Hold on a minute

Didn't the Resmuglicans attack Obama for saying he would go after terrorists in Pakistan?

So where's the right wing criticism of yesterday's U.S. strike in South Waziristan? Have they called Obama and said, "sorry Barack, we decided that was a good idea you had there"?

McSame Sans Flag

Look who's left the house without his Flag Pin -- why does McCain't hate America? And notice how he's checking out Gov. Palin's rack. I bet Cindy can hear the footsteps.

Sonics aftermath - can we move on yet?

Now that the Sonics are loading their stuff into Clay Bennett's stretch Escalade (one guesses) for the long drive to OKC, is it too soon to raise the issue of what happens to the future city revenue no longer dedicated to paying off the Key Arena remodel?

For years, the City has used the excuse "there just isn't enough money for that" for everything not involving Paul Allen. Well the Sonics settlement means $25 million has been freed up.

I hereby step to the counter and take a numbered ticket in the name of sidewalks for all of Greenwood. Everybody else: the line forms behind me.
