Clarification: Israel warns Palestinian MILITANTS that they will pay A "heavy price" for their role in unprovoked rocket attacks on Gaza.

Not the Palestinian people on a whole. If you're going to be anti-Israel, base your arguments in fact not your own insinuation.

It's been my secret assumption and fear that after all the tugging back on forth on the issue of what to do about the viaduct, and knowing how Seattle has historically handled other pressing issues like public transportation, what would eventually happen with the viaduct is replacing it with a new viaduct.

Oh, what fun it is to watch the snowed-in and increasingly midnight-drunk-at-noon Commenters O'Slog get wilder and weirder and ever more meta on Christmas Day.

Hey!

All Slognoxiousness aside, Merry Slogmas, y'all! Even a fictitious asshole like me is willing to wish his kindred Slog spirits thusly on a day like today.

Don't worry though, scary tyler moore. Come Boxing Day, I'll be back to insulting your mama like there never weren't ever no tomorrow.

Ah-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Thanks for this, Dominic. Gives me other things to think about on a truly sucky Christmas.
