It seems harder and harder these days for me to find something meaningful to do that satisfies my sense of wanting to right a wrong.

However today, I found the perfect opportunity.

I lined the bottom of my parrot cage with the page (facing up) from this newspaper that had the “In Our Opinion” article supporting Tom Riggs in lieu of Barbara Bailey. I’m feeding this good bird every time it squawks.

How someone with even a lick of sense could write an article saying nothing more factual other than “Riggs is a family man with a message of change” and that he would “make a difference in Olympia” thereby deserving the Whidbey News-Times’ endorsement is completely beyond me.

Sure he’ll make a difference. He’ll add one more vote to the same miserable Democratic crew who believe in tax and spend, that budgets are just “targets,” and that rich guys or large successful corporations are demons who should give their all to the government so it can reallocate wealth to the downtrodden poor.

Riggs is a candidate with absolutely no credentials, other than to spout the liberal view of the author of this article.

I asked my wife why we continue to pay for this paper and she said that sometimes the calendar of events has something interesting. It’s for sure that the poorly thought out, unsupportable, liberal, political insights of the author of this article are not.
