From the "Since you asked..." file.

Andrew's fuming over the Legislature's response to the ruling tossing out the I 747 property tax cap (for all y'all in the hinterlands, they've gathered in special session to reinstate the cap, first proposed by his (ok, by every thinking person's) arch-nemesis, Tim Eyman.), and House Speaker Frank Chopp's effort to balance the current heresy with his list of previous progressive deeds...

Instead of responding to Initiative 747 by presenting a progressive vision that incorporates innovative ideas for fixing our broken tax structure, Chopp enthusiastically and proudly embraced the right wing agenda.

And now he's telling the netroots and the grassroots that we should be pleased with all of Olympia's wonderful accomplishments?

Since you asked, sure. We should be pleased with any "wonderful accomplishments," but we shouldn't settle for Chopp's list of 50, or for the next 50 that come up.

We should never settle. We should always agitate, shake the system and demand what we really want.

More.

And better.

That doesn't mean "better than nothing" is nothing, though, so sure. Be pleased, be absolutely delighted with every real gain, every incremental advance toward social, civil and economic justice.

Go ahead and celebrate. But don't settle.
