Mayor Ed Murray

By Mona Goldwater, Social Mores Ed.

In the 90's, the press published graphic descriptions of The President's private parts based on depositions and news reports. With our Mayor, we now have a callback to those days. Read the article from The Washington Post here.

• Sky and The Family Stone
• Cream
• The Doors
• The Animals
• The Yardbirds
• The Rascals

A documentary is on the way:

Ramtha, via J.Z. Knight, comes out in support of President Trump

By Mona Goldwater, Paranormal Ed.

Who, quietly in December, and now very publicly, has come out in support of President Trump? None other than Yelm, Washington's 35,000-year-old warrior Ramtha (via his channeler J.Z. Knight). 

Ramtha predicts that the 45th President will receive a honor guard of UFOs while flying in his jet: "The first time he looks out the window … when he sees two silver disks as escort, he is going to know it all — and this is a man who is not afraid — he is going to know it all.' "

Poem: The Painting (with illustration)

Poem by Jack Brummet,
Illustration by Jack Brummet

The figure you brushed in,
Stuck under static skies,

Wants off the canvas.
He will not be your Man With Blue Banjo anymore.

He wants to be what he will be,
Not sailing scumbled seas

Under impasto thunderheads.
He is tired of the dark sun

And wants to lie down and rest.
No news comes from a far country.

The real estate around him —
A confabulation of blue and red stone —

Chills in an un-harbored sea.
The black sun was pushed, fell, or jumped,

To shine back upon itself.
He knows the sun will never set.

He cannot open his mouth to scream.
The oars will never move.

The island of color
Will always be eight inches away

And the boat
Will always be sinking.

The tattered sails hang in the wind.
The next day refuses to begin.

He clutches the blue banjo
As the ship tilts toward heaven.

Seattle's massive tunneling machine, Bertha, breaks through the wall

The (formerly) world's largest tunnel-drill machine Bertha broke through its final rock just before 11:30 a.m. today (after years of delays).

From The Seattle Times:

Bertha began tunneling on July 30, 2013. It’s expected to finish on April 4. That’s about 1,345 days, or about 32,280 hours. The machine traveled about 9,270 feet (1.755682 miles) over that period, which puts its speed at about 0.00005438915 mph. 

For comparison, garden snails travel at a rate of speed more than 10 times faster (0.000621371 mph or 1 meter/hour), according to a British researcher.
