Sometimes it seems like the residents of Seattle are completely detached from reality. While those of us in the real world are hard at work at our jobs, Seattleites are rallying in the streets, protesting Chase Bank's "Alleged Fossil-Fuel Investments". Please enlighten me. Why, pray tell, would anyone give a rat's ass whether a bank …

These are just a few of the stories at the top of the KOMO News site this morning. Every single story shows how the radicals running local government have destroyed everything they touch. The City of Seattle encourages (does not punish) public drug use, especially in and around the burgeoning homeless encampments. Seattle police Officer …

A short while ago, the city council of Seattle unanimously passed an “employee hours tax,” more commonly called a “head tax” on businesses with $20 million of gross income earned in Seattle. The tax was intended to pay for more “services for the homeless” whose plight were supposedly caused by all those disgusting, high-paying jobs …

Just when you think it can't get any weirder, it gets weirder. Welcome to the city that values homeless people who contribute little to society except dirty needles, trash, and feces on the street; more than it values the companies who provide high-wage jobs to thousands of its tax-paying citizens. The city council passed the …

Every year on the day after Christmas, the University Unitarian Church in Seattle puts on a full-length Handel's Messiah Sing-along/Play-along. They do the full Messiah, all the arias, all the choruses, and all the recitatives; not a note is left out. Everyone sings everything that is within his or her vocal range-no soloists. You may …

My hubby has done an absolutely hilarious post over at Ricochet, and I just had to let my followers here see it.

Tomorrow is May 1, or May Day, or "Workers of the World Unite" day. In Seattle, in the everlasting spirit of the WTO Riots of 1999, various leftist student, activist, and Anarchist groups get together and march for workers' and immigrants' "rights". They normally start in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, and march down Pine Street …
I hate green. Green is my least favorite color, at least in clothing and accessories and household goods. I don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, or any other day, for that matter. And I'm the opposite of an "environmental wacko", since I don't believe that humans are a blot on the landscape, or destroying …
