Congratulations! You had a great year, didn't you? You went on that cool vacation, ate at that new restaurant, went to see that really good band play. You played in the snow and pet a dog or two. You either kept your job or lost it but, either way, that made headlines. You elected a new president all by yourself. Yesterday, Dwight Pelz emailed to call you the Democrat of the Year. Now, here on Seattlest, you're being named the Seattlest Reader of the Year. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? (Okay, it's no "Time Person of the Year," but so what?) Where else is there to go but up? Go out and treat yourself tonight, reader. You're the best. more ›
