Somebody who reads here, or posts here, knows something about this heinous crime.  It's absolutely cowardly.  You losers and morons keep on keeping on.  One day it will catch up with you.  If you have any information surrounding these events I hope you'll do the right thing and contact OPD.

Vandals strike Olympia councilman's downtown business

Kingsbury has done a 180 on Camp Quixote - many of us have, including me.  He's not on record (that I can find) when it comes to the controversial rezone.  So, what's really at the root of this vandalism?

UPDATE:  NAG's Internet post mentioned in the above article.  NAG == Not Another Group

We all know the limits.  Enjoy...

Don't read this if you are easily offended by sexual content.  Too funny to pass up!

A vacationing penguin is driving his through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on.  He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor.  He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.

After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town.  He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot.  He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat.  Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers.  After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem.  The mechanic looks up and says "It looks like you blew a seal."

"No no," the penguin replies, "it's just ice cream."

Please, just a discussion.  We won't pick the president here.  Use your vote instead.


What's wrong with Hilary?  I was starting to come around to her (not saying she gets my vote over McCain) and then this from the debate last night:

Moderator:  Do you think Senator Obama can beat Senator McCain?

Hilary:  Yes, yes, yes - I think he'd win. [paraphrased]

Why?  Why not take this opportunity to say, "No, I don't think he can win," and leave it at that?  When pressed (you will be), talk POLICY!!!  Would've been a smart move to get some undecided vote decided.

Instead we spend most of the debate talking about how they've messed up in the past 2 weeks.  Weird.  No wonder people don't get more involved.  I don't like that we have pundits moderating.  Seems like the wrong group of people focused on the things that turn me off to politics at this level.

On a lighter sadder note, one for the vault.  President Bush, while hosting the British PM Gordon Brown in Washington D.C. today, said:

"And so ah, so long as I'm the President, my, my measure of success is victory... and success."

10 months.  10 months.

I know we have quite a few students that visit Olyblog.  Microsoft just launched a new program to give students professional-level developer and design tools at no charge!

Microsoft DreamSpark


Who can get this right now?
We are kicking this off in 11 countries/regions, giving DreamSpark to millions of students in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Germany, France, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium. If you are not residing in one of the countries listed keep checking back, we will be adding more countries throughout the year.

Does that mean that I might not get in?
Possibly, if you are not residing in one of the countries listed, not attending an accredited university or not a member of one of the student organizations that we're connected with. But keep checking back, as we're working on adding more ways to verify your student status all the time.

What do I have to do to get this software?  Not much really, just select a product and follow the steps below.

I have two this week.  Please share.  It's nice to come home from work after a long week and read funny silly stuff.  And no Michael Jackson jokes - I have kids!

What do Hilary Clinton and Winter have in common?

Both have overstayed their welcome.

What is brown and sticky?

A stick.

I'll move this to OlyNews.net when it's up.  We should call it ON and use this logo.  Maybe. =)

Capital warming upOLYMPIA, Wash. -- The Olympia Bears boys soccer team (6-1) beat the Capital Cougars 2-1 Monday night in a Narrows League game featuring two of the league's top teams.

Capital (3-3) scored their lone goal from 6 yards out during injury time in the first half. Not to be outdone, Olympia's balanced midfield game was the difference in the second half resulting in two easy head-ball goals. The second goal slid by the Cougar keeper on the near post after a corner kick. The near post defender was nowhere to be found.
