They are pro-growth when the issue involves Moscow, but then they will change sides and become allied with anti-growthers when Pullman or Whitman County tries to grow. I don't care one way or the other about how Mr. Connelly feels about Wal-Mart. However, when he jumps the border and starts personal attacks on Pullman officials and interjects himself into a decision that does not in any way involve him, I take great exception. His Daily News editorial attacks last year on Mark Workman, Fritz Hughes and Glenn Johnson were unconscionable.April E.

It was a silly little cartoon of them partying - Marx had a lampshade on his head, Stalin had a beer, etc. (I guess it was a "Communist Party"?)<BR/> <BR/>I'm still not sure if it was supposed to be a statement for or against the article I posted. My guess is that the anonymous taper intended it to be against, but wow did they ever make a bad pick for their cartoon rebuttal!<BR/><BR/>I say it was bad because they handed me an opportunity to lampoon them even more. I decided to have fun with the situation and "claim" the picture that was put up, rather than rip it down, so I fired up my printer and made a caption for it that is now taped over the bottom of the picture. It reads:<BR/> <BR/>"Collectivists: Partying on your dime and killing you if you disagree since 1867."<BR/> <BR/>No one has added anything else to my office door since then. Heh!Paul E.
