The counter on this page slipped past 1.3 million sometime late last night, Hawaii time. Did you notice the return of the pesky “Hawaii” headlines in the Advertiser on stories referring to stories concerning Honolulu?

Primary Election Saturday in Hawaii. Get up and vote if you haven’t already. Please. It seems that I got unreasonably distracted by the sloppy Photoshop work in Rep. Colleen Meyer’s latest campaign brochure and missed another matter altogether. One of her Democratic opponents in District 47, Jessica Wooley, was calling another problem to the attention [...]
