1. We think Jan Drago has done her polling. We think she found that Nickels numbers suck. Suck.  We think she's been taking time off work this week to meet with supporters. We think some of her business pals have pledged some money. We think the  four term City Council Member Haagen Dazs shop small business owner has decided to run for mayor.

2. We got a very nice letter this morning: 

Great job on this news venue. I appreciate the National and Olympia legislative stuff the best. You folks are filling a real void in Washington State guv news .

Not to mention the less caustic commentaries on your blog. The other news blogs seem to revel in the 'pie in your face ' journalism, which may be somewhat entertaining, but gets tedious. Keep up the good work.
