BREAKING: Drew Carey Named 2011 Seafair Torchlight Parade Grand Marshal!!!!!
Comments are closed.
Finally, a reason to visit Seattle. Yep.
Christ, he’s going to be moving here next. He shows up at quite a few of the pre-match rallies in Occidental Park before Sounders games (he’s part-owner). The fans love him, except for that one time when he admitted that before buying into the Sounders he was a Galaxy season-ticket holder.
Sadly the Seafair parade has become a gang banger magnet. No thanks, I’ll stick to Lake Washington.
“Gang detectives are investigating a shooting at Second Avenue and Pike Street on Saturday night, two blocks from the Seafair Torchlight Parade”
“Police cracked down on gangs before Seafair parade”
SeaFair is a hot mess of annoyance.
I would have preferred Colin Mochrie.
Thank god it wasn’t our new UW President – the Times seems to be in love with him, and then we’d have to suffer thru a week of glowing articles about him.
Grats, Drew!
Hey Will, you know Carey is an outspoken libertarian right? I mean, you’re not that dumb?
Uh oh, Slog had better organize an anti-Carey boycott:
“I believe the answers to all the problems we face as a society won’t come from Washington, it will come from us. So the way we decide to live our lives and our decisions about what we buy or don’t buy are much more important than who we vote for. “
“What’s your basic attitude toward government?” Carey said: “The less the better. As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life, it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement, your financial security, for anything. If you do, you’re screwed.”
“I never thought I was a libertarian until I picked up Reason magazine and realized I agree with everything they had printed..” — Drew Carey in Time (August 9, 2007)
I voted for Ricky Gervais.
@8: “Hey Will, you know Carey is an outspoken libertarian right? I mean, you’re not that dumb?”
Yes, he’s a filthy Randroid. What’s your point?
