And the Stranger couldn't at least have sent a photographer to the high school game? :(

@1: Not unless the game was on Capitol Hill.

@2

I question that premise, too. Didn't they once send someone to Oso?

@2

Oops, those were different thoughts. I meant I question whether they would have gotten to something on Capitol Hill, too.

"Kshama, you have to understand that you don’t have the history and knowledge of the African-American experience," Banks says in the KUOW debate. "You cannot speak for us."

No one candidate/elected official can know every single constituent's life experience. It's just not possible. But when candidates ARE elected, they are elected to represent everyone and to make a good faith effort to include all voices. I think Sawant has done that, over and over.

I just took a quick look at the two candidates websites. KS has statements on numerous issues, including women's rights and queer rights. I didn't see anything of the sort on PB's site. (I was looking to see if PB has a position on abortion rights.)

I did find that PB wants victims of property crimes to her Council office (after she's elected, obviously) and that she plans to have a weekly meeting with Chief O'Toole (or a representative, I guess), to go over each crime. Is that something that is in any way even feasible?

I held my breath and started reading the comments under the Seattle Times 'Satanist' story. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people stood up for the separation of church and state, and cheered on the Satanists. Go Team Satan, Go!

$2,900/month luxury apartments for people who generally won't even be here for longer than a year? Just call it a hotel. And someone actually called it a "deal"? If that's a deal, then the market is failing us.

Documentation of identity is not required in order to board an airplane. I was arrested and jailed over this in 2009. In 2011, a jury saw through the lies and acquitted me of all charges. I sued the police and airport security guards who were involved. Last spring, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on appeal of dismissal of my lawuit.

@10: But you do draw the line on, women, children and animal sacrifices, right?

@5: If it doesn't happen on Capitol Hill, you won't read about it in The Stranger. (Unless their "reporters" saw the story in the Seattle Times.)
