“Where hacks come to spew nonsense” - B2B
Respectfully, fuck you and the rest of you pretend journalists. You all should be ashamed of your conduct over the past 16 years and if you had any dignity you would resign from your pathetic excuse for a career, move to Togo and never ever ever be heard from again.
Pete:
Phyllis, working with Jim Carlson, wants to make it legal for bikes to treat stop signs like yield signs, and stop lights like stop signs. A similar law is currently in place in Idaho and from all accounts works just fine. When I visited Boise last summer I saw tons of bikes. I wasn’t in Boise long enough to form a truly informed opinion, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of traffic conflicts between bikes and cars.
Go tell the Strib that you agree with Pete.
4:41pm UPDATE: Hummm…seems Ms. Kahn was snoozing during the debate of the bill. Maybe she will wake up in time to vote on it.
h/t Ben.
Below I noted MSNBC’s story tonight about how fmr. Sen. Phil Gramm (McCain’s economics advisor) was advising him on his subprime mortgage bailout policy while Gramm was also a registered lobbyist for the Swiss bank UBS.
Many of the lobbying connections the press has dug up on McCain have been embarrassing. But I’m not sure any have really had teeth until this one. After all, how much does the average voter care that Charlie Black represented a lot of foreign dictators? A stench, yes? But finding out that McCain had a major subprime lender bank lobbyist whispering in his ear when McCain told the public that it was basically tough luck if they lost their houses?
John McCain, "political maverick", bought and paid for.
