Slog - Comments on More on Connelly's Whidbey Island Roommates http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/04/more_on_connell Yesterday, blogger Stefan Sharkansky reported that four people, including two who actually live overseas, are registered to vote at P-I columnist Joel Connelly's 737-square-foot Whidbey Island vacation cabin. Connelly, infuriated at what he characterized in an e-mail to the Stranger as a "right-wing attack" (Sharkansky is indeed a conservative blogger), bombarded Sharkansky with e-mails defending the foursome's "residence" at the tiny cabin. In one, he offered to provide photos one of the overseas residents, David Lawsky, in the Cascades, Olympics, and on Whidbey Island. "Please send them, Joel," Sharkansky wrote. "I'll post them along with pictures of myself in Massachusetts,...

And that was before Josh/Dan/Erica discovered themselves as such a great topic.

Now comes a shuffling, hunched over Joel Connelly, complaining about the ethics of another writer. Joel on ethics? Would you like some maple syrup with that stack of irony?

Joel must have been dropped into Bellingham Bay by his mom. He's always looking for signs of diminished affection.

If you must post a rant at least include the backstory to it if you want the readers - this was for the readers, right Erica? - to be at all interested. No wait, on second thought, scratch that. Post some other water cooler gossip instead. The New York Post and Gawker have you beat hands down. You *are* trying to compete with them in some odd way, right? *yawn* Or did you think you were being political.

My boss leaks like a sieve too and that's why I had to turn into his puppet master. Joel does have a nice cabin though. Perhaps I will register to vote there so I can become deputy mayor of coupeville.

It all reminds of 3rd grade when the school bully used to call me hippie-pig and kick dirt in my face, cuz my crazy parents were off the grid hippies who had us living in a teepee. I can't help that my parents were hippies then and I can't help that Joel thinks Nick is a "60's unreconstructed hippie" now!

I'm kidding(kinda)...

Can I register to vote at your hippie island teepee?

The interesting thing here is to see Erica of the oh so rad Stranger - hook up with the ultra right bog pig of the far right.

Erica, what gives? Old Joel is maybe a simp ninny at timed, but he is not a right wing nut case whose site is awash with open hate mongering and racist and homophobic posts.....you are keeping strange company....is it sexual? At least that would explain it.......waching him onTV he looks like a dead fuck, but who knows.

Ask you buddy Stefan why he thinks poking fun at trans folks is just fine and all OK. He is a slimy cretin, get a clue Erica.

There is a saying in the Bible about the company you keep..... ask Jesus for the page.
