Seattle Landlords are not going to be very happy.

The Washington State Supreme Court has just handed down a ruling that is going to make it much more difficult to own rental property in Seattle.  The near-socialist, depraved City passed a law that requires landlords to rent to the "first in line qualified renter" when they have a house or apartment to rent.  So …

Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc, Seattle?

That phrase is commonly called a fallacy (after this, thus because of this), but you can judge this instance for yourself, with a couple of stories from KOMO-Seattle. First, there is this story about the low morale at the Seattle Police Department.  In recent years, there has been an increase in low-level street crime, and …

What was that I said about Entitlement in Seattle?

Good grief!  The infamous "Tent City 3", run by Seattle's "Homeless-Industrial Complex" representative SHARE/WHEEL, had to make an "emergency" move. The article I read mentioned that this homeless camp has been in existence for 20 years!  Now, if the 60's radicals who run Seattle tell you that they are working to end homelessness, please do …

You can’t spell Democrats without…

Rats.  Those wily little rodents are much in the news lately, after our President took jabs at Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings who represents Baltimore.  It seems that more than one news outlet in that area has done stories, and documentaries describing the rat-infestation problems in Baltimore.  It is well-known that rats follow humans wherever they …

Sometimes I wonder why I read the news at all…Welcome to Seattle and King County WA

The story at the top of the KOMO Web site today is a video of an Army Veteran  who was touring Seattle with his wife and children, describing how a "repeat offender" just released from jail threw coffee on his young son in the stroller.  The offender had served eight months of a 12-month sentence …

Dispatches from the NW Loony Bin, AKA Seattle

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 …

Annals of “Liberals Destroy Everything They Touch”, Seattle Edition

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 …

The continuing saga: Is the Wall of Stupid starting to crack in Seattle?

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 …

Part Two: Welcome to 21st-Century Seattle

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 …

My Little Corner of the World-Photo Challenge

I was born and raised, and still live, in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, 20 miles north of the People's Republic (?) of Seattle.  These photos were all taken within a 60-mile radius of home. Silver Lake, about two miles south of my house in Everett. I don't think there's any more beautiful …
