Gallery, Right?.

I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I remembered Frizzelle wrote about this a while back.

Clearly my brain is has its priorities wrong.

Mar 15 Mr John commented on Lunchtime Quickie: And Now, A Report From FOX News Connec-TIT-cut.

This is just terrible local news B-roll. The video is from the archives and probably some intern just typed "woman" into a database and this is what footage they had.

Also, why watching local news is just a giant waste of your time.

Mar 6 Mr John commented on SL Letter of the Day: The Big Finish.

I wonder how tired Dan is of reading a whole paragraph about how amazing everyone's sex life is right before they tell him all the problems with it?

Mar 4 Mr John commented on The White House Agrees That Unlocking Cell Phones Should Be Legal.

The White House said they agree unlocking should be legal, but we'll need to wait for Congress to fix the problem.

Thanks for the help guys!

Feb 8 Mr John commented on Vote No on Seattle School Levy 2.

Great article. I read and considered the arguments presented, and was persuaded that I should vote yes on school levy 1 and 2, because we all need to band together to provide the funds needed to properly educate our kids! Thank you Carole and Polly!

Feb 6 Mr John commented on Postal Service to Stop Delivering on Saturdays.

You say the USPS can't do this without Congress's approval, but then say that the real problem is congressional mismanagement. Maybe the USPS should start exercising some autonomy from Congress for once?
