The Sounders won, huh?

I thought Seattle's Favorite Team(tm) would get more press.

People might buy more Boeing jets if they could keep the wings on their shiny new planes from falling off. They should fix that problem pretty soon, before they hand the entire aircraft business to their rival any further than they have already.

Excellent coverage of the Open Cup, Slog; only 14 hours late. I've already recovered from the victory hangover.

Nothing on the rumor that Glenn Beck murdered and raped a young person in 1990?

@2, remember the Far Side where the passenger flips the swith called "Wings stay on: Wings fall off"?

Your comment reminded me of that.

I read a rumour that Glenn Beck murdered and raped a girl in 1990..... in yesterday's Slog. But since then, Beck has not denied that he murdered and raped a girl in 1990.

@4: I heard he raped and murdered a girl.

Murdered and raped? Holy shit, that guy is even more depraved than I thought.

Glenn, show us the police report and put these rumors to rest!

@7 Until Glenn Beck steps forward with definitive proof we are not sure if he murdered her (or could be him as well) first or raped the person first.

Still, until he denies it; Glenn Beck is a murderer and Glenn Beck is a rapist.

The guy is a douchebag and there may be actual evidence one can link to, but the Glenn Beck is a Rapist/Murderer rumor meme is annoying like WTC 7 9/11 Conspiracy wank and Boycott Whole Foods tweets.

In other words, you're preaching to the choir and we get it, Cato. Now cut it out and write something interesting.

@9 -- so you're saying that although he may or may not have raped and murdered that girl in 1990, you find it tedious, so everyone should shut up about it? Never! The truth must come out!

His silence on the matter of raping and murdering that girl in 1990 is deafening. What a disgusting man to not be honest with everyone and tell us the TRUTH.

I am shocked the people do not want the truth about Glenn Beck murdering and raping a young lady in 1990 not to ring out for all America to beware of.

Glenn Beck only needs to deny such crimes with proof that Glen Beck did not murder or rape a young lady in 1990. Write to Fox News and DEMAND he answer these claims!!

10. Because we know already? Because each of you have told us a dozen times?

Go tell someone who doesn't know, i.e. someone who doesn't read Slog, i.e. some other website comment thread or something.

@2 "People might buy more Boeing jets if they could keep the wings on their shiny new planes from falling off."

Maybe they should get out of the airplane business and into the submarine business.

I watched the Sounders win twice. Amazingly, it was like an hour and ten minutes before they even got the first goal.

By the way, the recession is over.

Levi Johnson in undies? YES. He really is a hunk, and out of the whole Palin saga he is definitely the only thing worth looking out for in 2012.

Johnston, sorry. I was just gazing at his pic and totally forgot to correct myself.

this guy I know in Spokane 20
It's easy to think "Johnson" when you look at his picture...

What is the U.S. Open cup and why should we care that a mediocre team in a mediocre league won it?

Oh and that deadly cocaine thing was reported in the real paper like two months ago.
