A rash of bomb mishaps has broken out in Grant County, according to the Seattle Times. We can't help but wonder if these Moses Lake folks were on the million-man terrorist watch list, and what consequent crazy connections the cops will concoct. (Yes, we wrote that sentence to see how many silly c-words we could string in a sentence.) Speaking of blowing up, did you catch the Fleet Foxes on Letterman last night? And, speaking......

This is a new one. Instead of fleeing arrest, a Moses Lake man crashed his car into a police parking lot gate to guarantee his arrest would happen. Officers inside the station heard the impact of the crash and responded immediately (very easy to do when it involves getting up and walking outside). The gate to the police parking lot was destroyed and the culprit, Allen J. Pavese, was backing away from the scene......

To the average damp Seattle dweller, life in eastern Washington's Moses Lake--complete with rodeos, farms, and arid landscape--may very well seem like a different world. But NASA believes that Moses Lake and its surrounding landscape better mimics life on the moon. That's why NASA has decided to test a prototype of a lunar vehicle near Moses Lake this summer.

Seattlest had the chance to catch the Mainstage Showcase on Saturday night and, well, color us blown away. Ticket info is available on their site. Two new showcases will run next weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Though it......

Seattlest's AP US History teacher, George Henry, was something of a rabble-rouser at our Salt Lake City high school. At the time, we only barely appreciated that we were getting a hands-on miniature lesson in civil disobedience from the only African-American teacher at the school. What we knew at the time was that when the school board started debating talking about condoms and sex ed, George Henry started one of his lectures by replacing every......

--A Seattle lawyer is officially in on the Menu Foods Ltd sue-a-thon. Local pets blog Itchmo Seattle is claiming a vastly different number of dead pets across the country than we've seen in the MSM, by the way. Which is closer to the truth: The P-I's 13 or the blog's 1,000? --Seattlest had a few science teachers in our high school days that should have been carried out of the building with an administrator......
