Seattlest: We Also Read the Weeklies

Nah, go ahead. Dan Savage is a lot of people's best sex columnist. The Seattle Weekly is published by the Village Voice which is humorous because the VV syndicates the column of the editor (Savage, of course) of the Weekly's competitor in Seattle: The Stranger. I can't seem to write that in a way that makes sense on the first pass. We're lucky to have two decent alternative weeklies as well as two dalies (such as they are) esp for our relative size.

Hilarious. Isn't the Weekly a New Times publication? Because I know all the New Times weeklies down here have the same website template. At least you guys have an alternative weekly with a sense of humor. While the Guardian is great and all, it does nothing to change the perceptions of the left as having anything like an ability to laugh about themselves. Should I ask Rita to eschew commenting on Savage now that you guys are on his beat? What's sad is that he's our best sex columnist, too.
