Slog - Comments on What In Tarnation? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/what_in_tarnation Gasworks Park will be closed on weekdays for at least the next two weeks. No, it's not another mystery party shutting down the park. This time, you can blame the closure on tar. That's right, tar—leftover from when Gasworks was as a real-live gasification plant—has been bubbling up through the ground. The city is sending in special crews to take core samples and figure out how to clean up all the toxic gunk underneath the park. I say they just cover the whole damn thing in feathers and be done with it. It's the only way to be sure....

Why no mention of the Bush take on Iraq last night?

Just curious. He mentions Petraeus 8 times ( as mentioned by Jimmy Kimmel, of all people )

and it went over my head.
Is Bush that irrelevant?

probably, slog, some dialogue on this.
no more chris crocker for the love of GOD.

Hmmm, gee that is shocking. (WTF, wait until they start to look at the ground samples in the mini-industrial park in Ballard near the Fred Meyer)
