Washingtonians paid for the Approve 71 campaign, James Dobson paid for the Rejects
Pam's House Blend (Free subscription) | 02/11/2009
Distribution of Approve 71 donors from Washington Microsoft made a big splash a few weeks ago by donating $100,000 to the Approve 71 campaign. Indeed it was a significant and much-needed contribution by a major Washington employer. But the really big story is that Microsoft's gift was only one of 4,175 donations made by Washingtonians from across the state (see map). In fact, 85% of all cash...

Toto, I don’t think we’re in New England anymore
Mumble Mumble... (Free subscription) | yesterday
From this morning’s Post, a delightfully breathless story about how cold it was this weekend: Many Washingtonians exulted in a sunny Saturday, but their delight came on a day that could also be described as the coldest since March. … But about eight hours earlier, the mercury had dipped to 35 degrees. It had not fallen so low [...]

Important Battles Proceeding in Seattle
Snowflakes in Hell (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009
Joe is covering what’s happening in Seattle right now. Much like us here in Pennsylvania, the Washingtonians have a preemption fight on their hands. The instigator got ousted in his primary, but his successor, just elected last Tuesday, is vowing to continue the fight. Washington’s preemption statute is even more unambiguous than Pennsylvania’s. From the [...] Related posts:...

... cheapo bus giants Bolt and Mega, not to mention DC2NY or Washington Deluxe, seem to think that Washingtonians only want to travel to New York and nowhere else, we're guessing many of our readers will want to give Azumah a shot. Here's what Azumah says to expect: D.C. to Philly and D.C. to Boston routes will start on Friday, November 20, while D.C. to Wilmington service starts on Tuesday,...

From HRC’s organizer in Washington State: Volunteers here in Seattle are still on the phones making sure Washingtonians head to the polls in Pierce county or to one of the many drop sites across the state. Seattle’s numbers will be reported around 8:15PM PST tonight. Since most of the state is mail-in only, most of the [...] WA ELECTION REPORT: 2 Hours Left is a post from the Out...

LeBron James Banner at Gallery Place
D.C. Sports Bog (Free subscription) | 03/11/2009
For the past couple of days, I was thinking how maybe Cleveland fans and Washingtonians should get together. You know, how Browns fans, tired of a decade of losing, are planning a protest to grab the owner's attention. That whole thing. (Leaders of the Browns fan revolt actually scored a meeting with Browns owner Randy Lerner; where they planned to present more than 2,000 fan e-mails and ask...

For as much as rural Washingtonians bask in their self-image of rugged independence, their limited tax base leaves them more dependent on state tax dollars than more populous regions of the state, and thus their communities would be disproportionately impacted by the inevitable cuts in state spending I-1033 would...

This is because, as in California, most Washingtonians vote by mail, and SurveyUSA has the Approve side leading 53-42 among those who have already voted . A small bit of good fortune for the Approve side is that there is a highly competitive mayoral race in Seattle, which might encourage turnout in that obviously very liberal corner...

Dinner with Deepak Chopra

Most Washingtonians and journos use Twitter to stay connected or for a little self-promotion. Deepak Chopra is also an avid Twitter-er, but much different than most of the tweets FBDC follows. The author and mind-body medicine guru tweets his daily intentions and his hundreds of thousands of followers benefit from messages like this morning's "to transform the world transform yourself."...

Referendum 71 shows Washington's strategy for marriage equality is working
Seattle Times (Free subscription) | 06/11/2009
Before that work begins, the gay and lesbian community should take a moment and enjoy what happened last week. It is no small thing that Washingtonians believe that gays and lesbians are owed basic rights granted to heterosexual couples. It was only 11 years ago that the Legislature instituted the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits marriage to heterosexuals. Only three years ago, the Washington...

Collapse of Tim Eyman's Initiative 1033 proves that teabaggers are just a fringe
Northwest Progressive Institute (Free subscription) | 04/11/2009
... As the years went by and Eyman kept bad ideas rolling out of his initiative factory, more and more Washingtonians began to sense that perhaps this was a man who didn't have the public interest at heart. In other words, Eyman himself has become toxic over time. Of Eyman's last three successful measures, that qualified for the ballot and then passed, only one made it across the finish line...
