Don't like it? Start your own fucking newspaper.

I mean, I know that you do, but I still find it unbelievable and kinda sad.

To all of you who blindly followed The Stranger endorsements and are annoyed that you already voted... HA! Maybe next time you'll do your own research, and if you haven't researched an issue/candidate, you'll not vote in those races and stick to voting in the ones you have.

I thought all America cared about was MJ's doctor?

I'm with michaelp--there were plenty of reasons befoer this not to endorse Martin-Morris. Glad you finally saw the light, but it was already blazingly bright.

As long as too many voters choose to:
cast their votes founded in opinions formed by myths and half-truths, rather than the facts,
we will continue to have legislative bodies filled with purveyors of half-truths.

In an effort to counter the dissemination of half-truths and myths I present:

Seattle School Board 2011 Voter's Guide -- - an evidence filled voters guide.

Check the State Auditor's reports ... This Board on several occasions did not follow laws or policies. /// Martin-Morris doesn't think often enough. He prefers to spin yarns around subjects like TFA and New Tech Network contract instead of following laws.

If I ever run for school board my platform will be "not a parent, but an administrator; and if elected parents will be forbidden to enter school grounds or contact school officials in any way".

It was just stupid: BOTH sides. I wanted to vote to send them all to their rooms without dinner. But it's just one frickin' initiative: you're going to throw EVERYTHING out because of an even-more-stupid-than-usual initiative? Sheesh.

I, for one, would have thought his support of lowering standards for graduation, or belief that the School Board should be for enacting Administration policies, not oversight, or his blind, steadfast support for Goodloe-Johnson should have been enough.

But all the same, good job! I just hope enough folks that rely on the Stranger cheat sheet haven't voted the wrong way...

One, for reexamining their endorsement based on new information. Two, for probably being the only media outlet in this town that would admit a mistake in judgment. You will NEVER see this from the Times (which makes The Stranger all the more credible).

I join them wholeheartedly in this endorsement (although I endorsed Buetow from the start).
