Gloom descends on the great liberal Mecca. It's easy to pass laws and be "tolerant" of People Of Color WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!
It's easy to be "compassionate" with social programs WHEN NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO LIVE THERE!!

The danker the mood in Seattle, the brighter it is in the other parts of America.
Thanks, Seattle, for making it possible for us normal-folk to be so happy today.

Or as they say in Philly, the closer the BONE, the sweeter the MEAT.
And the voters in Seattle certainly got BONED.

Seattle area's weather is unique. Seattle is located under a persistent weather pattern that causes higher rainfall and cloudiness. A name has been given to this area and/or its pattern but it escapes me. It is an area where persistent ocean winds from the S.W., carrying a lot of moisture, collide with another airmass and generate rain. Eighty+ miles north, south or especially east of Seattle, cloudiness and rainfall drop off and, probably, weather-related "SAD" reports are less. Believe you mean the "convergent" or "convergence" zone.

A double shot of Starbucks espresso should do the trick for 'em...that and an immigration application to Canada.

This is the city that has this statue of Lenin.

it isn't a blanket of gray sadness and depression that fills the city right now, it's wide-open, venomous, spittle-filled, vitriolic hatred.I'd say that was a better description as well. Stay safe in the big city and if things get ugly you are always welcome here. Our neighbors are all Christians and all voted for Bush, but we only have 5 or so of them. We're out by Black Diamond.

This is because of my Washington State "Get out the Gloat 2004" Campaign, I bet...

I refer to days in Seattle when the sunlight is not obstructed by clouds. "Bright" days are much easier on the eyes. Much less squinting. I've been both places -- Seattle and So. Cal. -- long enough to know the difference. What part of any of this sounds silly?I lived in the Seattle area (Redmond) for seven years. Those "bright" days last for about 2 weeks in July :) Of course, when there is a sunny day in Seattle, it's the most beautiful place in the world. Snowcapped volcanoes in almost every direction. The only saving grace for the long, ugly winters is that you can go skiing in 45 minutes.
I always recommend to everyone I know (I live in north GA now) to go visit Seattle at least once in the summer. There's nothing like walking up Mt Rainier to the snow in the summer, seeing a Killer whale pod slide by the ferry, and the bald eagles. Quite a "wow" factor.
