Capitol Hill food+drink: New bear bar coming to 14th, Vermillion bday ...

OK, so I used the cliched "burly" to describe bears, below. But that's what they are! Got a tip? CHS@capitolhillseattle.com . Strapping?

If the den of burly guys CHS found working away on 14th Ave this past weekend have their way, part of the Pride weekend excitement in Seattle will be people talking about a new bear bar on Capitol Hill. "It's going to be a really fun place where everybody can feel comfortable at," co-owner Mike Reis tells CHS about a new project underway about to fill in the former Martin's off Madison space on 14th Ave between Madison and Union. "We want a bear bar that is open to everybody," Reis said. Some may recognize Reis as part of the Luxor Bears , organizers of private parties with an ursine flavor since 2003. "Bears. Bikers. Blackjack. Bonfires. Booze." goes the tagline. The photo page , um, fleshes it out. "The bear community definitely got started because of a lack of place to be," he said. "We didn't know what we were doing. We just wanted to have a place to get together."  Reis says the new bar brings the culture of the Luxor Bears and experience gained creating good times for the past eight years into a new space. The private party group will continue as a separate entity but its partners have set about creating a new manifestation of their lifestyle and culture. "We wanted something that was very masculine identified," Reis said. "I think men in general have lost an idea of masculinity. And kind of lost touch. We wanted to have something that was very masculine, industrial, blue collar." For now, beyond the philosophy of the new space, the big guy is being shy about the details. There's no target date for opening and the name of the new bar is still under wraps as are some key details that we can't share yet. We can tell you it will have a "Motor City" feel but Reis said won't be "one dimensional" in that regard. Former CC Attle's manager Mark Engelmann  -- Reis calls him an icon of Seattle's bear culture -- is part of the team. Engelmann left CC's in 2004 when he and his partner had to leave the state to take care of a family member. Reis said he's looking forward to working with Engelmann to create something for the culture he was instrumental in helping to build in the city.

Tea Party Express chair admits movement is ... - Capitol Hill Blue

The Tea Party — a phony “grassroots” movement that is and always has been nothing but a front for the Republican Party — showed its true colors Sunday when Amy Kremer, chair of the Tea Party Express, admitted the so-called group of independents will endorse a Republican — any Republican — for President.

“Whoever the Republican nominee is will have the support of the Tea Party movement — the entire Tea Party movement,” Kremer told Fox News Sunday.

Even Mitt Romney?

Yes, Kremer said. Even Mitt Romney.

So much for independence. So much for looking at the candidate, not the party. So much for the grassroots.

“There is no way that we are going to support a third party candidate,” Kremer told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. “It would split the vote and it would guarantee reelection for Obama and we need to crush Obama. We have to get him out of the White House.”

Kremer’s comments expose the Tea Party for what it is — an arm of the GOP funded by the billionaire Koch brothers and run by the GOP establishment.

It never has been a “grassroots” movement.

It never was one.

And it never will be one.

These attempts at trying to damage President Obama’s White House is just dirty politics. Come on, this started when Clinton bopped his Intern. The GOP had not had a worthy agenda outside of destroying our President and allowing the religious right to rewrite our Constitution. Somehow the name “Gov. George W. Bush” became the accepted candidate and very few leaders of either party bothered to check his level of intelligence. He was a Born Again Christian and that was enough to spin America into a world of one world dominance.

This poor choice by the RNC and the voters, has nearly destroyed our American set of values. The notion that America is a Christian Nation has given all voters a phony sense of security.

This ridiculous notion that a Christian nation will never allow women and gays to live freely brought the next level of utter ignorance found in the Tea Party groups who sound closer to a militia than a workable political movement,

The die was cast after WW2 by the Birch Society and the creeping ugliness of these Evangelicals did a job on American values trying to force a change into a government based on superstition and the occult.
