I'd have kept it a secret, too.

Regarding the recent court ruling involving the Washington State gubernatorial election, my favorite quotes from from the last few days were when Judge Bridges chastised the King County Elections Commission with, “Almost anyone who works in state or local government knows exactly what this culture is . . . It’s inertia, selfishness. It’s taking our paychecks, but not doing the work. It’s not caring about either our fellow workers or the public we are supposed to serve. It’s not taking responsibility. It’s refusing to be held accountable,” and when Dino Rossi took his own swipe at the election commission with, "I do agree with the judge that nobody's been fired and nothing has changed. Moving everybody to a new building isn't election reform," cleverly mocking the recent proposal to relocate King County's elections operations into a new and more spacious digs, essentially rewarding the elections office for doing a less than competent job overseeing the last election.

Meanwhile, Gregoire has wasted no time in presenting the Washington electorate with only just the first of what will undoubtedly transmogrify into an extensive laundry list of wasteful and dubious schemes: outsourcing aspects of public education to Mexico, which ranks last among major nations in educational achievement.

Lord, help us.

Is it any wonder that, less than a year into her stint as governor, she already ranks near the bottom of the list of approval ratings for all 50 U.S. governors?

Words of wisdom. I especially like #9.
