I question why O’Brien is still in the race after having stated to an endorsement panel that I will not name, that he would bow out of the race if “a person of color” were to enter. Enter Bobby Forch. First, why would anyone say that? Second, why would anyone say it, and then not do it. Makes me wonder what else he is willing to say, but not willing to do.

I may be an angry person, but Dan Bertolet is prejudiced, and his blog reflects it.

Moralizing asside. I do like HAC. I just don’t like posts about how:

1) Black people should be cherished and their culture should be saved and how quaint and beautiful it is. But they smoke crack and live in gangs and should get the hell out of the inner city neighborhood me and others like me are invading.

2) You should vote for some random politician or another because he “gets” environmentalism/density/whatever.

3) We’re all doomed!

The rest of the posts are brilliant.

I work at microsoft, but what does that matter to you? Mind your own business.

First, now you’re lying. Comment thing clearly says will not be published. If you go around exposing the mail addresses and IP addresses of people who say things you don’t like, that says a hell of a lot more about you than you’re going to learn from me. Get off your high horse once in a while.

Second, if you really give a shit, I’m a 33 year old half black/half jewish man who has lived in the CD my entire life. I went to Seattle U for undergrad (Architecture) and the UW for a masters in urban planning, and yes, now I work at Microsoft.

Enough information for you Dan?

Hey there Max, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself? You seem like a fascinating guy with lots of highly sophisticated opinions. Your mail server is at microsoft.com, is that where you work? A real brain trust, so I hear.

Max @ 13: But, you take the time to read it and to comment.

I bet you secretly agree with all of it and that you will find yourself voting for O’Brien.

And, like all of us loyal fans, I bet you adore Dan and all his wisdom and humor.
