      <![CDATA[I don't understand all the "hilarity" surrounding the drink of water. And I know it's tongue-in-cheek and meaningless, but I just don't understand what's even remotely noteworthy about becoming parched & cotton-mouthed during a period of prolonged speaking and seeking to alleviate that. I suppose he probably could have drank a bit more prior to the speech in anticipation and/or even positioned his bottle a bit more strategically, but I just don't see his failure to do so qualifying as comedy.

And yes, with all those money bags, Seattle could fund a lot more of its own infrastructure instead of begging the feds...
