Wild Card/Monday — 4.29.12

Coeur d'Alene Held Hostage, Day 27: I've waited almost 4 weeks for a Recaller to come courtin' my vote -- and when he did ... it was someone I knew: Jim Hollingsworth. Who had just pounded a John Green for sheriff sign into my neighbor's yard. Jim wandered over to ask which sheriff's candidate I was supporting. I ignored that and pointed to his "RecallCDA" button, stating: "I certainly don't support your position on the recall." We talked amiably for a few minutes, agreeing to disagree on the recall. Then, Jim said, we don't agree on anything. I responded, "Coeur d'Alene is a beautiful town." Jim: "You're right." DFO: "See, we agree on something." Now for your first Wild Card of the work week ...
