It's far more appealing when it is on blimps. Bring back blimps!

K X One commented on Now Closed.
The First Hill Bar and Grill deserved to close. As a night shift medical worker at various institutions on Pill Hill over the years, I (& many others) would have embraced a place nearby where we could get a steak and a whiskey at 8AM. Instead, when I ventured in there they were surly and unhelpful and acted like I was putting them out ordering food, much less a simple drink. No better when they reopened after what seemed like a long hiatus either. Good riddance.
Also, Herfy's Burgers in Fremont is gone.

K X One commented on Slog Poll: Where Can a Guy Drink in This Town?.
I too, on occasion flout the law by drinking a beverage on the street. Usually on my way to the bus on my way downtown, if I've been drinking and am going to continue drinking, I'll walk out of the house with a beer in my hand and stroll down the sidewalk sipping it. Waiting for the SWAT team to take me down as I do so.
* Thanks Fnarf! I would've gotten that wrong up until a minute ago!

Looks like the Times couldn't handle the increased traffic of the Slog readers or they didn't want us there, because the video link is down now.

K X One commented on Dems' Budget Would Tax Bicycles to Pay for Freeways.
I disagree that bicycles have any impact on the roads. Especially in comparison to large trucks and asshats who run their studded snow tires all year. If there weren't any cars and no weather effects you could probably cycle over our roads for hundreds of years without seeing any effect.

@ (unregistered commenter) Thomas122, yes Swedish wasn't planning on providing DWD services before Providence took them over*. That is different from Catholic hospitals not even allowing their staff to educate patients as to options.
* Swedish sold its staff on the "affiliation" as a "new kind of partnership, not a take-over". This "new kind of partnership" included a new board that was mostly made up of Providence executives and immediate changes to how Swedish operated. After about a year of working under the new system I think even the most optimistic staff are realizing that Swedish got took over and talk of "getting in line with industry standards" actually means "do more with less, so you can suffer and be closer to god".
It's especially galling to have Catholics cutting staffing and supplies to the bone so that they can make a greater profit (Catholic Health Services MAKES money) so they can use that money to gold plate more crucifixes to rape children with and then spend more money protecting those child-rapists.
We need to actually contact our legislators and got something done about these threats to the health and safety and rights of all of us.

No, the original report was badly written.
The world is full of idiots, the US perhaps more so. Some of them show up at the range in blouses that shell casings will fall into and don't have the self control to be safe about the deadly weapon in their hands.
Many, many, more operate motor vehicles unsafely every day, but keep up that divisive drumbeat.

No public money? "Sizable donations from the ...UW Medical Center..." um, that's the University of Washington, the state university, funded by our tax dollars.
