Some complain about the smell so no sex in the john - others just gobble away till the pie begone

he needs a better hair clip

Of course. That's where I do most of my slogging.

I often wonder why folks even notice these things. Skin color is skin color. Diversity doesn't come in skin color. Stop thinking about fucking skin color.

Just a thought.

From PI - "Have you checked out what could be in store to replace the south end of the aging Alaskan Way Viaduct and sea wall? The proposed design of the section that would replace nearly half of the viaduct will be discussed at public meetings later this month. The state transportation department and Federal Highway Administration want public feedback about what issues should be considered for an environmental assessment of the project's south section."

Meetings are scheduled from 5-8 p.m. on two days: Sept. 24 at the Starbucks Support Center, 2401 Utah Ave. S., and Sept. 26 in Madison Middle School's cafeteria, 3429 45th Ave. S.W. For information: call 206-267-6820, or e-mail: viaduct@wsdot.wa.gov.

Is the Stranger's Favorite Developer involved in knocking down any of the Stranger's "Favorite Bars", by any chance?

The Stranger has given the Seattle Weekly shit for its lack of diversity. So, The Stranger should either put up or shut up.

I meant 'in general'. So, the Stranger would also be included.

But I think it's okay to attack the Weekly on anything. Hypocrisy doesn't matter in this area. Making sense isn't necessary, either.

This is gonna be fun!

(no, I am not being ironic, I'm being serious.)

(seriously)

You're an idiot. In the amount of time it takes you to notice difference in skin color, you could have noticed the things that really matter, like difference in opinion, experience, background, beliefs, etc. Making note of any lack of difference in skin color is the equivalent to making decisions, friends, whatever, based on skin color.

And I also link to a page that shows I'm a white male, as well as provide my name, so I'm scratching my head as to how you couldn't use my fucking name, you ignorant pseudo-bigoted bitch.

first of all, good for you for letting them anoint cary as the first political genius award winner. couldn't go to someone better.

2 of all, and this is to your bosses more than you, WTF?

everyone on the page has received compensation (and in your list of political runner-ups) of some sort for their activities. admittedly not enough--creativity is never paid enough--but your recognition might just encourage others to become writers, artists, dramaturges, etc. so with the thought that we should be encouraging more activity like what cary has done, why stiffing the political geniuses?

we need more people like cary. we need to fete them, honor them and hold them up on a pedestal. to engage in political activity Seattle is seldom fun, seldom fulfilling, and almost never pays. hiller, kaushik et al do what they do because at their core they believe in it--but shit, it doesn't hurt that they are able to use their passions to put food on their families tables. cary wasn't/didn't get paid when she started her campaign. she did it because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. PERIOD. that is amazing. shocking really, with the way civic culture is in the US right now.

for what she's done, she deserves this award, but she doesn't deserve some second class recognition. you're giving her the mcdonalds and everyone else is getting the mcarthur. whoever underwrites the genius awards should step up. or you need someone to fund the political genius award. there are people out there who can.

seattle deserves more activists who are as smart and passionate as cary. incentivize that engagement.

and see you at the library tomorrow . . .
