• Hella Bus has an engaging, creative, relevant (and short!) video episode about politics in Olympia--including the best fifteen seconds of political film we've seen in ages tucked in at the very end.
• Videogum wrote about 'Nightline's Great Satan Debate--apparently it was a laugh riot!
• The Daily Weekly got a hot tip about a man wearing a jacket printed all over with Asian call-girl ads. Weird.

According to the Daily Weekly, Nickels is "moving forward" with his decision to ban guns on city-owned property despite opposition from citizens and state government leaders alike, and the ban could go into effect as soon as May. As the Weekly's Don Ward points out, the constitutionality of Nickels' ban will almost certainly be tested in court; critics of the mayor's executive order (including Seattlest) are looking to state law regarding legal possession of firearms to soundly trump any city law forbidding someone with a license to carry a gun on city property. We predict (read: profoundly hope) the ban will in fact be found unconstitutional. It would also be nice if all this uproar provokes productive dialogue about how to effectively counter and prevent gun violence in Seattle without blatant disregard for state law. more ›

• Capitol Hill Seattle has the sad news that north Broadway deliciousness El Tajin has closed their doors for good, rather than for renovation. We happened to think El Tajin had some of the best Mexican food in Seattle and we're tres triste we didn't get to have one more molé before they closed their doors.
• Happily, not every good family restaurant in Seattle is shutting down. The West Seattle Blog has an interview with the Otis of the OK Corral, the latest and greatest BBQ joint west of Harbor Avenue.
• Georgetown got a grocery store! Hip hip, hooray!

Since no one reads the Weekly's blogs, we figured the post where Chris Kornelis pulls for Sarah Palin in tonight's debate might have passed under the radar. more ›
