@nptdz, go read the article again! (or I suspect, you should read it for the first time) She never said that the IG said that Seattle was the best place. What she said is that the decision making process was flawed because they never investigated two sites *already owned* by ...

What the hell? Please, tell me this is askew satire! (now I have a vision of "it's a small world after-all" with Nick's face on the cloying little dolls)

Boys Rule: Great group of distinguished pundits that you assembled there, Crosscut! Seldom has such an august group of high-fiving white guys ever convened behind closed doors to pick a slate of mainly male, mainly right-leaning, mainly bland politicos. Diversity be damned.

RE: correction: what's wrong with "effecting his decision"? do you think it should be "affecting"? if so, you need to consult a recent style book. or, even the good old merriam-webster site there you'll learn that there's only a subtle difference between effect/affect remaining to standard english. if you're making ...

i am legion: rest assured that if any of these oh-so-typical ted.van.dyk or other hackneyed schemes that promise "a way forward" make it as far as a public forum myself and legions of my ilk will amass and shout it down! and if some politician doesn't get the message that ...

Well done Mr Palmer!: A good rule to judge brilliance is to think "I wish I'd written that". Well I really wish I written that! Excellent. It's just a pity that Ed Hansen no longer reads anything other than the sports page and his check ledger.

Kang: It's a two party system you have to vote for one of us: I believe that Trey Parker and Matt Stone already largely "rebranded" these world views in their dubious Team America. Replacing "fools" and "knaves" with various body parts. Also there's the popular: "so did you vote for ...

Typical non-natives corrupting our local treasures: I pledge $94.90 to KUOW if they fire Jeff Hansen's non-native-seattle butt outta there. (next-up: KCTS has lost its local flavor too)

why just buildings?: Why limit such preservation of grand ol' times to mere bricks and mortar? Knute Berger himself should be declared a historical feature! (site? edifice? treasure?) Until this action is made properly legal, Knute should have a suitable escutcheon crafted to wear about his neck, and Jonathan Raban ...
