Smart Bombs: Tweet revenge

I haven’t twittered, but I have peered into the future. For me, it could be this:

tossed, turned all night.

Me: “Black coffee”. Them: “Want room?” Me: “For more black coffee?”

Brown’s sudden income tax = epic fail.

The Big Cigars. I’m not all that excited about an unenforced ban on smoking at parks. At my neighborhood park, I find the skateboarders who incorporate the picnic tables and bathroom roof a bigger nuisance. But I agree with former Spokane County Commissioner John Roskelley that it’s indefensible to exempt smoking on public golf courses, where more influential people hang out.

Just can’t be “business friendly” enough, I guess.

Taxing education. Gov. Chris Gregoire, after announcing the plan to allow a 28 percent hike in tuition at four-year colleges: “We’re giving them (students) a bargain. We shouldn’t apologize for the tuition in Washington state.”

Gregoire in 2006: “Washington’ s economic competitors are not Oregon, Colorado or California, but nations such as Norway, Korea, China and Sweden.”

In those countries, tuition is minimal or free. Here, the plan is to charge students increasingly exorbitant amounts to stay globally competitive. It’s like raising taxes on a product in hopes of increasing its sales.
