Slog - Comments on Baugh! Episode One http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/baugh_episode_one There's not all that much to bitch about in John Longenbaugh's first outing as a theater news columnist at the Seattle Weekly. Pomposity is kept to a minimum, he gets Ann Graham's name right—oh, wait, no he doesn't. No 'e,' Longenbaugh. At least to a fellow e-less Ann, that's a pretty irritating error. But what was that you emailed me again? As to all your other comments—whatever. I assumed that having someone fact-check my column each week is what the Weekly’s supposed to do, but if you want to donate the time, go for it. Sure thing! Glad to help....

That's a welcomed plus. We need more discussion, not less. Once upon a time this town had local television stations that actually covered the arts, particularly theatre. KING most notably - KOMO to a lesser extent. (KIRO was always a stick in the mud.)

Are you 12?

I know as well as anyone about Mr. Longenbaugh's indiscretions and snarkiness, and yet he wrote what you yourself admitted was a fairly balanced article. Why are wasting Slog space with this ridiculous nitpicking?

What ever happened to journalistic integrity? When you walk through those loft doors does it just blow off of you or something? I mean honestly did any of you go graduate in journalism, or was it merely English 101?

but why make such a big deal about it?

high road. high road. high road.

Yes - but remember - to Annie's credit - unlike the late Pauline Kael of The New Yorker, she has correctly used "buttfucking" in a sentence of serious movie critique. Just wish the folks at "The Putnam County 25th Annual Spelling Bee" could work that into their script instead of such banal words as bromidosis and synecdoche.

Ooops - neglected to add the reference. I recall the movie was "Tea and Sympathy". The Deborah Kerr character says to the John Kerr character: "Darling, buttfucking is so declasse". What she meant to say was "boot-tucking is so declasse" in reference to his military uniform fetish. Pauline got it right on one count and wrong on the other. Clear?
