Seattle in the time of the great recession:
Charles Mudede—who writes about film, books, music, and his life in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, the USA, and the UK for The Stranger—was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. He has no memory... More by Charles Mudede

Really ignoring the news, loading up Slog with baloney today.

Hey, I like Obama. But this sucks. Crony fundraisers should be ambassadors to Bermuda or Nepal, maybe, not the freaking

I am sorry, but a $28,000 Chris Craft Cavalier is no more a “yacht” than a $22,000 Prius is a “limousine”.
