On May 3, 2008 6:11 PM in Plastic Bags, Cold Dead Hands, Got It, Guys?, they said:

For the record, I'm not arguing as a plastic-bag fetishist. I have three reusable bags on hand, and only really use one at a time, since that's all that fits in my bike's basket. If I don't have a bag...

On May 1, 2008 3:46 PM in My Fair Lady Is as Loverly as Ever, they said:

The night I was there, they got a standing ovation. Of course Seattleites *always* give a standing ovation, but in this instance, the audience seemed actually moved, too. So I would disagree with the ...

On April 23, 2008 10:36 AM in Amtrak Fatality Makes News Everywhere But on Train, they said:

Yeah, once again, Amtrak's default policy is to say nothing at all. The train stops, they may apologize for the mysterious delay, but they don't tend to tell you if there's been a serious accident, th...
