Microsoft Playing Catch-Up: The company hopes the release of Windows Phone 7 on Wednesday Monday will get them out of the mobile doldrums. It could always be worse, guys—it could always be Zune.
Don't Drink from the Red Cups: A dozen young revelers fall seriously ill at a party in Roslyn. Police are investigating for roofies.
On the Campaign Trail: An inside look at the Rossi campaign. There's an awkward moment when Rossi and some executives take cover from the rain under a structure built with stimulus dollars.
Ethnic Festivals are Fun: St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Capitol Hill is hosting a two-day bazaar. It's a kinder, gentler pre-revolutionary Russian culture on display at this festival. The food is personally endorsed by me.
Heavily Democratic 9th District Now in Play: Challenger Dick Muri is within striking distance of incumbent Congressman Adam Smith D-Tacoma. If Muri would just change his name to Karl Marx, this race would be much more compelling and fun.
Sounders FC Clinch Playoff Spot: Seattle's squad wins 2-1 in Kansas City. It was their third consecutive road win.
Serbia Goes Crazy for Gay Pride: In all the wrong ways. At least 50 people were injured at a Pride parade in Belgrade.
Big Day for Juche: Kim Jong Il and his newly-designated heir Kim Jong Un attended a military parade. In other news, everyone outside of Pyongyang endured another day of malnutrition.
Israel Looks for a New Way to Piss off Arabs: The Israeli cabinet approved a loyalty oath that will require new citizens to swear allegiance to a "Jewish and democratic state." It still has to be approved by parliament. In case you forgot, Arabs form 20% of Israel's population.
A Cryptozoologist's Wet Dream: For the first time since the early 1980s, Chinese researchers will launch an organized search for the Yeren. The Yeren is supposedly a Bigfoot-like cryptid holding it down in Hubei province.
why don't you watch Schindlers list again,JEW HATER! Get an understanding of how under threat we JEWS are!
my great uncle has death camp tatoo's on his arm. NEVER FORGET!
I hope you do the decent thing and pull your post DEFAMING Isreal and Jewish people worldwide, less you be labeled in the same camp as other antisemites.
@1 -- Therein lies the problem.

538 has it going from a 99.7% chance of a Smith win to 94.7%.
Hardly within "striking distance".

Actually, I wonder if you're just Alleged pretending to be an MOT.
@3: Zing.

Their lives intersected last weekend in what city officials described on Saturday as the worst antigay attack in recent memory. It happened in an abandoned building in the Morris Heights section that neighbors said had been virtually taken over in recent months by youths who used it for wild parties and sex.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/10/nyregi…
The authorities say nine young men who called themselves the Latin King Goonies lured the gay man to the building with the promise of a party and tortured him and the two 17-year-olds they suspected of having sex with him, subjecting them to beatings that went on for hours, gruesome sexual attacks with a small baseball bat and the wooden handle of a toilet plunger, and cigarette burns on the genitals of the older man.

Where is the pride? If history proves anything, it's that without it, we pay too high a price. I WILLNOT be compassionate to the people who kill my bretheren, support killing my people, or who doubt the rightousness of Israel and her actions.
we have a word for people like you: Self Loathing Jew....

Muri's message is simple.
"Anybody but Smith", said Muri, 56, who has served as a Pierce County councilman for seven years.
You can't accuse the guy of egotism.

Isn't the release/laughfest tomorrow (Monday)?

You're confusing "pride" with "fascism" here. And doubt is the seed of learning, while blind acceptance is the seed of ignorance. When Moshe saw the burning bush, he did not simply accept that the bush was burning; he looked further, and questioned why the flames did not consume it. And thus he was called to prophecy, because he cared to question his surroundings. If we categorically refuse to doubt our righteousness, we become arrogant and corrupt.
It is foul and unjust to punish an entire people for the crimes of a few. Remember the old stories? God was ready to spare Sodom and Gomorrah, the epitomes of corruption, if Avraham could find but ten righteous people among all of them.
And no, I don't loathe myself. I loathe those who seek to oppress others and still claim some sort of brotherhood with me.
TL;DR: Israel AND Palestine are run by raging douchenozzles.
damn seems by now everyone would realize that homosexuals are the chosen; gentle, loving, non-violent, awesome parents, open minded, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent; and especially physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.....
