Slog - Comments on These are a Few of My Favorite Things... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/these_are_a_few_of_my_favorite_things Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, Hot Tamales cinnamon-flavored candies, and the ever-expanding oeuvre of Seattle Gay News Arts & Entertainment writer Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid. Rajkhet first claimed a space in my literary consciousness with her amazing headline-writing skills, which are allowed to run free by the SGN's proper-grammar-is-a-tool-of-the-patriarchy editorial policy. My early favorite Rajkhet headline, resting atop her review of 2001's Stanley Kubrick/Steven Spielberg collaboration Artificial Intelligence: A.I.: More Kubrick Than Spielberg, But Still Good. I doubt Rajkhet will ever top the loony succinctness of that dazzler, but the headline for her (rave) review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck...

Is it that the artistically gifted gays defect to their straight brethren when they get into media? WHY??

That's mental. Jesus, Mel Brooks could write a movie about it -- "Springtime for Hitler" 21st century style.

It's time for Annie Wagner to pack her shit and get the fuck out. Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid is movin' in!

OMG! Can you imagine the fun we'd have posting on her Slogs?!

That's kind of an important thing not to screw up!

Aside from her determination to find queer subtext in EVERYTHING, we got some great reviews. Unfortunately, I could only use ...phrases... for our Press Quotes section, because it was impossible to find a single grammatically correct sentence in the whole article!

Viva Shani!

This was not because it was a Gay paper but because its editing and content was sloppier than any high school newspaper, church bulletin, or homeless person sign in the nation! It hasn't changed either!

I wouldn't say that all gay newspapers are bad either. Some actually are professionally done. The Washington, D.C., paper actually is a a good read for st8 people, too!

Seattle is just blessed with the worst. Why won't someone just put SGN out of its misery already?

I just clicked the link to the review and guffawed seeing the headline, "Chuck and Larry: A very funny movie, timely, and a provocative shower scene", written three times before the actual review. A headline so nice, they had to post it thrice!

Get Rajkhet on the Stranger staff!! Unpaid Blogger and others would surely whip his grammar into shape, AND close his bold tags for him.
