Ballard Pimp commented on Murray Raises $103,693 in Two Weeks as Race for Mayor Heats Up.

@5, I knew if 502 passed, you'd be stoned. Aside from all your factual statements being wrong, you do realize that Ed knows less about Seattle issues than I do, and I'm just a flesh peddler?

Ballard Pimp commented on Senator's Illness Gives Dems Chance to Seize Back Control of State Senate; Fate of Reproductive Parity and State Dream Acts Hangs in the Balance.

@16--I agree with your point about this being an opportunity for Murray. But I also want to point out that Ed has never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. And that could bite Ed badly this August.

Ballard Pimp commented on Hedge Fund Manager Hansen Hedges His Bets, Cuts Backup Deal to Move NBA Kings to Seattle.

@11--You need to get up to speed. This fight is because Stern is outraged that Seattle refused to open its checkbook for the unlimited cost of a stadium. It threatened the whole NBA extortion racket, and threatened to bring down Stern's whole party. He might have to get a job in a sheltered workshop. Stern will do everything he can to queer this deal because we did pass such a law, and Hanson came up with a deal that meets the requirements of the law.

@17--I think that many of us recall when Reagan described Osama ben-Laden as "the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers..."

Probably more villanous was Jeanne Kirkpatrick who wrote the lines for Reagan to read. I recall reading an essay she wrote about the differences betwee "authoritarian" murders and "totalitarian" muders. She approved of the former.

I don't know, dry dock. Putting together "stoner" and "fuckwit" just about exhausted Un's cerebral faculties for the week. He forgot the name of the paper.

Ballard Pimp commented on Headline of the Day, FREAK OUT Edition.

raindrop, Will is referring to the nominal top marginal corporate tax rate versus the rate actually paid--I think the latter is actually 7%, but Will is close enough for corporate work.

But the problem is: If the standard computer model is accurate, at 400 ppm CO2 becomes self-reinforcing because the perma-frost starts to melt, releasing methane.

Ken, they don't get it.

Folks, understand that "Ken Mehlman" is more than a screen name. What you are reading here is true irony. Google the name. Watch the Bertolucci film clip, and recall what some history teacher tried to implant in your retarded little heads: "1900" is a film about the rise of fascism in Italy. For a pack of people who talk so freaking much about irony, you don't know the real thing.
