One of the details is that they get to watch porn at The Eagle. With Mr. Poe. Perched on a piano. Singing Weimar cabaret songs in a Charlie McCarthy tuxedo. Monocle not included. Some assembly required.

I actually have a monocle. I knew I needed one the moment I finished viewing Heathers for the first time.

I have one, too. A really expensive one from that optical shop on Maiden Lane in San Francisco. I don't know -- I just kinda felt I needed one.

I just sent you an email to your hotmail account.

But it bounced back.

Shame. Perhaps you should try an actual e-mail address.

I tried c**er**k@hotmail.com

Change "hotmail" to "gmail", silly.

Who the fuck uses hotmail anymore? That e-mail hasn't been active for years.

Way to go Council! Rewarding a corrupt SPD run by an incompetent Chief who can't even get hired in any other 2nd rate city in the US. Violent crime on the rise, corruption, harassing gay bars - I have a good idea - give 'em a raise. Where the hell is Nick Licata??

Boys, boys, boys, you're making the Jew jealous., and you know what happens when Jews get jealous, they get greedy. So put your money where your mouth is, and I'll rent you Mr. Poe a few nights a week, not including weekends. I'll be in Seattle in an hour and we can make all the arrangements, just send Mr. Poe your phone number.

What about the hashbrowns I heated up for you a few weeks ago? Does that count?

Thus ends the last best chance we had at REAL reform of the police department in 10 years. This contract's new accountability mechanisms are window dressing and won't accomplish anything substantive.

The only hope of even moderate change now requires getting a new mayor, a new chief, and maybe a new OPA director.

In other words, back to business as usual. SPOG dodged another bullet, thanks mainly to the cowardice of our City Council.

Congrats to the police. I have to eat my words. I believe I said the cops would push back for more.

I was wrong.

Trevor @20: Is this really a ten year contract? I find that hard to believe. Where did you hear that? Standard contracts are three years.

In the LAST ten years (1998-2008).

Nice! I wonder how many white hoods that extra 25-36% will buy!
