Our state capitol has let me down. I really thought Olympia was going to be all shiny, like a new coin or a gleaming diamond. Instead I was dismayed to discover that our capitol is not shiny, but tattered, torn and filled with some sketchy-ass peeps. Color me disappointed.
Every single one of us spent months of our lives in elementary school learning the state capitols, you’d think if something is going to be drilled so hard into our heads, that the least the government could do was make sure the towns that house the capitols sparkle.
I’m not saying Olympia is the grosses town I’ve been too, but it ranks up there. I have seen the most random people walking the streets. A trannie looking for the Children’s Museum, and some dude dressed head-to-toe in all white. Actually, you know what - he did sparkle so I guess Olympia provided something.
Being the state capitol I have also gotten to witness some pretty good demonstrations, and session hasn’t even begun yet! I mean that's like Christmas came early. Like today in a three block radius I witnessed the pro-lifers face-off with the pro-choicers, some anti-war demonstrators holding up their "honk if you want to Impeach Bush" signs, and a lone guy holding up a sign that simply read “Just say no to Thugs.” I really have no idea what that was about, maybe he’s been mugged one too many times.
