The
Podcast returns from
a long vacation hibernation incarceration a coma the dead to tackle the big political issues of the
day last many months. The discussion starts with bold analyses of the recent election: the panel re-litigates The Tunnel (long after the topic is hip, relevant, or even
interesting), and contemplates the meaning of the pro-tunnel vote for Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. The discussion meanders into a referendum on Seattle itself (whereupon, Goldy briefly attempts to re-litigate the Chihuly Museum, long after the topic is hip, relevant, or even
interesting). Circling back to the election, the panel ponders the piss-poor performance of King County Councilmember Jane "37.9%" Hague, and the remarkable candidacy of challenger Richard Mitchell. Catalyzed by
another lame-ass
Seattle Times editorial, the Podcast closes on the topic of public employees, education and (of course) Seattle schools.
Goldy (
The Stranger) was joined by
Seattlepi.com’s Joel Connelly, and
Horsesass' Carl Ballard and me.
The show is 30:15, and is
available here as an MP3.
