We have gathered some of the top political writers in the country and asked them to discuss the presidential race throughout the year. Today they review Tuesday's doings in New Hampshire. Seattlest: Thanks for joining us again. We’ll start by asking what do you think made the difference for Senator Clinton in New Hampshire? Jeff (The New York Times): Is what happened in New Hampshire a pro-Hillary movement, or is it a reaction by Stubborn......

Everything we know about dodging the draft by heading to Canada we learned from The Brothers K and popular mythology. So, we don't know much. Little before our time, there. Despite the fact that today's army is all volunteer (and today's Canada is more Conservative) there are still some soldiers waiting out Iraq up north. Almost everyone that this Salon article mentions seems to have already pulled a shift in the Middle East and is......

A friend of ours just told us a little story today about how her Marine boyfriend, recently back from a tour of duty in Iraq, tried to break up a drunken fight a couple months ago outside the Jack in the Box at Broadway and Denny. Our soldier in question was out late one night with a drunken friend, who decided that what he needed most out of life was the thrill of throwing......

You may have noticed all the rain recently. Here it is just mid-November and we've already beaten the previous record for rainiest November. But unless you were watching your family float away in your house, it might have just seemed "rainier than usual" to you. We took the precautionary step of buying a pair of military surplus rubber boots, but other than that...enh. That's where Sightline's Lessons I've Learned from my Rain Barrel post (first......

As an occasional Husky-watcher, we'll defer to Seattlest Seth on post-game analysis. But we can say that this was the single most boringly awful game we've ever seen at Husky Stadium. The Huskies assured us they weren't looking past the 0-9 Stanford Cardinal team. This afternoon, they looked past the entire football field. The talk show guys on the radio said they couldn't recall a more inept performance. It was like WWI trench warfare,......

Wednesday, October 4 >>>Central Library, 6:30-8:00pm. If you've been meaning to get a better handle on stem cell research, then... Wait, let's try that again. We'll just let this event speak for its sexy self: "Regeneration Gaps: Promises, Problems and Policies in Stem Cell Research" by Charles E. (Chuck) Murry, M.D., Ph.D. His research focuses on repair of the injured heart. See? You get out of the way, the poetry comes. Free, but you're......

The Boston Globe's Jeff Jacoby is disturbed by a disparity in the national media's treatment of Mel Gibson's liquored-up anti-semitic rantings versus Naveed Haq's shooting spree at the Jewish Federation: Unless you've spent the past week submersed in the Mariana Trench, you know that the intoxicated driver in Incident A was Hollywood's Mel Gibson, who railed at a Los Angeles County police officer about the "[expletive] Jews" and how "the Jews are responsible for all......

There's been a lot of talk about playwright Elizabeth Heffron's decision to use "abortion" in the title of her play. We're concerned about the use of the name "Mitzi." As you no doubt know, Mitzi reached its height of popularity in the 1960s (481st out of the top 1,000 girls' names), then fell off a cliff by the 1980s, no longer in the top 1,000 at all. What was Heffron thinking, picking such an......

There are many things that Seattle liberals hate: the increasing price of fleece vests, driving over 25mph on arterials, and when one of their senators votes for war in the Middle East. Senator Maria Cantwell is facing increasing pressure from those on the left because of her vote to authorize war in Iraq, bailing on an Alito filibuster, and voting to re-up the PATRIOT Act. Two weeks ago she was booed at one of her......

After being closed last year for reroofing, the Seattle Asian Art Museum opened January 14 with four new shows. The wily curators at SAAM knew you weren't paying attention, though, so they scheduled the Grand Reopening for this Saturday, the 21st. The celebration inside features "music, dance, and theater from Asian cultures," a grouping that includes Sumo wrestling and DJ Anup Shastri. There will be FREE Starbucks Coffee served between 10am and 1pm for the......
