It’s been about three months since we got together last…and as much as I missed y’all – well, let’s just say a long break is truly soothing for the soul.
When I came back, I figured we’d be able to talk about how my Congressman, Dave Reichert (R- Politically Vulnerable And Utterly Ineffectual) was on the political ropes, with a Democrat or two already taking advantage of the fact that, in this cycle, there are a lot of voters who are sick of Republicans – and that a lot of them are located in Washington’s 8th District.
But so far, the only thing campaign-y that’s come to my door was what Reichert calls “A Common Sense Jobs Plan” (me, I call it either an unimpressive load of hooey or impressively ironic, on several levels), and it makes you wonder if the Democrats might once again fail to make the effort needed, right now, to finally get this guy retired.
And all that suggests that it might be time for some third party to step up and give Reichert the challenge he truly deserves – and in this “most interesting time” my friend Rosemary might be just the candidate we need.
