As Goldy and I were perusing these pictures Kelly O took last night at our Town Hall School Board debate, Goldy remarked that all the contenders, through no fault of their own, resemble characters from Little Shop of Horrors. What do you think?

  2. Yeah I thought nothing in Seattle could be as “whites-only” as Town Hall too, but there is an African-American running for re-election as a School Board Director. You wouldn’t know it by these photos though.

  3. Like the Little Shop of Horrors, I’ll bite:
    A woman can’t be smart AND attractive AND a mom AND engaged in civic affairs?

    You are such a 1950s douche.

    And if you give us Harium the Slug for another 4 years of doltishness on the school board, I’ll send the Venus FlyTrap your direction.

  7. I’m voting for a working vacation to Damascus for Cienna Madrid. The incessant belittling of honorable people campaigning for unpaid, thankless School Board duties indicates Ms. Madrid is sancimoniously clueless about the underlying respect required within a functioning democracy. A few weeks with government rooftop snipers might increase her respect of a journalist’s responsibilities within a still-free society. Or perhaps The Stranger could just fire her for grammar school playground intellect?

  11. Or include some funny shots and critical comments about Charles Muadea’s (can’t spell his last name) daughter’s hair.

    Thats the next step isn’t it Goldie?

    Add coward to the list.
