Like all informed citizens, we keep track of goings-on in Seattle and the wider world by making frequent visits to Seattle Weekly’s website. Where else can we find out if bread is still rising or if Philip Dawdy is still [OFFENDING PASSAGE DELETED]? The Weekly’s positions on the issues of the dayfrom the Nordstrom Parking Garage to the War in Indo-China to exactly how much money their corporate masters have poured into the Republican Party this weekare far too unpredictable to guess at. One really must make frequent visits to their infrequently updated website to learn where their crackerjack team of writers will come down on any given issue.

Unfortunately, we can no longer visit their website. The powers that be at Seattle Weekly have seen fit to block every Stranger computer from visiting their website. This is not a joke. I repeat: No one at The Stranger can visit the Weekly online.

Let that sink in: When someone at The Stranger attempts to access the Seattle Weekly via the Information Superhighway, our progress is impeded by a cruel road closure. No detour, no roadside assistance, no OnStar. We are shit out of Mossback.

Damn you, Seattle Weekly!
