It’s a short Thanksgiving week, so liberals got an early start over the weekend on some serious whining. Nationally, the cast of Hamilton made news by providing an encore lecture to Vice President-elect Mike Pence in New York. Locally, former Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn tried to demonstrate he still had some relevance by calling his fellow Lefties to the barricades against the “anti-urban” Congress that will actually have a smaller GOP majority next year than it currently does.
Also trying to whip up the public’s anger (as usual) is the state’s teachers union, which wants to make sure parents have choices for how to educate their children, as long as that choice is restricted to union-controlled schools. Also restricting choices is our state’s Department of Transportation, which continues to be faced with the challenge of failing and unpopular tolls on Interstate 405 – so it will continue to not try to actually solve that problem.
Finally, the debate among lefties on how best to deliver “clean” energy to Washingtonians is focusing again on the most “green” option available – hydropower. It really bothers the greenies when we already have an existing solution for something they want to raise taxes to do, so their approach is to tear dams out, and hope the sun shines.
