SEATTLE--It has been a SAD week in Seattle, city of rain, darkness, caffeine, secularism and an 82 percent majority that voted in vain to fire President Bush.
SAD, as just about everybody here knows, is an acronym for seasonal affective disorder, the mood-crushing curse of wintertime existence in the northernmost major U.S. city in the Lower 48. An estimated 20 to 30 percent of residents experience some degree of the disorder, which researchers believe is triggered by the body's reaction to reduced natural light. Symptoms include sadness, irritability, gluttony, weight gain, menstrual difficulties and interpersonal strain.
As expected, suffering began last Sunday, with the end of daylight-saving time. Like a guillotine blade, darkness fell at 5 in the afternoon. It was the pitiless annual reminder that by midwinter, there would barely be eight hours of daylight, almost all of it sponged up by thick blankets of concrete-colored clouds that, on average, squat over Seattle 226 days a year.
The next day, election eve, it rained hard. The wind blew, roofs leaked, basements floded and Seattle seemed to slip irretrievably into the dank funk that has given birth to the SAD resistance movement, otherwise known as excessive caffeine consumption. That movement gave birth to Starbucks and scores of other, lesser-known local purveyors of overpriced coffee.

No doubt we'll see lots of politico cartoons out that place depicting GW as the Grinch that Stole Christmas.
Seattle is famous for coffee and fine whine.
BAD is an acronym for Brain in A$$ Disease which seems to infect about 82% of the population of Seattle.
The suicide rate is Seattle is going to go up and it will be blamed on Bush. You saw it here first...
You've got to be kidding me? Bush lost Seattle 82-16? That sounds very fishy.

That is very cool. :-)
B00H00. What will happen to all those poor lefties that impose a self exile to Canada?
Uh-oh, better put the whole place on *suicide watch*. Let's pass out the razor blades and some rope, anyway.
Seattle get over it.you lost.
huh? I'm not in Seattle!
There's a reason Lewis and Clark made haste to pack up and leave the relative comfort and security of the Pacific Northwest as soon as practicable in order to run the gauntlet of the Rockies in reverse. It was depressing then and still is.

That does sound rather extreme, even for Seattle. Jeez, even in the Back Bay/Beacon Hill district of Boston, Kerry only got 77 percent of the vote. Could Seattle be even more liberal than Boston? Cambridge, however, went 85-13 for Kerry, which is probably a higher percentage than Kerry got in his own family.
All this, and the death of Arafat, to boot. And people actually say there's no G-d...? :)
I don't the exact figures but I wouldn't be surprised if the figures are accurate. Seattle (King County) and two other counties on the west side are responsible for giving us Sen. Patty "Moron" Murray, Sen. Maria Cant"budget"well, Rep. Jim "Baghdad" McDermott, Gov. Gary "the first Chinese-American governor" Locke for 8 years, and numerous other liberal leftist communists demoncRATS that run the politics. Four years, those 3 counties gave Cant"budget"well the senatorship while the rest of the state went for the pubby Sen. Slade Gorton, the incumbent at that time. Sad! Very sad for those living east of the Cascade Mtns.
