SOOTHSAYER: Beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR: What man is that?
BRUTUS: A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR: Set him before me; let me see his face.
CASSIUS: Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
CAESAR: What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again.
SOOTHSAYER: Beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR: He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass.
-- Julius Caesar - Act I, Scene II
The Ides of March 2006 bring a triple witching for supporters of free enterprise and growth on the Palouse.
PARD has just announced yet another appeal of the Pullman Wal-Mart Supercenter project.
The Moscow City Council is set to appeal the Hawkins Companies development in the Pullman-Moscow Corridor by Friday.
The Moscow Planning & Zoning Commission last week denied the request to rezone 77 acres for a Wal-Mart Supercenter there.
But do not despair and be of stout heart. Another verse from the Bard of Avon seems appropriate here:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
--Henry V - Act III, Scene I
Or in the words of another great Englishman:
Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
--Winston Churchill

We are almost at the end. Just like the death penalty convict has the legal right of appeal, so does PARD. We have won every step of the way, just as we predicted. PARD has the legal right to appeal but their rights don't make them right. Our city, our tax dollars and free enterprise must prevail. The law is on our side and we will win.
