Nickels was the tiniest potato in the bunch.

And, if not, why not?

Or do we need to show you what public action looks like?

As though being on the cover of the Seattle Weekly last week wasn't bad enough!

He may not have been speeding around with it this time, but I've smoked weed with him in the past... as have many others.

Don't always like what they do, but that was fine reporting.

They could set him up to manage a pet store in Pittsburg, or maybe as a barista in Boise. That would make for a cool episode of Law & Order.
