So, uh, LIARS Larson is registered in Washington, ri-i-ight?? (Or does he not vote and not count at all.)
Oh, he's not going to li-i-ike this. Though, gosh, LIARS says again and again and again, that the Act of PATRIOT (P.rison A.ll T.he R.ightwingers I.ncriminated O.f T.reason) has not impinged on his liberties one single solitary eensy teensy little bit.
Anybody got a google map?
How about if there is a crowd outside his door blocking the street, with video cameras, when LIARS wants to leave for work ... is that any loss of liberty?
What is LIARS worried about if he has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide?
Heck, Brandon Mayfield did nothing wrong and had nothing to hide and he got million$ out of false arrest and being abducted hostage by FBI.

Piece o' cake.

It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that the State of Washington has posted my address AND birthday on the web. Whitepages.com will fill in the missing number in the address. And, for example, all it takes to get my medical records is my name and my birthday, with my address thrown in if the clerk is suspicious. Bye bye HIPPA. Shame on their ignorant selves; they should know better.
It also gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that the two of you, while being good caring people, and while decrying the database, would choose to call attention to any individual just because you don't agree with his politics. Shame on you. Tonight you go to bed without super.

Tenskwatawa, I hope Lars pops your Head like a Zit with the front Wheel of his H1 Hummer as you try to block his way to work.
Posted by meg | April 4, 2008 7:28 AM
Posting Larson's address and info. is perfect. Well done!!
Posted by jimbo | April 4, 2008 7:50 AM
You know, I wouldnt be surprised if Tensk was the one who got arrested for stalking Lars & his wife a while back. He seems to be pretty infatuated with him.

Centers Tap Into Personal Databases, by Robert O'Harrow Jr, The Washington Post, April 2, 2008.
Intelligence centers run by states across the country have access to [character assassination, life-ending] personal information about millions of Americans, including unlisted cellphone numbers, insurance claims, driver’s license photographs and credit reports, according to a document obtained by The Washington Post.
One center also has [fascist Republican] access to top-secret data systems at the CIA, the document shows, though it’s not clear what information those systems contain.
Dozens of the organizations known as fusion centers were created after the [phony, hoax] Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to identify potential threats and improve the way information is shared. The centers use law enforcement analysts and sophisticated computer systems to compile, or fuse, disparate tips and clues and pass along the refined information to other [unAmerican fascism 'enforcer,' "I hope (fascism) pops your Head..." ] agencies. They are expected to play important roles in national information-sharing networks that link local, state and federal authorities and enable them to automatically sift their storehouses of records for patterns and clues.
Though officials have publicly discussed the fusion centers’ importance to national security, they have generally declined to elaborate on the centers’ activities. But a document that lists resources used by the fusion centers shows how a ...

The evidence is that the empowered persons supported by our federal taxes -- pay up, DUE April 15 !! -- are the enemy of our human living.

Do you mean to tell me that for once a knuckleheaded government scheme came not from the City of Portland but from the solons of Olympia?
To all you 'Couverites that brag on this blog and others about your leaving the socialist clutches of Little Beirut behind for the unfettered freedom and low taxes of Clark County: Hah-hah. You're not immune from government excess.

Jack, you can thank that wingnut blogger Stefan over at soundpolitics.com for that little jewel.
Posted by Stan | April 4, 2008 11:14 AM
Really, I don't see what the big deal is...it's not like they're giving out anything interesting, like your party affiliation.
Now that would be fun.
Posted by al | April 4, 2008 12:14 PM
meg,
Point taken: no one is really safe from a determined searcher/stalker using the Intertubes. But it's awfully nice of Washington to save the stalkers so much time with such a handy tool.
They've destroyed the privacy of their own citizens, using the taxpayers own money, no less.
Just glad to see that intrusive, wrongheaded government policies are not limited to the lands south of the Columbia.

Al: ...it's not like they're giving out anything interesting, like your party affiliation.
Which is likewise considered public information. So I wonder why they left out that particular item?
Posted by John Rettig | April 4, 2008 9:28 PM
FYI, Washingtonians don't declare party affiliation when they register to vote:
http://www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/pdf/2007/MI-VRCard.pdf
From what I understand:
The state uses a hybrid open-closed primary system so affiliation hasn't been necessary. Recently, the US Supremes ruled that a open primary passed by voters in 2004 is constitutional. It'll take affect for this August's primary.

Why do you think that Web site is the fault of the Washington Sec of State? That link goes to a blog, not the State. It's not fair to blame that site on the Washington State government; curse the folks who mandated that voter records are public, and the other folks who order the records and post them online.
The database information, like all public records, can be ordered by anyone desiring the information. I don't see it on the Web anywhere. But of course, that wouldn't keep someone with an agenda (like Sound Politics) from posting it in its entirety.
"all they need is your name and your county and someone to post the entire database online"
Posted by Jud | April 5, 2008 8:53 PM
Jack, I wanted to take a test drive on that Washington State database.
Guess what?
Access FORBIDDEN!
I wonder just how much flack was caused by this massive invasion of privacy?
Great work Jack for exposing this heinous act!
The Northwest does have a 21st century Bat Man.....................
