      <![CDATA[This is the second round of buyouts/layoffs this year and Devericks is only the second person gone from the whole editorial staff. Considering there's only one daily page to put together and a two-page Sunday edit/oped page, there are still FAR TOO MANY bodies on the editorial staff in proportion to other areas of the paper that readers actually READ. <br />
<br />
I used to work there - the majority of the editorial department employees walk around playing pocket-pool all day. Never any heavy lifting there. Each files about one column per week if that.

<br />
and then, you got the Hearst's own Seattle P-I....<br />
<br />
I say the Stranger steps it up, hires Devericks, and me, and   we become the real Seattle news source.  <br />

      <![CDATA[Lets see. First they endorsed G.W.B.(Puke) for president. Then they endorse Dino Rossi (Gag) for governor. Maybe it's time to say goodnight, Gracie. Turn the running of the paper over to a new generation and try to keep your hands off. At this point your paper has little to lose.

      <![CDATA[good riddance devericks! you could follow your mentor and hero david ammons and go work in luke esser's press office. <br />
<br />
you know, it's a real loss to the people of this city that we don't get to see your idiotic, pedestrian cartoons about obama's coattails or the state's budget, but i'm sure that somehow we'll find a way to push through without you. or maybe know one will notice (more likely). time will tell!
