1. Governor Gregoire took a trip to the north country to visit the deep bore tunnel in Vancouver, B.C., reports
Jim Camden on the Spokesman Review's Spin Control blog.
"The Washington delegation is seeking to learn firsthand about the multi-billion dollar transportation mega-project and what lessons can be learned as the state moves forward with the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement project," Camden wrote, quoting the governor's staff.
Noticeably missing from the Washington entourage, however, was Mayor Mike McGinn, the Seattle tunnel's worst enemy.
2. The Seattle Times has the complete wrap on the latest instance of heavy handed police action.
3. Today on PubliCola, we've been swarming all over tidbits about Clint Didier, the Tea Party challenger to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). We did miss this little tidbit, however, which Peter Callaghan caught and posted on TNT's Political Buzz blog: Didier told Nikki Reading at TVW that there is a clause in the health care reform bill that gives 3,000 military grade shotguns to the IRS, which will then use those weapons to enforce the bill. Man, Election 2010 is going to be great.
4. One must never forget the Slog: They've got Mary Traverse on pretty ladies' insides , Kelly O on British puppets, and Cienna Madrid making fun of old women's "pancake breasts."
