The post referred to on this morning’s post was not - not - by Carl Weimer. It was by someone who posted what they hoped would irritate me enough to lash out at Carl - someone just trying t

Rubber stamp city council for finance director approval

Rubber stamp city council for finance director approval. Barb Ryan spoke in a broken manner about how it would be good if council had more knowledge or participation before approving these

Our newspaper of record just makes the record disappear

By John Servais · Sun Dec 16, 2007

Poof. Gone. The Bellingham Herald has deleted yesterday’s front page headline story from its list of local news stories online. Yep - the other front page stories are still on the local news - but not

Racism is alive and healthy

By John Servais · Sat Dec 15, 2007

A racist headline in today’s Herald - but they don’t have a clue. The news is the Northwood Casino finally got their liquor permit - which they should have had long ago. But the Herald hypes the issue

Is a New Solar Cycle Beginning?

By John Servais · Fri Dec 14, 2007

Is a New Solar Cycle Beginning? This is on NASA’s site and has strong credibility. You won’t find this article on a Google news search. I’ll continue to watch this and post on it. We will be reading a

Of treaties, phones and sunspots

By John Servais · Thu Dec 13, 2007

Some items that I think are neat or news and which will perhaps impact us a lot in the near future.

Judge finds WWU acted illegally

Western Washington University administrators - starting with President Karen Morse - have been abusing their power for years. Below is an example. This article first appeared in slightly different for

Winter solstice wonders

By John Servais · Sun Dec 9, 2007

A little lightness for the weekend may be nice. While most ‘blogs’ include a lot of personal introspection and personal involvement in the posts, this web site has not indulged in that. I’ve not even

District-only voting

By John Servais · Fri Dec 7, 2007

Perhaps all voters in all thirteen western states should vote for our two Washington State Senators to the US Congress. That way, they will represent all of the West and not just our rainy area. And a

International Justice Clinic

By John Servais · Thu Dec 6, 2007

Do we Americans believe in human rights? Do we believe that “all” are equal and have rights as our Declaration of Independence says we believe - or only citizens of the United States? Wednesday this w

Chuckanut Mountains Park District

By John Servais · Tue Dec 4, 2007

The proposed Chuckanut Mountains Park District issue is alive and perking. I’m adding a link - in the right column - to their website. And also listed is the North Sound Conservancy, the organi

Websites covering local issues

By John Servais · Mon Dec 3, 2007

It is so nice to have several websites covering local issues. The past few days I’ve just not even thought of posting and have enjoyed checking other sites. As new local voices have gone online

Bellingham Herald editorial ethics

By John Servais · Thu Nov 29, 2007

A quick check of the below letter to the Herald website shows 76 comments have been posted. Me thinks this partially explains why the Herald prints and posts a letter that endorses murder. The Herald

Compliments to the Indy

By John Servais · Mon Nov 26, 2007

News? The Whatcom Independent tells us that, yes, the city council did pass the Samish Neighborhood plan last Monday. We waited all week for the Herald to tell us - but nada. Is it still news if the H

Wounded veterans

By John Servais · Fri Nov 23, 2007

20,000 Iraq & Afghan veterans with brain injuries are not counted as wounded by the Pentagon. Charming. Not surprising. USA Today has the report in today’s issue. Very nice to see investigative report

Seriously wounded wallets, too
