Seattlest grew up in a very small town in Central Florida. In our immediate area, we could count seven colleges. That doesn't include the University of Miami or Florida State, UWF, UNF, USF, the Art Institutes, and other colleges and universities (Obama's demographic). Florida is not, contrary to popular belief, peopled entirely by retirees (Clinton's demographic). Most of the folks around our small hometown are very blue collar, there are a lot of fern......

First of all, let us say that we didn't plan our Super Tuesday get-together as an Obama event. We support Obama; we've even given him $$.

This Saturday, Washingtonians will caucus with 80 Democratic delegates up for......

Tonight's the night: The smartest trivia players in Seattle gather at the Old Pequliar for eighty questions. At stake: cash -- all the entry fees, doubled by the bar. Seattlest James is hosting, because it's the first Tuesday of the month. (It's also Super Tuesday, so he'll be glancing at the bar's television sets to see if "yes we can" translates into "yes we did.") Want a free pitcher of beer? Be the first......

Since you're reading this, we can only assume which event you’ll be choosing. Yet, it’s never a good idea to completely ignore a holiday as delicious as Mardi Gras. Especially because it’s also Shrove Tuesday, which means pancakes. We’ll let Professor Wikipedia explain: "Shrove Tuesday is......
