   This made me laugh:  “the Herald of Everett voiced hope that Central Washington will get a better House member, ‘a sensible center Republican or Democrat (perhaps a Latino) ‘”
   The center is so far to the right they’d get more of the same. There are many things you just can’t come out and say in secondary market newspapers without being cashiered. The fact that the people voted out a person who tried to keep a hospital open tells you everything. What’s a centrist in an environment like that? Someone who’d vote to close the hospital but wouldn’t forget to add that people can still go to an emergency room somewhere. I was curious what “Doc’s” net worth is now that he’s retiring.

   These folks have no self-awareness, no self-awareness at all.

    

   One laughs because the alternative is tears.
