And I believe that technically Karachi has passed Mumbai, being the first to reach 13 million (though they do it with a huge footprint where Mumbai is really compact).

I think I am going to quit while I still have some dignity left.

Ah, Scoop Jackson and Warren Magnuson - those were the days for this state. Rumor is we're approaching that level of influence again.

As a current Snohomish County resident, maybe I should reconsider my aversion to starting out in the prosecutor's office....

Yep, Senator and almost President....not too shabby.

Prudence, if you're at all interested Manuscripts in the basement of Suzzallo holds Magnuson's papers.

I spent a lot of time in them for thesis on Boeing's labor relations and found it really interesting.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if/when Saddam is executed?
And I the only one who is a wee bit concerned about the [probable] aftermath of said executation and a possible attack on US soil? No, I am not going to hide - but I am a bit concerned.

So which is it, do you care or not? Personally, I doubt there will be much backlash against Americans beyond troops getting caught in the crossfire. Most of the hate in that particular struggle is directed inward at each other.

I didn't express my thought well.

I don't care if/when he is (for all I care he could rot in jail; but I could see potential hostage situations of release Saddam or we kill everyone), but I am concerned about the aftermath and our troops being caught in it. The entire world doesn't see this as a legitimate trial by the Iraqi's. There is still a belief that America was pulling the puppet strings.
