This is a hoot.
From the Seattle Times, August 9, 2004
Another fine member of Baghdad Jim McDermott's constituency. This
precious
individual and others like her have written virtually identical letters
to
the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer every year since the
Blue
Angels started performing at Seafair. Sometimes they also complain about
the
poor animals that must suffer from the fear and terror provoked by these
airplanes.
Mercer Island (pop. 22,500), of course, has always been one of the most
expensive neighborhoods in the Puget Sound region. Median household
income
in 2000 was $91,904. The median home was $573,900. It is almost 90%
white,
with most of the rest being Asian, blacks making up only 1%. Naturally,
it
is home to many of these spoiled rich kids who are very concerned about
how
America oppresses minorities and third world countries, even while they
enrich themselves in their cloistered and exclusive community.
The hypocrisy is enough to gag a maggot.
The submarine Olympia was scheduled to make a port call to
her home port city. The local left wing politicians saw fit
to label the attack sub "a publicly financed killing machine".
They then took a vote to neither endorse or disallow the
home port visit. The local tree huggers were also up in arms
over the "potential" hazards the nuclear powered sub would
present to the eco-system. They also demanded to know the
weapons load out of the boat. So it was pretty clear these
were the same breed of folk who think the Angels fly F-16's.
The Navy cancelled the port call.
What they should do is change the name of the sub and say
the hell with the liberal, left wing, scumbags living in
Olympia
The 'backwoods' Olympia City Counsel really 'stepped on themselves' over
that one.
