Restrictions seen as unreasonable
Jul 03 2008, 8:42 PM I am a former resident of Oak Harbor. I was reading the article on the expanded no building zone off of Highway 20 (News-Times, March 12). Can I tell you this is a joke.

Sound Off: Ferry system tackles challenges
Jul 03 2008, 10:55 PM By DAVID MOSELEY

The ferry system is facing big challenges — aging boats, service interruptions, inadequate funding. Secretary of Transportation Paula Hammond has made it clear that my top priority is to overcome these obstacles and to restore public trust in the ferry system.

I consider this the ultimate career challenge, which is why I wanted this position. As I near the first 30-day mark as WSDOT assistant secretary of the Ferries Division, I am pleased to see that we are already making progress.

An open letter to the president
Jul 03 2008, 8:42 PM I see on the national news last night that you managed to add two more notches in your gun, number 3989 and number 3990. Congratulations. You have now managed to successfully murder a thousand more Americans than did the terrorists on 9/11. You may understand if I am no longer amoured by your arrogant Texas swagger or your chimpanzee smirk. Perhaps it’s because your number 3990 has left my daughter without a husband and her two young children without a father. Perhaps it’s because I hate to see a country as great as ours once was being run into the dirt by a bunch of old war mongering hypocrites whose, “The sky is falling” is the all inclusive answer. I also see that the vice president is touring Iraq declaring how much progress we are making. Perhaps he wouldn’t mind phoning my daughter and explaining that in more detail. Or perhaps there is no explanation for how a country can be run by a jingoistic nut case with no brain and still the sheep all follow along. You’ve managed to decay civil liberties to Joe McCarthy era levels, move the national debt from the black to almost a trillion in the red, and put the economy in a tank all in 7 years, quite an accomplishment. This is not to mention how many Iraqis have died for your sins or how a country has been destroyed. You done good, George. Somehow I think you’ll sleep right through number 4000.
