Media Dept. of Little Birds

What’s going on over at Mike Seely’s little blog today?
The Biggest SisterA little bird (a very trustworthy little bird) just told us that former Microsoft executive and Seattle City Councilmember Tina Podlodowski has been named President & CEO of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of King County. Noted for her formidable intellect and candor, it will be interesting to see how Tina P’s style translates to the nonprofit world, which tends to be more Seattle Nice than Velazquez Spice.
Uh… gee. A little bird told Slog that Podlodowski was leaving Lifelong the day she announced it to her staff—heck, we posted Podlodowski’s email to Lifelong’s staff the day she sent it out, last Thursday, which included the news that Podlodowski was going to head up Big Brothers/Big Sisters. (I wonder if Seely’s trusted source reads Slog?) Here’s what Podlodowski had to say when her email appeared on Slog moments after she sent it out…
Jeez - I just sent email to my staff…not to be forwarded…and there it is on the Strange Blog. I knew you guys were good, but that’s amazing…
And Mike? Lifelong is a non-profit agency and Podlodowski did pretty well there. I think the question of how her style will translate to the “non-profit world” is already settled. But feel free to run it past your little bird if you like.
Well, this apparently answers the question of whether the fine folks at Seattle Weekly read the Slog...
Apparently they don't, altho perhaps it is even more clear that perhaps they *should*
God, I love the inside access that Mike Seely has to information - like his penetrating insights into the staff of Senator Maria Cantwell. Who wouldn't kill to have his sources?
Yeah, and this post was on Gawker, like, totally yesterday...
Nope, they do read Slog, as the post has now been amended to
"it will be interesting to see how Tina P's style translates to the apolitical nonprofit world (Podlodowski has experience in the issue advocacy realm with the Lifelong AIDS Alliance),"
maybe they should find some new "little birds"
SNAP!
Nobody with experience in the Seattle non-profit world would describe it as nice.
WHOA -- a little bird also just told me that Norm Maleng has died!!@ Get on that!
front page of SGN last Friday - with pic of Tina and David Reichert - what bird, where.... silly line
And, seriously: "Velazquez Spice"? Because those fiery, hot-blooded Latinas are just sooooo FEISTY!
Fuck School
Of course, in French, "little bird" (petit oiseau) is a euphemism for "penis". cui! cui! cui!
