Going on Vacation.
Alan Braxe and Fred Falke salvage many songs, but even Falke couldn't untangle the boredom and ponceyness of this one. Sorry dudes.
I never thought I'd say "I miss The Bravery" :-/

Meanwhile in Vancouver.
I'd be all for that sign if it didn't have the last line. The Plastic Mafia still has pull in BC too? :-/

McGinn: The Mac Mayor.
I bet a Mallahan election dinner at the Edgewater alone (something that likely would have happened if Mallahan won) would have cost more than a few extra Mac computers and iPhones.

@39 Yes, the budget is so bad, let's buy nothing to help who we elected, and communicate with sticky notes instead. Because computers cost millions of dollars obviously.

If someone who's going to lead needs extra time to ramp up to a whole different computer platform, isn't that more of a waste of money and time?
You'd all be complaining if McGinn said "I will take time to learn this Windows Vista or XP thing" surely.

This thread says a lot more about most of the commenters here than the McGinn team.
The Seattle city government is not all going to convert to Mac just because the McGinn team is more comfortable with Macs. It's not brain science to get Macs and Windows machines to coexist and talk to each other.
It's probably healthy if we have a city government that familiarizes itself with both platforms (and Linux too) to sone degree.
...I say this as someone happy with a Windows XP desktop machine plus an iPhone.
