  2. More of the idiots: 0XwDLCCsKxQ
  3. Subaru v. cycle nazis hmmm...uhhhhhh...hmmmmm... that's almost as difficult for me to digest as Sea Shepard v. The Makaw tribe
  4. Monocog riders = Tele skiers.
  5. Um...Bob Novak was diagnosed with a brain tumor yesterday. Cause and effect?
  6. TTK's girlfriend describing the nasty?
  7. Are you really trying to claim that CM cyclists follow traffic laws? They claim they're trying to raise awareness, but all they're doing is pissing people off and acting like punks.
  8. SEATTLE – A demonstration turned violent Friday night after a group of cyclists taking part in the Critical Mass demonstration got into an argument with a driver on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Critical Mass is a group of cyclists that takes to the streets the last Friday of every month to promote cyclists' right to the road. It's wasn't clear what sparked the confrontation at 15th and Aloha, but witnesses say they saw about a dozen cyclists surround a white Subaru, blocking in the driver. "There was some screaming and yelling and crunching as he pulled out into the street," described witness Mark Pedersen. Apparently, the driver felt intimidated and tried to back up to get away, but he backed into at least two cyclists. He then tried to take off, but cyclists chased after him, bashed in his car window and assaulted the driver. "There was a giant hole in the windshield... and blood around his neck," said witness Barbara Rockey. The driver was taken to an area hospital. The two bicyclists suffered minor injuries in the melee. KING 5 was told there were two passengers in the Subaru. One appeared to be a pregnant woman. It was not immediately known if the passengers were injured. It was not clear how many cyclists were arrested. The cyclists on the scene declined to comment on what happened.
  9. Street thugs. The only thing the driver of that Subaru did wrong was forget to back up and take out a few more of your sorry asses.
  10. Anyone who claims that there are communists in Seattle is just plain crazy...

    Memories

    My blue and gray EB rock shoes are still somewhere out in the garage. My wife threw my beige Patagonia pile jacket away.
  12. The Seattle lefties wanted something really neat...until they discovered they were gonna have to actually pay for it themselves n' work extra and all that. Thank God they weren't able to establish another RTA.
  13. Proof absolute that Seattle is full of waffling idiots.
  14. That's soon gonna cost you .25 cents in Seattle.
  15. Repair and maintain ALL primary and secondary FS and NPS roads that provide access to existing trails a/o, say, 1990. The White Chuck, West Side, Ipsut, Middle Fork, Suiattle, Steheiken, Dosewallips all come to mind. Where necessary to maintain access, relocate road beds to higher ground despite any wilderness boundary issues. The closing of capillary roads that lead to nowhere seems logical. Only where real, quantifiable, unmanageable, and irreversible environmental damage can be demonstrated. Social considerations should be rare or non existent. (ie: Limits in the Enchantments; yes. Limits on St Helens; no.) It already is making access more difficult for working individuals and families. It is concentrating use into fewer and fewer areas. It will eventually erode the user base and create apathy for the very lands being protected. It would mean that I cannot show my future grandchildren some of the great places I once enjoyed on the weekends. It would mean they won't grow up caring. I hope your project is a sincere effort at balance. Is this work related to a master's thesis? If not, have you formulated a thesis statement for this project/paper? Quid pro quo?
  16. State spending has increased 33% since our current Dem governor and her rubber-stamp super-majority state legislature took power a mere 3 1/2 years ago.
  17. State coffers would be about $250 million per year fuller if our governor and the state DNC weren't busy taking bribes from state Indian tribes.
  18. Q: What's orange, has four wheels, and sleeps six? A: A Washington State DOT truck.
  19. Are you saying that, figuratively, he is wrong?
  20. I AM curious why this (picture below) cost <$1Bn, but a floating bridge across still water is going to cost 3 times more. WTF? As for tolls; what's good for Tacoma/Gig Harbor is good enough for Seattlites. Pony up. Better yet, don't take any state money and cover it all with tolls--yes, including the bike lanes. Tacoma Narrows just went up to 4 bucks.
  21. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/21/mccain-campaign-says-new-york-times-blocked-op-ed-response-to-obama/ The Times told McCain’s advisers that it would not accept the op-ed in its current form because it did not offer new information. Obama’s speech previewed a series of speeches leading up to a highly publicized trip to war zones in the Middle East. “I’d be very eager to publish the senator on the op-ed page. However, I’m not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written. I’d be pleased, though, to look at another draft. Let me suggest an approach,”..."It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece. To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving victory — with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis to cooperate. And it would need to describe the Senator’s Afghanistan strategy, spelling out how it meshes with his Iraq plan,” Shipley wrote. ...Shipley, who was named deputy editor in January 2003, served in the Clinton administration as a senior presidential speechwriter and special assistant to the president from 1995 to 1997.
  22. Ahhh, there's nothing like watching a herd of 30 snowboarders side-slipping their way down Upper International, polishing the slope to a fine albedo of 1.
  23. Suppose you are facing a twelve-foot high cyclone fence and must climb over it in order to retrieve your tennis ball. Not including the angry Rotwieler on the other side, what is the actual YDS decimal rating of said fence?
