Vote
We sat down with the ballot and voter’s pamphlet tonight and did our best. As usual for a Seattle ballot, it was fairly entertaining. (Prison labor, drunk drivers, city charter preamble?) But School District Board candidate David Blomstrom has to win my award for favorite statement in the pamphlet.
I also advocate socialism – not Soviet-style, but more in line with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ vision. The oil industry should be nationalized, and money spent on weapons used to murder civilians in Iraqistan would be better used to fund free medical care.
