In the "State of the City" address on Tuesday, Mayor Greg Nickels introduced his new plan to make housing more affordable in Seattle. Definitely something Seattle needs to tackle with verve and determination, we just don't think anyone is going to take the "Affordable Seattle Strategy" (ASS) that seriously. Then again, partially thanks to Mayor Nickels a few Seattlites do ride the S.L.U.T., so maybe it's right on par. The State of the City address also featured other great Mayor Nickels acronyms like SNAP (Seattle Neighborhoods Actively Prepare), SCAN (Seattle Climate Action Now), and while it's not an acronym ... "carbon taxes." Emphasis added, we assure you, by Mayor Nickels.

Doesn't matter whether you rebuild, retrofit or dig. Doesn't matter if the State Dep't of Transportation pretends they need to maintain the Viaduct's current capacity of 110,000 vehicles a day (even if The Stranger and others make it clear the number is closer to 75,000).

FUNNY: Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter are here to make you pee your pants at Neumo's tonight. If you never saw Stella, you probably blinked. It wasn't around very long (on television we mean). If you never saw The State, you probably did see The State but were just really high and don't remember. If you never saw Wet Hot American Summer, well sir or ma'am, that's a shame.

Ever since the Seattle Weekly burst like a pimple between the fingers of new owners New Times Media and sprayed former editorial staffers in every direction like so much pus, Seattlest has been combing the internets for tell-all rants. We're just going to need a little more than the P-I's account, sorry. Until yesterday, nothing. Our combing skills are apparently for shit, though, becuase yesterday we found a Geov Parrish accounting of the slaughter right under our noses. We know he does that Eat The State thing, but, you know, newspapers blow up, time elapses, you eventually quit combing so hard.

Its okay everyone you may un-board your windows and come down from the hills. The State Supreme Court’s upholding of the Defense of Marriage Act means that God will not be seeking revenge on our state through a “natural” disaster.

ID=1984: Continuing on yesterday's Database Of Oppression theme, Mayor Nichols is pushing a city database to hold information on troublesome night spots.

Seattlest's newest feature enters its second week with this installment, which makes it the most successful new feature launch in recent memory. Make sure to tune in next Tuesday as the drama unfolds: Will Seattle Market actually play three weeks in a row and become the longest running series in the history of Seattlest, or will it peter out after this lackluster performance?

Our right to elect a violent, delusional felon to the mayoralty of Seattle is in jeopardy. If you care about freedom, read on.

The Seattle Monorail, which has already endured more obloquy than Lindsay Lohan's dietician, is in trouble again.
