"Yes! Yesss!! Oh, let me taste your tears, Seattle...mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet. Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-ymmuy."
Mongol Warrior: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcon on your wrist, wind in your hair!
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women!
What these girlymen need is a bracing Canadian winter. The golden opportunities waiting for them in Canada will make those ceramicists, street performers, mimes and interpretive dancers sit up and take notice. Canada has a desperate shortage of these plus a crying need for more lesbian poets, herbal healers and aroma therapists too. Liberal arts graduates from really progressive universities are dazzled with big bucks by generous Canadian industries. Canada's socialist economy will shower immigrants with tons of free stuff. Homosexual don't have to worry about expensive medicines for their AIDS infected lovers either, the Canadian health care system is happy to provide everything they need. Don't delay, disgruntled liberals, Canada Wants You!
Dublin, where I grew up, has 6 hours daylight in midwinter; and as for clouds, no one does overcast like Ireland. And yet, how often do you hear the Irish whining?
ping....bring yer meds.
Seattle people like to say, "Tell everybody how terrible it is here .. how much it rains, how much you hate it. That way, they won't move here." Seattle has a much more pleasant daytime than California .. the sunlight is softer, more filtered by the atmosphere, and easier on the eyes.
That IS best!LOL
Maybe they should all commit suicide.

Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat schon zur Winterszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Schadenfreude, O Schadenfreude,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

Gloom descends on the great liberal Mecca.
Seattle is controlled by government and labor unions. Like San Francisco there is also a large gay contingent that resists a cultural change to moral conservatism.
To the south of Seattle lie pockets of disgruntled blue collar neighborhoods. Decades of layoffs and hiring booms have left a population accustomed to seeking often frivolous disability and freebie subsidies from the state.
Along the Seattle side of Lake Washington and along the north side of the City facing the Puget Sound are a new demographic of more conservative minded families and young professionals. They choose to live in Seattle to avoid the long commutes from the eastside of Bellevue-Redmond-Kirkland. They keep their politics silent out of fear of getting into confrontation with very vocal liberals.
The University of Washington lies more to the northend of Lake Washington and by a cut leading ultimately to the Puget Sound. It supports fringe groups that border on terrorist cells.
Abortion issues keep women voting democrat. In my opinion many of these women had abortions early because of loose morals and need the democrat party platform to soothe their angst about how thay 'corrected' their mistake. Roe vs. Wade provides them an affirmation that they are in some sort of mainstream of national consciousness.
No idea how the perspectives of pro-abortion women will ever change since they see Christians as opposed to their 'mistake' of getting pregnant. They fear Christians.
Many such women in their 40s and 50s say they got married because they got pregnant and they are bitter that they married too young and often to a man who could not care for them while suffering layoffs repeatedly with the boom and bust cycle of Boeing and their many subcontractors.
Seattle's economy is now more diversified but lags in employment because of an unfriendly business environment. The rest of the state appears to be 'getting it' but the city of Seattle is stuck in liberal mud.
Geeeez! That sounds like Seattle all year around!
I believe there are many high bridges in the Seattle area.
They'll be dancing naked in the streets of Fremont and stroking their giant bronze statue of Lenin again by Spring Solstice, don't you worry.
Now, if I only didn't believe it morally wrong to pursue such govt teat foolishness, I'd seek a big fat federal grant to do the research and prove this common sense stuff. Wonder if these shameful, woe is me, screw ups would read a paragraph that begins "A Recent Study Proves You're Simply a Dumb Ass with Fairly Easily Solved, Mostly Self Induced Problems".
Living in DFW area of Texas, I cherish my gloomy days and sometimes wish there were more.
Years ago a friend of mine was very depressed, and moved home to stay with her parents for awhile...in Seattle! Let's just say it didn't cheer her up much. Eventually she wound up in San Jose, CA, married with kids and happy for years now.
Hearing the lamentations of Seattle is just so sweet.
of as much of their money, hmmm......? Nah! I wouldn't do that, but it sure is a pretty image to think about
