Seattle Farmers Markets

By Seattle.net Staff
Farmers

The Farmers Markets in Seattle are a grassroots farm-to-market tradition. They have been a part of Seattle for decades, the earliest beginning in 1907. Locals have been making a living selling products for years, varying from baked goods, local wines, wild fish, fresh berries and produce from both sides of the Cascades. The intimate face-to-face interaction of urban citizens with the rural farmers is the catalyst that enables this exchange to continue.

John McCain took the bold step yesterday of suspending his campaign so he could focus on the economic crisis. Cool. I think everyone with any potential to effect change should be focusing on the economy right now.

"It is a tale...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."   -- Macbeth, Act V John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate is a brilliant move. Why? Because Republican strategists are aware of a big weakness in the Democratic Party: that just a hint of hypocrisy and the use of buzz words like "creationism", "abstinence only education", "pro-gun" and "staunchly pro-life" will reliably send liberals scrambling for their soapboxes, ready to condemn with moral outrage and scorn. Meanwhile, they've seemingly forgotten the compelling message they've spent months crafting and honing, and in their self-righteous fury, risk providing juicy sound bites to be used against them later in the campaign. That's right. Sarah Palin is such a stunningly bad choice for VP that it might actually improve McCain's chances of claiming the White House in November.

Complaints about a liberal media bias aren't a new phenomenon. Right-wing talk show hosts and conservatives have long lamented that the major news outlets have a leftward slant and that it took an upstart Fox News to provide us, finally, with The Truth. This election cycle is no different. Republicans and Fox News anchors have complained that the coverage of the candidates has been unfair. First, they were angry that the Clinton-Obama battle was being covered much more than John McCain was, and the claim continued after Obama shored up the Democratic nomination. Now, they're calling Obama the 'Media Darling', citing, for example, the journalistic frenzy to cover the Obama World Tour – leaving McCain in a relative press limbo. In terms of sheer hours of coverage, it does seem likely that Obama has had more screen time than Mccain, and I think there are several reasons for this.

We all knew that withdrawing from Iraq would be part of the rhetoric for this campaign. But, what does it really mean in dollars and cents?

It's a nice concept on paper - taking advantage of our own resources to reduce dependence on the Middle East. Gas prices theoretically make it easy to use oil as a talking point on the campaign trail, but it's doubtful that the majority of Americans are really that stupid.

Senator Barack Obama has a tough fight ahead of him. In addition to running against Senator McCain, he also has to run against what I like to call the Invisible Candidate. The Invisible Candidate appears to be non-partisan, and we've seen the effects of it in comments like Geraldine Ferraro's ("If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position"), during the West Virginia and Kentucky primaries, and on the lips of the Fox "Osama-oops-Obama" anchors week after week.

All during the Dem primary, beyond the race/gender rhetoric, there was the whisper about the age gap between Clinton and Obama. If that was a gap, the difference between Obama and McCain can only be compared to the Grand Canyon.

Now that Clinton officially backs Obama, it's time to start looking forward to November. But first, a tiny look back, if only to evaluate possible damage from the primary.

A recent McCain ad features a voiceover pronouncing McCain the "the American president Americans have been waiting for." Perhaps I'm reading too much into this ad. Perhaps it's meant simply to highlight McCain's service to our country. But I don't think so. Why include the descriptor "American" before the word "president"? Haven't all of our presidents been American? The implication is that his opponent - let's assume this will be Obama - is un-American by comparison. It's simply an appeal to the people who think that McCain's military history makes him more of a real American than that guy with the weird name, Hussein something-or-other.
