VIDEO: The 9/11 Election
Excellent documentary on the 2001 mayoral race, created by Mark Green's son, Jonah. It could have been subtitled: "How Bloomberg Bought His First Election." That said, one of the things that gets lost re 9/11 is that it is quite possible that Green would have been mayor had the elections been held on their originally scheduled dates.Posted by Ian Alterman, Thursday, June 6, 2013

Video: “Park Avenue”

LET’S GO FISHING…
From Betty Layton This video is of commercial fishing boats returning from fishing off the coast of Washington and Oregon . They are crossing the Columbia Bar, which is where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. This is designated as one of the most dangerous ports of entry anywhere in the world. There are at least eight to 10 deaths per year with people trying to get in or out in boats that are not made for this kind of severe beating - the kind you see these boats going through. These boats are self - righting, have a super low centr e of gravity, sealed engine compartments, basically bullet proof glass windows, double steel hulls. Well, you get the idea. They are commercial shrimp and fishing boats.Posted by Michael Butler, Sunday, March 31, 2013
