**** Stefan Sharkansky of the soundpolitics.com blog, which has uncovered numerous irregularities in the Washington gubernatorial recounts, is the subject of a column by Robert Jamieson Jr. /Seattle P-I here . (I gave this **** because it’s a must-read for all bloggers and right-wing conspiracy theorists re. the Washington election.)

** David Horsey , the Pulitzer Price winning cartoonist from the Seattle P-I, had fun with Demo Christine Gregoire’s swearing in here .

*** A clever piece by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about the previously unwritten rules of baseball here .

* The Nez Perce water agreement threatens property rights, according to Frank Priestly/Idaho Farm Bureau Federation here . (High DBI factor = Dull but Important).

** Art Thiel /P-I (and one of the best sports columnists around) writes about the problems with the Seahawks front office here . (Would have received a higher rating but the Seahawks bore me.)

* The Seattle Times welcomes Demo Christine Gregoire to office here . (One star for covering the bases.)
