And after his sterling journalistic investigation into Cougars that graced the cover of the Weekly this week, he shall be missed.

The Stranger staff writer Josh Feit (rhymes with �bait?�) has posted a blog entry after a brief 5-minute pause.

Has he moved on to distributing Real Change? I understand you can do really well for yourself there...

And why does the Stranger care about this?

you people (minus @4) are forgetting about the whole real change article dust-up. slog readers were interested then--this is worth noting.

i like huan hsu and i found the article on cougars entertaining and well-researched and not tinged by the cheap jokes and misogyny that something on that subject easily could have been.

@1 - maybe he'll ghost write a new column - Ask A Secret Asian Man?

In recent "weeks"? Hardly. SW's best of our advertisers issue is always big�200 pages, yep. They won the page count that week, and "by far." But this week they're right back down to 84 pages, and a few more weeks of that and their averages are right back in the toilet.

Maybe it wasn't as ca-RAY-zee as it was portrayed to be becoming there.

Although an article about milfs should be a good way to go out.

@12 - oh, it's not that bad, at least they used four of my quotes in their Best of Seattle.

Having just read Huan Hsu's miserable excuse of a cover story and wondered if this signaled the end of SW, I must say I'm relieved. Hsu's attempts at journalism resemble the antics of a hyperactive puppy: marginally cute but ultimately annoying.

I wasn't too thrilled with his articles, but who knows how much of that had to do with his input and how much of it had to do with their's.

Not a bad decision on his part to GTFO. I wouldn't want to write there either.

Remember the old adage about pissing in your own swimming pool, Strangerites. We writer-types end up working together someday. And in all fairness, how about slogging each time a P-I or Times staffer quits? You know, since you care so much...
