Heck of a Job, Brownies (Part 12 & Counting)

If I was a bear and a big bear too, I wouldn't care much if it froze or snew. But we're not Pooh-bears, we're Seattleites (and Seattlests), and the fact is, our city failed us, failed miserably last month. Ace-of-Grace Crunican, nominally in charge of Seattle streets, actually left town during the height of the storm. Spacey Kevin Desmond, nominally in charge of Metro, went ten days without phoning back to ask SDOT whazzup wid da snowplowz, guys? Clowns, all of them. Most of us came to Seattle because it's a decent place to live, drawbacks of climate aside. We put up with crappy weather half the year and year-round provincialism in exchange for clean air, clean water, clean government. We don't expect betrayal at the hands of incompetent bureaucrats.
