I met Nichols a few weeks ago. Seems like a decent guy.
I don't give a shit who the Clallam County prosecuting attorney is. I don't even give a shit who the donut chasers are. I don't give them any trouble and they don't give me any.
My record is so fucking squeaky clean it is boring.
you're in the clear now BBC, smoking weed is legal
@ 4:31 PM..... I don't smoke pot, other than maybe a hit once in a while at social hour at the bar, you know, just to be social.
A friend reports from the Sequim City Council meeting this evening (shrill harpy sighting ahead, keep reading). Big decision tonight: would the City adopt the heinous, union busting Propositions 1 and 2? Or would they punt and put it on the ballot? Props 1 & 2, foisted on the citizens of Sequim by the certifiably frothing at the mouth Evergreen Freedom Foundation, would open all union negotiations to the public and relax any requirement to join a union shop to work. In effect, a right to work law. Washington is not a right to work state, so this would place the citizens of Sequim in the position of violating state law by adopting these props. They would not survive a legal challenge and the city will be forced to defend itself, costing the taxpayers money. All to satisfy the insatiable blood lust of some of the most crazed among us (see harpy reference above). The Evergreen Freedom Foundation knows this. They also have a strategy defined and its sole purpose is to raise their profile with their donor base to show them that the FF is doing something with their donations instead of what they normally do which is sit on their duffs in the bars around Olympia. You can imagine the divisive nature of such propositions in a small town and you'd be right, this is bringing out the worst in public behavior.
So as to the harpy, it's Shelley Taylor, a person you can google search if you want to learn more about her. She's a retired actress so if you find this person who was an actress in your search you've got the right Shelley Taylor. Shelley was amongst the speakers there this evening, I've seen her perform in a public meeting before so I can easily visualize the way she looked as she launched her speech. My friend reports that she over ran her allotted time for comment and was told to stop and sit down. But Ms Taylor was unable to control herself and blurted out "And they're Communists, too!"
So there, there's the real feeling finally being expressed. "They're Communists!" The Crusty Codgers of Clallam County and the Evergreen Freedom Foundation have finally completely revealed themselves as the modern day iteration of the John Birch Society. Unable to reason, they resort to using a word as a slur that has actually resulted in the death of people when it was used against them in that way, in our own country.
When the Tea Party was first ramping up here in 2010 or so, I went to there meetings once in awhile. Once, they had a speaker from the state level GOP talking about upcoming federal elections. He opened his slide presentation with an image of Barack Obama sitting in a watermelon patch outside the Whitehouse. BO had a bone through his nose. Several in the audience snickered, but the moderator chided the presenter and said "We don't do that here." I actually developed respect for them even though we were so far apart politically. But this is too far, attacking our fellow citizens in this way is reprehensible and extreme beyond the pale. The local instigators don't even live in Sequim and the real force behind it are Olympia outsiders. I hope people here realize how destructive this local bunch is and stops listening to them.

Thanks for the report on the Sequim meeting. The PDN is all but useless to learn about what is going on in the area, so, again, thanks.
The John Birchers have had a strong presence here for quite awhile. You know, "We support freedom of speech, as long as you agree with us".
"We support freedom, but we are happy to tell you what your choices are going to be."
"We support freedom of religion, but you have to agree to White, Christian based beliefs." Such as the efforts to put the 10 Commandments in public places, opposition to a women's right to chose in matters concerning their own bodies, and prayer in public schools.
Yeah. "Freedom".
Port Angeles should adopt those three monkeys as it's logo.
You know the ones. The ones with hands over their ears, their eyes and mouth.
" We don't want to acknowledge any problems, hear about any problems, and we don't want to talk about any problems. Things are just fine the way they have always been".
