The National Weekly Atlasian

I object to the mischaracterization in this magazine of me as a member of a conservative bloc.

While you are a moderate in theory, your voting record would say otherwise. I never said it was a bad thing, though.

I suggest that you look at the actual legislation presented and my actual votes on that legislation. 

The bills I have voted against have been quite far-left in scope and big government in origin at the expense of the Regions.  The bills I have voted for have been moderate in scope and reasonable in construction.  There have been no right-wing bills in the Senate so far this term except DWTL's English-only bill and I am presently opposed to that.

I think you should rename your paper Atlasian Weekly.  I keep getting it confused with Colin's old outfit, the National Atlasian...

Doesn't Governor Fezzy get to appoint Phil's replacement?

That is correct.

Alexander Hamilton Enters Uncharted Waters

This week, Atlasian newbie Alexander Hamilton announced his intention to run for lieuteniant governor of the Pacific.  What is so unique about a race that otherwise would seem uninteresting?  Hamilton is the first member of the RPP to ever mount a run for office in the Pacific region.  Due a recent boost in numbers across the nation but also in the Pacific, Hamilton would seem to have a decent shot.  However, long-time powerhouse Atlasian, Ebowed, announced that he is in the race as well.  See as a JCP legend, it would appear Hamilton is certainly facing an uphill battle.  It is also yet to be seen whether or not Lt. Gov. Alcon will stay in the race with Ebowed a declared candidate.

Hamilton's quest to become the first non-JCP candidate to win in the Pacific since Torie won his senate election in June 2008, has been meeted by positive and negative reactions.  He has won the endorsement of his own party, along with nearly every member of the DA, including well-known RPP hater, HappyWarrior.  The only negative reaction seemed to come from released released from prison and a mental institution and perennial election loser Xahar, who claim that since he could not win the Pacific no one could. 

Much is yet to be seen in this race, but it, along with the Midwest governor's race appear to be the most exciting regional elections to be had this month.

SPC how can you allow him to post blatant slander in your reputable newspaper.  I don't have a problem with the RPP, just DWTL.

Libel is printed defamation, slander is spoken defamation.  You were looking for the first word.

Just FYI - anything I can do to increase the vocabulary of forumites.

My vote included only posters who I have either not deemed as idiots or annoyances (and honestly, one of them comes very close to being the former - you should know who you are).
