Mixed News: colors and letters

Just the point of TheLiaisonReport
Good News Sad News: Which came first the chicken or the sky is falling?

OK maybe I am mixing metophores or stretching the points to find a line, but HorsesAss.Org dropped this and I don't know if it is his scoop on The Scarlet Letter.

Sad news first: Washington State Senator Brian Weinstein will not be seeking a second term. He was a fiesty progressive.

Good news then: there will be an open race on the House side, because Republican Representative Fred Jarrett will run for Brian's Senate seat as a Democrat. He was a progressive Republican.

Kudos to Goldy for the punditry and analysis on this flip-flop, not to characterize any of them here. From my perspective maybe Fred was not a progressive Republican, he was probably D progressive Republican. That is my wisecrack for the night. I better save any personal sense of them for later.
