- Barack Obama coasting to victory in Washington
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Sen. Barack Obama is coasting to an overwhelming but expected victory over Sen. Hillary Clinton in today's Democratic caucuses. With results still being counted, Obama had a two-to-one advantage over Clinton. About 1.5 percent of the delegates were uncommitted or were cast for other candidates.

L pod, one of three orca families that frequent Washington waters, was spotted Sunday off Monterey Bay.

- $65-Million Pantsuit: Perverting Consumer Protection
  Posted by Orato
  It isn’t every day that tort reformers and personal injury lawyers find themselves in agreement. But when the newly renamed American Association for Justice (formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America) recently joined the American Tort Reform Association and small business owners everywhere in condemning an outrageous and seemingly vengeful lawsuit against a neighborhood dry cleaning store, a rare opportunity for nonpartisan legal reform may have presented itself.

- Capitol Hill awash in corruption and criminality
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  April was a not a good month for the Republican Party. Two Congressional Republicans were forced to step down from their seats on powerful House committees amidst separate corruption and influence-peddling investigations—and may eventually lose their seats in Congress or go to jail—while the head of the US Agency for International Development, Randall Tobias, resigned from his post Monday after he was named as a client of a Washington DC call girl service.

- University of Washington staffer killed by stalker, guns and domestic violence
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  I hate to say it but protection orders are for women who want to free themselves from annoying men. If you feel truly unsafe, you need to do whatever you can to escape the threat ... while also taking every available legal measure as well. Truly violent offenders are often only more enraged by protection orders - but not restrained by them.

Washington, British Columbia officials dread new passport requirement
I still think electronic passport verification is key to real security. And, I'm pro- passport requirements for travel highway and air.
