Quoted: What Obama Has Going For Him
Hipsters. Lots and lots of them. They love Obama. They're educated, they live in their same-sex households, they donate to Obama at a much higher clip than most states, and they're going to wear ironic clothing and send in their permanent absentee ballots for the Democratic candidate for president. - derek | Shared With: Everyone - Sep 18 2008 | seattle, news, wamu, humor
Quoted: “We used a zero-down option-ARM loan to finance the purchase of WaMu Center in 2006, and since our rate adjusted earlier this year, our payments have nearly doubled,” said CEO Kerry Killinger. “We had no idea that it would skyrocket like that.”

20,000 strong at Key Arena to see Barack Obama, thousands turned away.
Quoted: Doors were locked after KeyArena reached its capacity of 20,000, officials said. Those who made it inside were not allowed to leave because police wanted to keep those outside from pushing through the doors and forcing themselves in.

You must be Derek's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Well, it's great that 269 will have more frequent runs, but it will probably still take an hour for me to get to work on it. I think they need a new route that skips 269's Bear Creek leg of the trip and goes directly to Microsoft -- not passing Go, not collecting $200. If they can't get my bus commute down to 30 minutes, it's still going to be very tempting to drive. But, at least they're trying. I need to get my ass to some city council meetings and vent.
