Throwing a hissy fish

Posted Mon, Jun 15, 11:41 a.m.

A column about PETA protesting fish throwing... way to go for the low-hanging fruit.

The Sonntag Saga: Eyman wins another game of populist outrage

Posted Fri, May 22, 2:05 p.m.

Rad! I would leave it at that, but the thing seems to be to count each others' words. Everyone note: though this comment is like 36 words long, the substantive part is only one word long!

Sound Transit ridership is up, and down

Posted Tue, May 19, 2:47 p.m.

My new driver on the Metro 72 in the morning drives like a nut, so a lot fewer people make it to the stop before the bus gets there than before. I bet they just go home and give up on trying to get on the bus. I bet the ...

Metro's dilemma: high demand, thin wallet

Posted Mon, May 18, 1:45 p.m.

Nice save, Linc. "ST expects most of its light rail riders to stand." Then: "...most riders will be standing on "full" light rail cars..." And finally: "Of course, ST is lying about the capacity of their light rail cars." Of course!

Metro's dilemma: high demand, thin wallet

Posted Thu, May 14, 4:12 p.m.

"ST expects most of its light rail riders to stand..." Let's do some math that's backed up by actual projections and find out what ST really expects. Each Link Light Rail train car has 74 seats, and each train will have a minimum of two cars (http://soundtransit.org/x4306.xml), so each train ...

Drinking the tea from those tea parties

Ted, maybe you could frame this less in terms of "we" and "I" and more in terms of future generations.

Trolleys have trolley poles. Streetcars have pantographs.

Dealing with "pirates" in the Pacific Northwest

Posted Fri, Apr 17, 2:35 p.m.

"Voluntary thievery" – that's just blackwhite. National Public Radio, 4/13: "While no one wants to make light of piracy... " I thought everyone wanted to. This article doesn't even contain the word "Seafair."

The folly of building a new Seattle jail

Posted Mon, Apr 13, 2:06 p.m.

Artman, you didn't answer domkvj's question: have you been in a school in the ghetto? I teach in a school that's not even in the ghetto, and the way we treat minority students is truly nauseating. So the question bears repeating: have you? Additionally, "wasting their lives" is meaningless. I ...

Get ready for Seattle's PostGlobe

Posted Mon, Apr 13, 2 p.m.

It probably would have been wise of them to put some sort of "coming soon" or "under construction" notice on their Web page. Right now it's some weird frame Web page that appears to have nothing to do with what it's going to be tomorrow.

The Globe and I

Posted Sat, Apr 11, 9:30 p.m.

How in the heck did you get that monstrous globe inside the office for a closed-door meeting? Did the text continue its orbit the whole while?

Government is one big fat malaprop

Posted Wed, Apr 1, 12:58 p.m.

Did your students sign a waiver? Aren't these malaprops their intellectual property, not yours, no matter how funny they seem? At least give them co-author status, sine they wrote three fourths of the article.

Politics: The snow storm that won't end

Posted Mon, Mar 23, 7:22 p.m.

Road salt discussions aside, how come the Seattle media continue to hide from Seattleites what snow is really made of? Let's acknowledge that our snow is in fact different. Snow is ice, air and water. Seattle's snow like like 75% air, 20% ice and 5% water. Snow in the Midwest ...

Is there actually a language called Eritrean?
