@8: Brand-new gun owner shot by her brand-new gun.
Do the goddamn details matter?
There are responsible gun owners, and there are fuckin' irresponsible gun owners. And there's a lot of overlap between the two.

Good luck with that, Knat. I'm still waiting to get a DeLorean but unfortunately they're retro-cool now and have held their value pretty well.

@11 You're wrong. Also, Tibet will be free any day now, as soon as we get just a few more bumper stickers out there.

Unbrainwashed, your anger is really getting the best of you. Perhaps if you hate the city and its government so much, you should move to some rural Beckian paradise. The teabaggers will welcome you with open arms.
At least until their tax-free building-code-less society crumbles comically.
Anyway, you're whining about an imagined $150 tax/year on a $10,000 car? So let me ask how you can afford your hypothetical $10,000 car but not a hundred-fifty clams once a year? I know, I know, it's 'all dem taxes all togebber, deys adds up!' is what's got your panties in a twist.
Here's a counterpoint for you, just because I'm rather feisty this morning.
When me and the Future Mrs. head out to work in the morning, we head past our five registered vehicles (three cars, two motorcycles, too many, I know) and we take the bus to work. She's paying about $70/month for her ORCA card, mine is courtesy of Obama's commie pinko socialist gub'mint.
We thus save on paying $80/month parking (me) and $150/month parking (her) that we would pay if we drove our cars.
Plus we save another $150 to $300/month on gas that we're not using.
Economically, we're coming out ahead by taking transit to work. Way ahead. I would not mind paying an added $150/year on car tabs (assuming the figure you pulled out of your ass up there is even correct. Others have doubted you already).
Here's the kicker, we don't live in the City. We don't even live in King County.
So shove it, spittle-sprayer. Perhaps your anger should be at the idiot tax system we have here in Washington. As The Stranger has pointed out, with no income tax, the other taxes to support necessary government functions are unevenly applied and ill-suited to the revenue needs.
So off to TeaBaggistan with you, since you seem to hate the city and its residents so much. G'bye!

Wow, "Unbrainwashed", you certainly are angry. Way to sell your side of the story, dude. I can almost see the spittle spraying from your mouth as you shriek your comments.
Oh- now would probably be a bad time to point out to you I hold an ORCA card that's fully paid for by a Federal grant. Yes... your tax dollars pay for my bus ride.

It can not be easy to swim with a martini in one's hand.
However, it sounds like a good challenge. One that will get me kicked out of the neighborhood pool, but it was for a good cause.

I never received an itemized bill, so all I know is the total cost for the whole shebang. ER + OR treatment + 4-day stay in ICU.
I am assuming the codes are for only the listed treatment, and any followup stay in the hospital is charged via a different and separate code. Or is it all bundled into the codes & costs listed? If the charge includes the required hospital stay, then Swedish charged my insurer two-and-a-half times the Medicare cost.
