Bill Simmons (a.k.a. "The Sports Guy") of ESPN isn't impressed with the Seahawks' trade for Deion Branch.

By this point it's pretty obvious that the Seattle Public School Board's strategy is to continue this shell game of school closures until students, parents and the public at large is so completely confused as to put up little or no struggle. And as if by magic, the budget will be balanced. If we were the sadistic type, your computer would currently be downloading a MIDI version of some clown music to further illustrate our point.

Town Hall - All the Thrill of Cable Access, Live! (TM). In Seattle, this is actually a draw. Maybe it's also due to their PBS-minded Upstairs Downstairs set-up.

Oh no, oh no, the ferries are a top target for the terrorists! The No. 1 target, in fact. Well, the No. 1 target for maritime terrorism, which is kind of like saying Cupcake Royale is the No. 1 target for cupcake terrorism. Just as we don't buy that Bad Men would threaten our cupcake supply, we are similarly unconvinced that any maritime target is likely to be the subject of an attack. When we put on our terrorist hats* and think like a terrorist, it just doesn't make any sense to sink a boat. What are they gonna do, commandeer a ferry and crash it into the Space Needle?

That's why God invented local politics writers.
