Excellent article about the realities of bicycling around Seattle and the Eastside. A Complete Streets roadmap would be awesome.

Quoted: Seattle has a reputation as a cycling paradise, but it has a long way to go before bike commuting is truly viable for regualr folks.

America's Democrats | Happy days are here again—or are they? | Economist.com

This article raises several good points about the democratic party and how it may impact the upcoming election this year.

Quoted:The Republicans are so unpopular that any semi-competent opposition party should be sauntering to victory in the mid-term elections in November. Only 36% of Americans think George Bush is doing a good job as president. Even Republican states are lukewarm: his approval rating is above 50% only in Idaho, Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming. And Americans like the Republican-led Congress even less: a paltry 23% of them approve of its performance.

The Seattle Times: Local News: Cantwell-McGavick Senate race a contrast of moderates

Right in our backyard. Should be interesting race. Safeco vs. Real Networks?

The somnolent campaign so far belies its potential to be a close contest with national interest. And with the candidates expected to spend about $28 million total by November, it'll be hard to miss.
