Jay Inslee celebrated his 65th birthday was this week (hey, he’s Social Security eligible, maybe retirement is in order!). Considering his recent childish behavior, we can only assume that — at some point — our green governor came up with a wish list for the toys he wanted.
Here’s what we imagined he included:
1. An oyster shucking kit… I told people oysters won’t exist in 10 years, given that not-so-urgent climate change catastrophe that is coming our way, so I better enjoy them now.
2. A new sketch book and/or paint-by-numbers kit… in order to create more 5th grade level masterpieces for fundraising purposes.
3. A plane ticket… is that climate change conference in Paris that no one ever invited me to still going on?
4. A short memory for voters… so that they don’t remember all the promises I made last time around, like no-new-taxes, a jobs-focused agenda, and reforming state government through lean management.
5. A new Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary, a new State Department of Corrections Secretary, and a new State Department of Social and Health Services Secretary who will continue pushing my highly partisan agenda without question, even if they don’t last very long in the new job.
