Nah - Brian Derdowski knew what was going to happen. This was right at
the end of two full days of gassing, and I thought it was a very nice
gesture to try to defuse the situation. He had little to lose - he'd
already lost the election last month. There's very few points to be
gained from his (soon to be former) constituents.

My better half disagrees: she was yelling at him whenever he tried to
talk to her!

Okay, quick quiz: What's Brian Derdowski's party affiliation?

Also negotiating was incoming Councilmember Judy Nicastro. She narrowly
won on a platform of renters rights and anti-Sidranization, and now
she's calling for SPD Chief Norm Stamper to resign. Very cool from a
former UW Student Government type. Nick Licata was nowhere to be seen
then, but he's done a lot of legwork both pre and post-WTO.

Sidranization: Seattle D.A. Mark Sidran's program of "civility laws"
intended to sanitize Seattle's streets for shoppers. Essentially a
little Giuliani.

I really wish I had studied law at school. Is there any way to be a
lawyer without going to law school? I have an itch to put some ants in
some of these folkses britches...
