Podcasting Liberally in Seattle (audio)

David Goldstein "moderates" Seattlepi.com’s Joel Connelly, Group News Blog publisher Jesse Wendel, Effin’ Unsound’s & Horsesass’s Carl Ballard, and Drinking Liberally Seattle co-host Chris Mitchell, audio (37:01). They discuss the "mean, selfish, elderly-hating, antisocial" budget coming out of Olympia and what can/should/might be done about it, as well other political news of the day. They extend an invitation to House Speaker Frank Chopp to attend next month's gathering. Tonight, Goldstein is beating the drum for a "high-earners income tax."

It's Baaaaaack........."Podcasting Liberally - March 18th, 2008" (audio)

Podcasting Liberally - Seattle:

We had so much fun (and perhaps, beer) at Drinking Liberally Tuesday night, that I haven't gotten around to posting the podcast until Thursday.

Joining me (Goldy) in our typically insightful and inciteful evening of drunken discourse were Chris, Carl, Lynn and Seattle P-I columnist Joel Connelly. Topics of discussion include Barack Obama's possibly historic speech on race, Hillary Clinton's gender problem, Darcy Burner's "Responsible Plan" to end the war in Iraq, Rep. Dave Reichert's ridiculous flip-flop on earmarks, and the teetering state of the national toilet economy.

The show is 53:21, and is available here as a 48.8 MB MP3.

Howie P.S.: Of particular interest today is Joel Connely's riffing on Rev. Wright, Jake Tapper and Tim Russert and the so-called "main stream media."
