The candidate forum this evening was a good one. It will be much better on Btv10 as it is rebroadcast many times this month. For the live audience, the two TV cameras were really in the way. Check the Btv10 schedule . The forum will first run this Saturday at 1 pm and will repeat for several weeks at several other times and days. The schedule is posted in the top right column. It will also at some point be available for viewing online at the city website - if you have a broadband internet connection.

I will be posting comments here but I realized during the forum this evening that the best service I could give would be a junkie's guide to watching the video of the debate. More comments later.

The Herald finally prints Barbara Rofkar's letter in Thursday morning's paper - although Scott edited it down to take out some of the sting that Barbara directed at the Herald. She said it was a "racist cartoon" but Scott, of course, has her say "... a cartoon I believe is racist." There were quite a number of edits - which also deleted some of her words. I was provided with a copy of the original. The Herald misplaced the letter, delayed, lost it and finally printed it after Barbara continued to request it. I'd post the cartoon but the Herald has warned me about their stuff. It was run at the time the Herald was bragging about how there is no racism in Bellingham any more. They don't have a clue. The racism is in Bellingham and also in the pages of the Herald.

So, delay works again for the Herald. The cartoon was pulled from their website and you have probably long ago tossed out the paper from almost three weeks ago. Not much chance anyone will know what she is writing about.
