First, I would like to thank Tom for asking me to be part of his blog. It is an honor and one I hope I can live up to for both Tom and the readers. The biggest issue of late on this blog has been Wal-Mart and the scheming and conniving behavior of PARD. I thought a little levity on this damp and cold Tuesday might help us all get through the day.
Sung to the tune of Polly Wally Doodle All the Day
Oh, I went to Pullman, to do some shoppin’
Singin’ Pullman's a great place to live
But thanks to PARD
Wal-mart’s ground ain’t broke
Singin' People Against Retail Development
To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes
Oh, people cry and people whine
That’s all they print in the paper
How come they don’t investigate
PARD's cover-up petition
I will never know
To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes
Many thanks to Pullman City Council
For tryin’ to help Pullman grow
Many of us see change as good
And support the job you do
Singin' Pullman's a great place to live
To the bank, to the bank
Moscow laughs all the way to the bank
They got Wal-Mart and they got a mall
And all I got is high taxes
While some readers may think the song is silly, there is truth in it. It isn't any sillier than two PARD members telling me the best way to widen Pullman's tax base is to bring in a Target.

WELCOME aboard #1 yes a little laughter is nice. You bring up a good point how Moscow has the Mall & Wal-Mart and the Tax dollars from Pullman residents that they have gotten over the years must have helped them in lots of ways over the years. Which could helped us. Then you add to it all the people that live to the west of us Colfax, Dusty, Steptoe, St.John, Edtcott, Lacross, ect ect ect... We need to stop the leakage of tax dollars, the sooner the better.
Very funny SHW#1 Great job! You're right, the Wal-Mart issue has dragged on for a year now. We need to have a sense of humor.
God bless those PARDners. They just don't get it. I know from informed sources that Target is closely watching the Wal-Mart situation. If Wal-Mart comes, they will consider opening up in Pullman. If Wal-Mart is rejected, they won't touch us with a 10-foot pole.
