Doug Clark: Excuse my language; a candidate needs praise

(COLUMNIST’S WARNING – Attention, kids! Today’s epistle is about a certain word that you hear from sailors on leave or at Vegas parties with naked Prince Harry. But we’ve replaced that word with words that sound naughty, but aren’t. So you’ll definitely want to make some notes and then go ask Mom and Dad to explain what everything means.) I’ve wasted a lot of hours over the years grousing about how politicians are such worthless (pricklouses) who never say what they mean.

Spin Control: Once-in-a-lifetime vote is a quadrennial event

If you haven’t heard this yet, you will soon. A politician will proclaim this the Most Important Election in your lifetime. Or in a generation. Or since World War II.

OLYMPIA – The fiscal note on the latest initiative requiring a supermajority in the Legislature for tax increases will remain in the state voters’ guide, even though it is different from a nearly identical initiative that passed in 2010, a judge ruled today.

Romney to be on fall ballot

OLYMPIA – Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be on Washington’s presidential ballot this fall because the Republican Party meets the rules for being a major party in the state, a Thurston County Superior Court judge ruled Monday. Judge Thomas McPhee denied a request by the state Libertarian Party to keep Romney’s name off the ballot, rejecting arguments that Republicans hadn’t complied with rules for nominating Dino Rossi as the official GOP nominee in the 2010 U.S. Senate race.
