Viva La Cola!

Founded in January 2009, PubliCola is a blog about Seattle written by journalists who are dedicated to non-partisan, original daily reporting that prioritizes a balanced approach to news. Started by longtime local editor and award-winning reporter Josh Feit, PubliCola is the first online-only news site in state history to get media credentials to cover the state capitol.

PubliCola was off and running. In June 2009, PubliCola hired another award-winning journalist, super-sourced Seattle city hall reporter Erica C. Barnett.

People were afraid that blogging would change journalism. Instead, we believe journalism can change blogging. Twenty-first century journalism may look and feel different, and yes Erica isn't afraid to get cranky, but we're committed to making sure online news still delivers independent, reliable, even-keeled coverage. And most of all, we're committed to making sure the coverage sparks honest civic debate.

Bringing you cola for the people, PubliCola is named after Publius Valerius PubliCola, the alias for the authors of the Federalist Papers—the original bloggers.

The first online-only news site in state history to get media credentials to cover the state capitol and Seattle city hall, PubliCola has been called a “must-read” by the Seattle Post Intelligencer and a hot “New Media Mover and Shaker” by Seattle Magazine—which also cited our own Erica C. Barnett as the city's No. 1 news nerd.

“Lynch Patty Murray, Geld Obama”

So this isn’t exactly crime, but I just can’t get enough of this Teabagger craziness. Also, I’m reasonably sure threatening to lynch Patty Murray and de-ball the president is probably on the Secret Service’s list of Don’ts.

    I wonder how many of those elderly white people are or will soon be responsible for even greater spending in health care. I wonder why we don’t see tax protests from elderly white people in other countries: could it be because their tax structures, although tax rates may be higher, gives their citizens what they need? Are the citizens relying on themselves rather than corporate donations to send representatives to legislate? Or is it because the U.S. thinks it is the only country with boo-hoo high tax rates, or is it because the government that’s inherited the debt isn’t escalating it so much in favour of letting other people’s children and grandchildren die in a foreign desert? The old people can remember Eisenhower- and Kennedy-era tax tiers, and now that those tiers aren’t so high, they’re protesting?

    Not exactly crime? Try not remotely crime. It’s not exactly interesting, nor is it relavent to Seattle. I would also say that Jonah could have added a little more detail, if it was worth reporting. Old Americans usually like to complain about their taxes (even some of the non-white ones). Why is Christina Foreigner complaining about their taxes?

    It’s also my blog so I’ll post whatever I damn well please. Thanks for playing.

    I am pretty sure that urging people to mutilate a Black man is a crime, especially if said Black person is the president of the United States. Haven’t we had enough lynching of Black men in this country. I can’t understand why White Republicans are so violent and hateful towards President Obama if it isn’t racially motivated. No matter what Democrats said about Bush, no one EVER avocated mutilating his body. This proves that White Republicans are the socio-political reincarnations of the demonic hate-mongering lynch mobs that burned Black men and women alive and who then mutilated their genitalia. Just so you know…

    Last I checked, Obama (with Bush) literally handed $11 trillion in your taxpayer money over to private corporate interests. Why not take a moment to reflect and ultimately contemplate what kind of crime may have been committed by doing such a thing?

    In addition, Obama is illegally the chair of the UN security council. A US president cannot hold two offices at the same time. Also contemplate this crime.

    Tea Party supporters are pro-Constitution. If you are dumb enough to attack someone who stands up for your legal rights and freedoms, perhaps you are too stupid to discuss politics on your blog.

    I would imagine you are one of those Einsteins walking around who loves fiat currency and will do anything to support an obviously corrupt government because your TV convinced you to do so.

  • EDUCATED Patriotism

    I came across your comment and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, but the laughter quickly turned to tears as I realized uneducated, ethnocentric, confused Americans like you actually DO exist. Let me explain a few things to you, my homely friend…

    Obama (with Bush) handed $11 trillion of taxpayer money to private corporate interests? Where did you get this from? This is ENTIRELY false and baffling you would even purport such an outrageous claim without any premise. The only thing I could even remotely gues you might be trying to refer to is the $11 trillion national debt we have ($10.9 trillion which is exactly the number inherited by Obama’s administration from Bush BEFORE he even had a chance to pass ANY legislation). This number has NOTHING to do with Obama’s administration and is irrelevant to private corporate interests really… do you wish to know what the $11 trillion dollars is my homely friend?…

    …Let me give you a little history lesson because you obviously suffer from a severe lack of knowledge which has left you intellectually incapacitated and confused;

    The United States has ran a national debt since it’s INCEPTION during the Revolutionary War. The first yearly reported value of which was $75 million in 1791. The $11 trillion debt we have now is a debt we have incurred over the past 234 years.

    If you were actually concerned about power being given to private corporate interests you should be outraged at the recent Supreme Court decision to allow private corporations to spend without limit in our elections. The conservative majority Supreme Court basically handed our national elections over the private interests. But I wouldn’t expect you to know much less care about this.

    Obama is the chair of the UN Security Council, and you are right, the US President cannot hold two government offices at the same time. Now, I don’t know which level of education you decided to drop out of the public school system, but the UN Security Council chair is not a government office, and the United Nations is not a government. It is an international ORGANIZATION.

    These teabaggers are not pro-Constitution. I suspect the majority of them are much like yourself, they mostly come from rural areas, are uneducated and incapable of understanding much less discussing political science. They know basically nothing of their own movement or what they are really protesting. They seem unconcerned with anything to do with political science and are much more interested in making ridiculous irrelevant claims and pushing aggressive ignorance. The movement was actually started by Limbaugh’s claim that Democrats were excessively using earmark spending (not true, in fact Republicans have been earmark spending much more in the past 5 years) and the wonderful FoxNews organized majority of the protests.

    If it wasn’t for your aggressive ignorance I would just pity your lack of knowledge and naive disposition without saying anything. But you decided to “set the record straight” and “inform” others of your “knowledge” of politics, thus I couldn’t help myself.

    Ignorance gets some comeuppance!! These people don’t want to be informed. Willful ignorance is the cancer that will kill this country. Poorly educated ignorant masses being used by private corporate interests to forward and agenda that they have neither the intelligence level nor the desire to understand.
