President Obama

It’s official, the Democrats have won in the greatest presidential landslide since 1992, proving once again that unless the country’s in a severe economic crisis, we don’t have a shot of winning this thing.  After eight solid years of mismanaged campaigns marked by inconsistent veiled messages, I was beginning to believe that pigs would need to grow wings to carry one of our boys (or Hillary/Pelosi) into the White House.  Instead, all it took was two wars, a broken economy, a hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast and a celebrity candidate.

Jessie (Robert “The Traveller”) Hill has filed a formal ethics complaint against Sheriff Paul Pastor, less than two weeks before the final day of the election. The complaint alleges that Sheriff Pastor failed to disclose $15,000 worth of in-kind contributions, including a $10,000 billboard and a $5,000 promotional ad in the Tacoma News Tribune.  The complaint, visible here, goes on to accuse Cascade Regional Blood Services of playing an inappropriate role in Pastor’s campaign.

Mr. Hill released the following statement:

First, this blood bank takes free blood from people and sells it at profit to hospitals; then, using their

law firm Shillito & Giske, who also gave money to Pastor, they take this profit and conveniently plan a

publicity campaign that coincides with the election season, from the first week of June to the last week

of September…I recommend that all individuals in Pierce county boycott this organization,

for the next six months!  They should just go direct to the hospital they want to support.

The Melon will report on more information as it becomes available.
