You have to read this one… wow!

Politico.com got a hold of an e-mail exchange between the scheduler/office manager for Democratic Representative Jim McDermott from Washington and somebody that probably did not like being on the receiving end of an e-mail tirade.

Scheduler/Office Manager Elizabeth Becton made it very clear in a series of e-mails that she does not like the nickname “Liz”. We also learned Don’t-call-me-Liz Becton does not like people leaving messages for her, and we did learn she is human – she used the bathroom.

Wow!

Member of grunge band Nirvana "running" for office...

Member of grunge band Nirvana "running" for office... kind of. A number of media reports says Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic has filed to run for county clerk in Wahkiakim County, Washington (hundreds according to Google News). He's running on the "Grange Party" ticket. Doesn't sound familiar? It shouldn't it does not exist.

The Washington Post reports that Novoselic's run for office is a publicity stunt. One that's working. The publicity is to get attention for a Washington State law that allows candidates to file for whatever party they wish run under even fictitious parties. He's quoted in the Post article saying, "It's complicated. It confuses voters and it disenfranchises voters. And we should think about a settlement that speaks to the needs and values of Washington voters."

The report says Novoselic does not want to win, and even plans to vote for the incumbent. He'll resign if he wins.
