She's back, vamping as a bald stealth tranny. She's posing as somebody or something called "David Goldstein," but it's fartin' Hart for sure. I'd know that PMS screech anywhere.

Her third-hour, however, was pretty good, something about our animal companions being poisoned by Red Chinese capitalism and conservatism. Also us.

Capitalists and conservatives want us and our doggies to die, probably so we can't buy their stuff. They resist regulation so they can poison our kibbles and kill our teeth.

For the first time ever, Hart's right. Until last week, the Lutheran Compass Center, a compassion station for Seattle's poor, dispensed white death: AmerFresh toothpaste made in China, a paste for which the magic whitening brightening ingredient may be diethylene glycol antifreeze ... according to the usual unreliable sources: NPR, FDA, Erin Goldy Hart.

Wouldn't it be useful if Hart or one of The Stranger's month-of-heathens writers did something useful for a change? If maybe they pulled their little heads out of the communion cups to find out whether, indeed, AmerFresh is poison? To find out if Sanctuary City is subsidizing LCC and other do-good venues to poison Seattle citizens and "citizens"? To find out what hot-rod Greg Nickels will do to determine if Seattle's deserving poor deserved to clean their teeth with Seattle-subsidized renal shutdown and liver failure?

(As for being killed by conservatism, I and many others were almost killed by Bill Clinton and Democrat liberalism when we ingested E-Coli 0157 with our well-regulated, made-by-American-hippies, organic, cow-shit Odwalla. Mmmm mmm. Those were the days, Erin. Or "David.")

Also, Howard Stern had Michael Moore on this morning. Great stuff.

i just had a 4-story house built in my view. do those loggers also do demo work "when no one is around"? i need a story taken off.

too often i am somewhere around town only to see horridly pruned trees...enough so that i've often dreamed of a way to hang a permanent sign on the glorified stumps left behind that says something to the effect of 'thanks for murdering me. please put me out of my misery and re-plant a new tree who won't end up pruned like me.' ...if there's anyone out there who has any great ideas on how to do this inconspicuously, let me know.

oh and for those who need images rather than words to show what goes on:

plant amnesty's bad pruning gallery is here.

Especially if it was splashed on the front pages of the papers and on TV ...
