For many Seattle residents, the Death With Dignity Initiative (I-1000) gets a heartfelt, fairly immediate vote of approval. P-I columnist Joel Connelly is not so sure. Today's paper includes Connelly's long-ish rant about I-1000 supporters' misguiding ads on the radio, and he awards the initiative his "Sheer Gall Award" for its advertisements' "anti-Catholic" "landslide of distortions." We suggest you read his fact-checks and decide for yourself.

I think that all I need to see is the combination of "Connolley", "longish", and "rant" to know that I don't need to click that link. Actually, the first of those three is probably sufficient.
Seconded.
I'm a little annoyed that I read the whole thing, myself, so I don't blame you.
I was about to send that over to you guys but then I didn't think I could actually form an entire email. Just shocking jibberish asking how this is worth printing.
For feck sakes, I'm all for rants, but this wasn't even interesting.
And honestly, I've seen more gall in this election.
Yeesh, it's just sad.
Okay, I've read this article a total of three times throughout today and I still don't see Connelly is trying to infer here... that the money used to promote this initiative could have paid for hospice care?
Well no fucking shit. So could have all the money raised for every election or ballot measure paid for something.
If you open the gate of "well that could have been spent here", expect a flood. It's a fallacy of an argument that nobody with a journalism class under their belt should make. Or a debate class. Or logic class. Or writing class.
That's third grade, playground gibberish.
If that's what he's trying to infer.
