Over the past year and a half or so of Hillary Clinton's hugely historic run for the presidency, we've been thoroughly impressed with the legacy she's left as the first of her kind. She's undoubtedly owned every single debate—except for that one where Edwards came alive for a minute and sounded like a real person who had more going for him than being the son of a mill worker. She made sure health care......

According to our current addiction, the Democratic Convention Watch blog, some less than stellar reporting created confusion over the status of Rep. Jay Inslee's endorsement of Clinton. Inslee, who represents Washington's 1st Congressional District (Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Peninsula, north King County and parts of Snohomish County) is a super delegate. As we all know by now, the super delegates could be the ones to decide the nomination this year if the pledged delegate counts......

Unlike Kevin Henry, Congressman Brian Baird, of Washington's third district, has endorsed Barack Obama. He joins Congressman Adam Smith, Governor Gregoire, and Pearl Jam as state leaders on Obama's side.

As our friend who sent us the info announced this news, so shall we: "GAY GASP! Hillary's coming to town tonight!" Okay, so we were at an event on Saturday, when Maria Cantwell joined longtime local Hillstumpers Jay Inslee and Ron Sims for a chat about Mrs. Clinton's Clean Energy Plan. A young woman who claimed to be a UW student stood up and asked the three if they could do something to get......

This Seattlest will be heading to a private party tonight, where we will celebrate among our favorite people the fact that Super Tuesday is FINALLY here. But, if you're looking for somewhere more out-on-the-town to get your drink on and watch the returns trickle in, and pancakes aren't your bag, here's the guide for you. Most of these events start at 5pm, and they're all free. Go America! The Paragon is hosting an indie......

One week from today, Seattlest is looking forward to heading over to Mt. Zion Baptist Church in our "Just Vote for the Bitch" t-shirt to be the lone Capitol Hill caucuser for Hillary Clinton. More on that later. Today, there's a talk in South Seattle featuring some of The Hillinator's local politistar supporters. We told you the other day about how John Kerry was here to pump up support for Obama, so it's only fair......

We have no doubt that one day we'll all live in little Matrix pods where a single media conglomerate will spoon-feed us newspapers, TV news, radio and, yes, blogs and collect our excreted dollars and votes for their own nefarious purposes. Jay Inslee, however, thinks that future may not be inevitable, and blathers on about it below. If you're of like mind get thee to Town Hall on Friday for the final public hearing on......

TONIGHT at Meany Hall, it's "Climate Change and the Future of Life on Earth," a two-hour multi-media presentation designed to freak your climatological shit out.

Author of The Sixth Extinction, Dr. Leakey will talk "about our impact on the environment"...um, no, he's gonna open up a can of knowledgifying whup-ass is what. The Sixth Extinction......

Right out of the gate we're going to D up on Jordan, pressure him a bit and maybe force a few turnovers. MARIA CANTWELL for U.S. Senate. And since we finally figured out how to beat the Bulls' fullcourt press we're going to get a lot of transition baskets from Payton driving to the hole and Sam Perkins from the arc. A pull-up jumper over Longley for JAY INSLEE for U.S. State Rep. A......

-Rep. Dave Reichert-Clouseau continues to "investigate" whether the earth revolves around the sun whether global warming is caused by humans. -Was The Stranger wrong about that whole urban archipelago thing? Maybe, says The Stranger. -How many times does Defective Yeti have to say it? He's not into yetis. He's not into cute yetis and he's certainly not into cute wampas, so knock it off already. -Now is your chance to help the Capitol Hill......

We were all set to write a little thing about the minimum wage protest tomorrow and belittle it along the lines of "who cares about the national minimum wage when our state's is already the highest in the country" without knowing anything about it (as is our wont), but we accidentally stopped to read what was being protested. HR 5970, which has passed the House and is now heading to the U.S. Senate, contains......
