GREAT stuff today, Eric…I come from a family of literary minds (my mother is an English Prof), so while haiku was never one of primary strengths, I still appreciate it nonetheless.
I will say this about Seattle though: I don’t think they’re human out thee.
I lived on Whidbey Island for a number of years, and grew quite familiar with Seattle and the unique breed of creatures who inhabit it. Granted, I wasn’t there by choice. I was stationed at NAS Whidbey and always thought that having Naval bases anywhere near Seattle was a big practical joke since the vast majority of the population at large hated us.
But I digress… Seattle was a bizarre, surreal place. Liberal doesn’t even begin to describe it. I would sooner declare a political party of Martians in Seattle than even try to lump them in to even the most extreme of the Democrat party.
I still shudder to think of the people I encountered out there.
Our Denver papers are full of coverage of the Democrat convention to be held here in 2008. Fifteen thousand “journalists” are expected.one year from today. Eric, I hope you will be one of the journalists covering this party.

I’d say Howard is doing pretty well lately. At least that’s what the recent elections should show you…
