For the record I don't hate the SLUT for the cost. My dislike stems from being a (former)employee and volunteer of the neighborhood which used to be known as Cascade, before Paul Allen bought it. I h...

While plastic bags may be easy for us to recycle (throw them in the bin), they are actually a pain in the ass for the recyclers. Seattle only started accepting them because people were putting them in...

"Asshat" is a new one. I do ever so love environmentalist autodidacts for whom such trivial things as "facts" and "reality" are mere inconveniences to be glossed over. For the record, I am an environm...

The Seattle Times is a study in arrogance and willful misinformation. The Seattlest is to be applauded for this correction. If the Times could learn this lesson it might save itself from its slow sl...

Great point. One thing that annoyed me about the endless monorail debates: people seldom acknowledged that monorail was a much cooler way to travel than the bus. (Or they seldom acknowledged that th...
