After a long absence and letting the original Crackhole.com domain expire, I'm back with a new blog. The Crackhole v3.0
» The RSS is active there and it has a substance survey that my wife is doing as a personal project for school to get a better understanding of different opinions and views and personal experiences. Nothing too heavy mind you. You can post responses anonymously there if you're so inclined. I've missed OlyBLog and after a year in Oly, I just discovered Buck's 5th ave ( talk about a DUH moment!) and have been spending a ton of time in Capitol Forest working on clean up projects, both personal and with others and biking like mad. Cheers all!

I'd love to speak with someone who does not believe that FOX News is an unapologetic propaganda ministry for the Republican Party, and hear what they think about things like this.

My daughter and I just got back from a between nap visit of the World Can't Wait protest at the Capitol campus. It's currently a little smaller than I am hoping for, but people are singin', signs are up in the air and the atmosphere is good. We'll be back later after some napping has been accomplished. I'm really hoping that as the afternoon marches on more and more people will add their heads to this crowd.

I just got a call from Seattle's "World Can't Wait" march in Capital Hill (Seattle neighborhood). Turns out that three people from Oly just got arrested by the Seattle Police Department. The SPD officer #6620, M. Hyra, decided that an anarcho-syndicalist flag is fair game for theft. When the three men objected, they were each thrown to the ground and arrested. Guess it's going to be a long day in Seattle! There's a call for jail solidarity at the East Precinct in Cap Hill.
» Names of the arrested are known, but unpublished at this time pending legal advice on its potential effect in pending, unrelated cases. Shouts to Uncle Jessie, Trotsky, and Jake.
