Gosh darn those local papers that censor themselves. I'm so glad that never happens at the Stranger.

It's really going to be terrible if we lose daily newspapers. There's so much that they bring to the table that blog readers are too dumb to understand. things were better 100 years ago when everybody was literate, valued the family and was proud to be an American.

Yeah, next time post the Google Earth maps of the Yes on 8 supporters so it's easier to "visit" them ...

a) of all, it's not snowing.
b) of all, farr's piece was a bizarrely self-congratulatory piece of what would have been satire had it come from anyone other than farr. hackett was dead-on.

Hackett followed the example of ECB, who routinely and ruthlessly criticizes writers at other publications. Despite her avowed feminism, ECB especially loves eviscerating female writers, some of whom are better reporters and writers than ECB. ECB can't contain her resentment and envy of her betters, especially female ones. ECB especially harbors resentments against reporters and writers at the dailies, who earn much more than her.
On weekends, ECB is a horsewoman, a lover of horses. In certain circles, her nickname is "Enumclaw Erica."

Sad to say, but this is the only way that either Seattle Daily would regain readership for anyone under 65.

I think Ms. Farr explained it quite well in her farewell piece. She did several longterm investigations (Thesaurus comes to mind) and features (Chihuly). And her Olympic Sculpture Park section was beyond compare.
Ms. Hackett's career has gone, er, differently; she probably doesn't realize how long those things take.
Sheila Farr is a classy lady. Hackett? Apparently, not so much.

Regina is a nutjob, read her blog. You think ANYONE in the Seattle Art community values her deranged opinion?
Jen, you of all people, should know that.

jen graves - you post countless dull posts on here which nobody could care less about. (oh, new curator of asian set at the tacoma set museum!!) you finally post something a little interesting about the seattle art world, and not only were you scooped, but you don't even have an opinion? you suck

twixt: the reason you find this fascinating is because you'd rather read about critics than about art. go start a blog or something.
