I hope this means I'll get my bike back.

Quite nice. Thanks.
The current generation of jazz musicians who came of age during the glory days of hip hip are doing some extremely interesting stuff. I can never get enough of the Matthew Shipp/Antipop collaboration, and check out pretty much anything by Guillermo Brown when you have the opportunity. All weird and great.

Looking to Sharon Lee for advice on housing and homelessness is a tremendous step in the right direction. She's one of the most progressive voices in the city when it comes to housing issues, and was forever at loggerheads with Nickels' Office of Housing over their head-in-the-sand approach to the city's homeless problems. This bodes very very well for a genuinely well informed and proactive Mayor. And Joshua Curtis (who coincidentally holds McGinn's old job?) is a brain and hottie!

This post could be Exhibit A in explaining why the Stranger is such a vital outlet for American journalism. We've been reading about Wasilla and her Mayor for many months now, and this may be the very first piece that really looks at the town and gives us the straight dope on how Mayor Palin impacted the place.
In between the fat jokes and the music-scene log rolling, you've got the smarts to publish strong pieces of true observation coupled with smart analysis. Thanks. Keep it up.

Someday there will be a great book about how a bumbling liar of a politician was able to become an extremely popular and powerful figure at the same time that facts and accurate information were suddenly widely and copiously available. Needless to say, "Going Rogue" is not that book.

This just shores up her credentials as the ideal Republican spokesmodel.

I disagree with pretty much everything that 5250 has to say, but I liked his thought @4. He's probably right, and it's heartening. These people are a lot less scary with you realize they're the same drunk slobs who can barely muster the energy to light their farts on fire.

If nothing else, this bill finally puts to rest the idea that we have a two-party system. We've developed into one of those multi-party countries like Israel in which the center parties need to appease the fringes in order to get anything done. It won't work here any better than it does there - reasonable members of parliament see that it's hogwash, and by definition the extremists can't be satisfied. Now that they've successfully bullied Congress into accepting this crazy demand, the next one (and the next and the next and the next...) is just around the corner.
