Slog - Comments on Josh Feit: Banished! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/josh_feit_banished Josh Feit, previously of the Stranger, as well as Horse's Ass editor David Goldstein (AKA Goldy) was kicked out of Dino Rossi's news conference yesterday because, according to a Republican operative, he worked for a "partisan" publication, Horsesass.com. Bruce Ramsey, an editorial writer for "nonpartisan" Seattle Times--which just happened to endorse Rossi--was allowed in, and today he called bullshit on the Rossi camp's double standard. Being an employee of a big paper, I have hardly ever had that happen to me. The one time I remember was in the 90s as a business reporter being denied entry to a stockholder...

On the other hand, Josh can sometimes be a bit grouchy ...

I wouldn't let him in if I were Rossi -- I mean, it's not like he's going to give Rossi good press regardless of whether he's allowed in. Bruce Ramsey might.

"Josh is a ten-year veteran of WA’s political press corps as a reporter and News Editor for the [recently defunct] soon to be struggling Stranger, and with his decade of experience HA now claims the weighty mantle of “Seattle’s Only Online Newspaper."

"But it’s a job he can’t afford to do for free, and so after brainstorming the possibilities, I decided to roll the dice on the concept of “community-funded journalism” and promise Josh $2,500 I don’t have. And that, loyal readers, is where you come in."

That type of media unity succeeded in busting open a McCain event, if memory serves.

You need to go back and rework the first paragraph completely. Terrible terrible grammer.

Take a look at the second one as well. There is a lot of redundancy in play. It makes it a little cumbersome.

Cuddles, you swarmy little fish pot...;)

Hey it's me, Lara Elborno.

I go to rallies to protest while pretending to be on the guys site.

I'm just an angry person because when I was younger I was really cute, and all the boys wanted me, but my mom wouldn't let me date.

Now I'm older and have this big mustache on my face. Even if I shave it it grows back in like an hour.

And don't ask about elsewhere -- it's a jungle.

So...I protest.
