Around The -Ists This Week


It is too bad that this web publication chose to slander and use horrid language about Taylor Hicks. I would imagine that the city of Seattle would not like to lose tourists in today's failing economy but you are losing this tourist. Cancelling my reservations at the PanSeattle Hotel and going to head to somewhere else and it won't be the state of Washington either!!!! Your city won't be getting my vacation dollars...that includes, cabs, restuarants, shopping etc.. Just don't like people like the likes of YOU!!!
