Sandpoint (9-3) took over at its 16-yard line [...]
Crosscut held its first Members-only party Thursday night, using the event as a housewarming for our new offices in Belltown and a way to thank lots of new Charter Members. Nice crowd, nice vibes. Thanks to our Marilyn Hoe for all the party prep, to Hale's Ales for the brews,' [...]
CdAMomof4: A new frustration with our school district. There are crowded classrooms and class sizes OVER the state recommended teacher to student ratio - but the district is spending money on yet another administrative position (see the special ed consultant position here). How crazy is this?
Question: Do you think [...]
These FAUX News “errors”, like a couple of recent episodes of the wrong video from an old Palin event suggesting a larger crowd at a recent event, happen with such frequency now, it is becoming increasingly difficult to believe they are all accidents.
Previously, FAUX News went through a [...]

Pretty amusing video of an anti-immigration tea party in Minneapolis, where a prankster succeeds in getting the crowd to cheer the deportation of European immigrants. I especially enjoy the enthusiastic changing of “Columbus, go home!”
What a bunch of maroons.
[...]The announcement appeared to be even [...]
President George W. Bush smiles during his last formal news conference in the press room at the White House in Washington on Jan. 12, 2009.

Last July, in the heat of the crowded race for King County Executive, the King County Ferry District seemed all but doomed. Of the candidates running, only Dow Constantine was committed to staying the course with the fledgling transportation agency.
Luckily for that agency, Constantine em... [...]

As I reported in the Morning News, there was another flagrant teabagging in Washington DC today.
Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri today led a crowd of Teabaggers in front of the Capitol in a rousing recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. He said it "drives liberals crazy" when people say [...]
I remember feeling as though I was in a powder keg, just waiting for the right spark to set it off… the women's side was SO overcrowded (so, exponentially, the men's had to be twice as bad) that every bunk was full, none of the “enemies” or known [...]
Mallahands (so soft!) breezed right through, after a glaring and short session of "meet the press" (MAN is he gray under those bright camera lights—but check out that suit...positively Warehouse for Men!) in which he refused to concede defeat, and the optimism in the room borders on the superstitious/sickening...the crowd [...]

Susan did not concede, saying that only 40% of the vote had [...]
Is it a bad omen for an election-night party to be watching a reality show called The Biggest Loser?
