No working American should have to worry about health care. How does a welder work without hands.

When this news broke I was horrified to learn I had these treats from China - I threw them out.

Nothing but made in America dog food and treats for my pup.

They why is it that sales, tax revenue, and visitorship to Seattle continues to decline year after year since 2008. You can't blame the economy this year in particular as things within King County are basically booming again - yet sales and meal tax collection in SEATTLE itself is down, number of cars coming into the city is down, visitors are down.

Now how all the, ehem, "helps" business is beyond me.

Here is the point you're missing. I have no issue with parking turn - that makes good business sense. But two hours on a sunny Sunday afternoon, you might spend more than that time trying to get lunch at Red Robin on the waterfront. Oh, you got a ticket. The average person isn't going to chance it - they just aren't going to go at all.

If they had given a four hour limit, the complaints get a bit more hollow. Four hours definitely covers an IMAX movie, a boat tour, visiting the aquarium, or having a meal and some shopping. THAT would help turn. Two hours - just hurts water front business.

Go look at the airbag warning sticker located on the sun visor on the DRIVER seat of your car. In case you didn't know, you shouldn't put a child seat there, especially a rearward facing child seat.

Yup - that's the country we live in.

And petty criminals in Auburn rejoice at the news! The weakness out of the King County prosecutors office is pathetic.

...She recently graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in political science, according to her profile...

And apparently didn't learn the first thing about POLITICS. She should try and get her money back - her career in politics - over.

Her career with any Asian overlords as her boss - equally over.
