Representative Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) has a new proposal out that seems to be right on the dubious heels of the "Strip@Clothe" campaign to "help" the homeless. Rep. McDermott has just introduced legislation, H.R. 6501 , that seeks to tax Internet gambling and use the "proceeds" to help those "in foster care and individuals in declining sectors of the economy." This seems to be a typical liberal strategy...

I’ve been reading about the liberal case against Jim McDermott for years. Many have said Seattle’s congressman is out of touch, worries more about foreign trips than local pork and even when he’s on the right side of an issue, can hurt the cause with his sometimes controversial statements. But voters in the 7th District return him to office by consistently huge victory margins. I believe Seattle voters...

Putz is displeased that Caucasians insist on "comparing people to Hitler." No word yet on whether it's still acceptable to compare Jim McDermott -- who in 2002 said a) that Bush would "mislead" the American public to justify military action and b) " that no WMD would be found in Iraq. " -- to Neville Chamberlain. Who, uh, served up Czechoslovakia to Hitler on a silver platter. Asshole.

Going Home , 1946 Rep. Jim McDermott has introduced legislation to name the University District post office after the late artist Jacob Lawrence . Lawrence lived near UW, where he taught, for nearly 30 years before his death in 2000. It makes me wonder: There are oodles of donor names all over this city, but what about spaces named after artists? I can't think of one. Lawrence nearly ended up a postal...
