Although a little mean-spirited (but deservingly so), this is the funniest thing that I've read all day. Thank you for that, Goldy.

argh! *deservedly*

OMFG that first paragraph is the funniest fucking thing I've read this week.

Correction: The 4th paragraph is the funniest fucking thing I've read this week.

1163's biggest problem is that it will only re-start the fight against cuts between K-12 groups, higher ed, health care for the poor and health care for children. The original initiative was suspended in order to keep funding in place for these other mandates the State has to deal with.

The premise is great. I just wish they would have either a: put in a funding source, or b: specified what should be cut. This is not dissimilar from a Eyman initiative, in that it creates an unfunded mandate (his are tax cuts). Even the yes campaign admits there is no funding source, no path to increase revenue, and no plan on what to advocate to cut in order to fund the training portion of the initiative.

As for Cyndi - does this mean we have to look at her cleavage all election season long?

Lying isn't illegal during election campaigns in this state.

Didn't you read the ruling on that?

so much for "seattle nice."

[T]he political equivalent of "Death with Dignity." Except without the dignity.

Dammit, Goldy, you owe me a new laptop, since I spewed a giant mouthful of beer all over mine laughing out loud as I read that.

Best blog writer ever.
