Also, the only party of WA that belongs to Canada maybe is Seattle. Some parts of Olympia. The rest of the state is a giant methlab/extension of Idaho/Eastern Oregon.

Hmmm... and did you notice that Phelps was doing a "bong" hit?

Does anyone know why he has an Anglo name even though he is Chinese?
(One of my Chinese American friends told me that most Chinese who emigrated to the West Coast in the mid-1800s adopted Anglo or Irish names (or even Jewish name) to avoid prejudice. In fact there are a lot of Chinese in San Francisco with the last name "Jew" strangely enough.

In the early 1900s, the town most populated almost excusively by Chinese immigrants. They ran the businesses, the politics, the theaters, etc, etc.
It's now essentially a ghost town, but I believe a bar called Al's is still running and if you ever venture into the Delta, it's well-worth a visit...really a place frozen in time.
Maybe his name has something to do with Locke, CA?

But what is it about this post and minority governors with amazingly election-friendly white-sounding names? Bobby Jindal should change his name to Bobby Smith, he'd be a shoo-in when it turns out Gary failed to pay his cable bill once in 1986.

Republicans are not opposing the stimulus bill because it's authored by Democrats they oppose it because it's not stimulus. The market has tanked since this thing came out no one likes this 1000 page piece of garbage because it's just a pay off to Democratic supporters just go read the damn thing or at least a summary.
And it's funny to hear liberals talk about being partisan and obstructionist, I wish there was as much of an outcry against partisanship and obstructionism when Harry Reid was saying the Iraq war was lost or Dem senators going with out permission to Syria to talk to Assad. Republicans are more than willing to work with Democrats and do want the administration to succeed because the administrations failure is Americas failure.
Before someone starts spouting off numbers about hoe 90% of some poll says we need to do something I agree we need to do something but 70% of those polled also agree that this bill is NOT stimulus and will destroy our currency. I'm probably being presumptuous seeing as how liberals don't like to use numbers if they don't make them feel good.
