I love these posts Goldy!

Isn't there a service that tracks circulation numbers? I remember even seeing (cribbed from various news sources going back to the year 2000) a list posted in Slog comments that showed the steady failure of the Seattle Times and their dying circulation numbers.

Stranger Times has a nice ring to it.

I missed Joni Balter's demotion. You just made my holiday weekend. Thanks man.

I know Jean Godden. And Nicole Brodeur's no Jean Godden.

@5: I'd like to claim it was a clever pun. But it was just a typo. I suppose I'd be more careful if I was paid as much a word as the Times ed board.

And, at least in the education editorials, they get their facts wrong. You can tell them, show them the evidence and they still won't correct themselves.

Very hard to take what they say seriously.

Former PI reporter Monica Guzman has been hired by the Seattle Times to write a column. I can't see how someone who likes to write about changes at the Seattle Times would miss that.

You are a hoot, Goldy. It's gonna be awesome if the Times has the balls to hire you- I might re-subscribe for that!

Brodeur was a sleepy writer from the beginning. Now, however, she is worked up: she understands there is a war (of sorts, using Fox News' lingo) on women and she's pissed. One of her first columns said, "I'm not a feminist, but..." and then went on to support all issues supported by feminists. Then she went to sleep. Now that she is fired up, she's moved. Maybe the Times-Picayune has it right.

Dude, forget the open slot. Can you angle for Lynne Varner's job? Puhleeeeaaaase.

Remember when Nicole Brodeur crossed the picket line and gave her colleagues a very public middle finger? What a peach.

The Seattle times -- the 2nd best free newspaper in Seattle!

Goldy--tell them at the job interview that if you get this editorial writing gig, I will resubscribe.
