<font color=brown> Here's one of your good GOP buds up here in WA State. In Arkansas, they may consider him honest and full of integrity but up here we consider him a loser. Do you think the GOP will run him for office? He has a honest face! ;~)<font color=black> ************************************************** Eyman solicits salary fund despite failing to qualify for ballot 01:38 PM PDT on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 Associated Press OLYMPIA, Wash. - Tax rebel Tim Eyman is urging backers to contribute to a salary fund, despite failing to qualify his group's latest initiative for the second year in a row. The pay fund is to be shared with his two co-chairmen, Jack and Mike Fagan of Spokane. Eyman also has been paying himself $3,100 a week to spearheading a separate initiative that is largely bankrolled by non-tribal gambling interests. Eyman told supports in an e-mail Tuesday that he and his co-chairmen have been fighting for lower taxes for seven years and that the setback with Initiative 864 won't deter the anti-tax movement. Eyman said he and the Fagans can't afford to keep working on tax initiatives without pay. It's the second year in a row Eyman has solicited a salary fund. Last year, critic Christian Sinderman called Eyman the state's highest-paid panhandler. king5.com

From G.W. Bush country............... ******************************************************** Our Opinion: Real desperado Tucson Citizen When Linda Ronstadt's dulcet tones veered out of music and into politics, concert-goers at the Las Vegas Aladdin went ballistic - and so did the the hotel-casino manager. Tucson's own velvet-voiced Ronstadt was about to launch into "Desperado" when she opined that filmmaker Michael Moore is "a great American patriot ... who is spreading the truth" with his new documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11." Many listeners disagreed vehemently; others cheered Ronstadt's comments. But Aladdin President Bill Timmins had Ronstadt escorted off the property and vowed she never would sing at the Aladdin again during his tenure. The hotel-casino is a private entity; its managers can hire or remove whomever they choose. The booting of Ronstadt did not violate her right to free speech. But it did constitute one of the worst public relations moves imaginable. People love or hate Moore, but almost everyone savors Ronstadt's music. A more circumspect reaction would have been wise. tucsoncitizen.com
