Outlook on politics and elections in the state of Washington from an overall centrist viewpoint. My views tend to be libertarian in nature, but at the same time are largely nonpartisan.
Rep. Judy Clibborn [D-Mercer Island] has won the Democratic sweepstakes to become the next Chair of the House Transportation Committee, the Times reported in today's newspaper. The article notes that this is a victory for tunnel foes, as Clibborn was one of 30 House Democrats who signed a letter recently in opposition to replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a tunnel.

I like to think that I'm a rarity in blogging, in that I'm a political nerd who doesn't have a partisan axe to grind in everything they write. I considered myself a Republican up until 2004 when I finally had enough of their bible-based politics, yet still harbour a deep dislike of the Democratic Party because of their ties to labour groups as well as their tendency to bloat budgets. Ideologically I'm somewhere between centrist and libertarian. On economics I fit neatly in the centre-right, while on social issues I can be fairly radical. And no, I'm not British. It's just that I can respect that they created our language and know how to write it properly.
