in the past few hours TheRain commented on Breaking News: Pretty Woman Does Something Besides Look Good!.
You look at Reel Grrls and think, "Who really gives a fuck? The issue's a snoozer."
Apr 29 TheRain commented on NBA Committee Rejects Hansen Bid to Purchase Sacramento Kings.
Seattle isn't going to get an expansion team. Seattle isn't going to get a team relocated here. Seattle is going to be the boogeyman that is used by the NBA to scare other cities into coughing up millions of dollars to make their rich owners even richer, and until we firmly and clearly tell the NBA to FOAD we will continue to be used, period.
Apr 23 TheRain commented on US Senate Approves Cloture on Internet Sales Tax, $1 Billion in WA State Revenue at Stake.
"Who knows the reaction a good bill would receive? "

Most everyone. There will never, ever be an income tax in Washington State.
Apr 19 TheRain commented on "In the game of patriarchy, women are not the opposing team. They are the ball.".
"Folks, if you think @2 or @11 are actually likely to (a) engage in good-faith discussion, or for that matter (b) actually respond at all and not just drive-by troll, then you probably haven't been in many of these discussions before."

There's never any discussion, because there's only one allowed viewpoint.
Apr 19 TheRain commented on How Safeco Field Can Improve Attendance.
It pleases me that there's a wikipedia article titled "Ten Cent Beer Night".
Apr 18 TheRain commented on "Stay Strong, Support the Boys!".
@10: "In Canada and the US,. the lives of women have no meaning."

And we have a late leader for the "Dumbest Slog Comment of the Day!" award.
Apr 9 TheRain commented on State Sues Florist Who Refused Service to a Gay Wedding.
@18 FTW, and good on Bob Ferguson for sticking his neck out there to do the right thing.

Bob 2020!
Mar 27 TheRain commented on London's Daytime Population.
"the City of London, which has 11,700 residents"

wat?
Mar 20 TheRain commented on Will Jay Leno Destroy Jimmy Fallon the Way He Destroyed Conan O'Brien?.
"I haven't watched Leno in years. But I don't regularly watch any of the others either—even those I like. I just occasionally watch clips of Stewart or Colbert or others online. The very idea of regularly watching any late-night comedian is completely anachronistic, and hasn't been relevant for 20 years. I don't know why any of them are still on the air. "

They're still on the air because they still get ratings, and as much as people hate to admit it Jay Leno is still the #1 rated late night show in America. This is fact, and not open to debate.
Mar 20 TheRain commented on Rob McKenna Subtracts from Budget Debate by Adding to It.
McKenna was also fighting with FUSE on twitter last night over college costs, which didn't make an awful lot of sense.
