The readers of The Stranger regret that Charles Mudede, associate editor of The Stranger and deeply, cripplingly fucked-up guy, was allowed to use The Stranger and Slog as his an outlet for his disjointed, disturbing ramblings in 2008.
We are keeping our fingers crossed for 2009, and we keep his daughter in our prayers.

This avid reader of Slog and Number-One-Charles-Mudede-Fan-4Evr regrets that assholes like "Enough Already" are still allowed access to this mystical portal we call the Information Super Highway.

For shame.

I'm convinced that at some point in time calling things gay will be the equal of calling something lame which was a word used to describe the disabled back in the day. The word will also be used on a local late night comedy television show in a bit called the "gay list".

This piece typifies what's wrong with The Stranger. Really, you're all a bunch of navel-gazing egotists and it just gets worse over the years. Your fear of becoming irrelevant is manifesting itself in increasingly juvenille self-importance (let's say "fuck" every fourth sentence - how edgy).

Pull your heads out of your collective asses - you're boring me to tears. My advice: give your listings editor a raise, that's all this publication and web site is good for these days.

Dan Savage apparently regrets only that the world is not large enough for his ego.

Hey Evan, if you don't like it you don't have to read it. Shut the fuck up you whiny bastard.

"Intern for The Stranger's Theater Section—[...must] believe mindless data entry is a means to getting head." That should have read: 'a means to getting ahead."

So, you're telling me all my time doing mindless data entry was for nothing? thanks guys. thanks a lot.

I think pretty much everyone regrets reading this article.

You are all so full yourselves. It's weird how big your egos have gotten.

I've lived in lots of cities and read lots of weeklies but nothing compares to this, it's just so arrogant and weird. Dull if it weren't so weird. But distasteful, really.

The Stranger should regret calling Nick Licata irrelevant, and reducing his leadership to 8-1 votes-- as if he was never Council President, as if he never improves legislation with amendments, as if he does not provide important information to journalists they would not get elsewhere.

Is the Stranger engaging in willful distortion or is it just lazy with facts?

So, do you guys regret misspelling 'Les Savy Fav' in this article? Because you should.

I thought it was funny. I like the Stranger because they are so open about their bias. The daily papers have an obvious bias and claim they don't.

Why is The Stranger no longer distributed on the West side of Puget Sound? Specifically central Kitsap county.

Mr Savage, PLEASE invite Mr Cooper back and make out with him on camera. For America!

I regret that my gay brother voted for McCain, even though it made Christmas dinner all the more fun as we taunted him.

But I still think Charles Mudede is the heart and soul of the Stranger, even if you do pervy things with your interns ...

Yeah, I haven't heard much recent D&B that's good, with the exception of a kiwi group called The Upbeats.

I think all of us breakbeat fans are checking out Dubstep these days.

I will probably regret posting this comment....nevermind...I'll stop before I regret it.

Who're these people? Savage obviously has a way out but the rest of these shlamazels are going to turn 45 with nothing but regret for what they are doing with their lives now.

Dan, you'll obviously be getting letters soon from people who are having their doms tie them up and make them read the Stranger. Coming from a die-hard "the TV has an off switch for a reason" person, I can't begin to even imagine sitting down, clicking on and voluntarily reading something you claim to find boring, disjointed, disturbed, whatever. Read something else, people! Anyway, I for one found this piece entertaining (so there), although we are still lacking in information about what it is an editorial director does and may in fact, not feel complete until we have it.

Hey , you guys,

I sit here 10,000 miles away and you are the only sensible humorous people I know. I drove a taxi in Capitol Hill for six years because the folks up there were so interesting. I love to laugh with you at yourselves.

Sorry to be so serious at your party. You get like that living in Catholic, homophobic, Mafia ridden Sicily!!

I like you guys but you're obviously part of the problem. This and some movie listings is your contribution to our city? Really? This is your contribution and then you have the audacity, ECB, to "hate" professional women who buy a sled for their kids? I'm guessing that woman contributes more to Seattle than this tripe does. You're all pretty pathetic in my view.

I regret advertising in The Stranger this year. I only hope that other local businesses learn that advertising here is a waste of money.

People take themselves too seriously.

The Stranger is anything but perfect, but at least the staff can laugh at themselves!

It is what it is. & it makes me laugh.

I don't regret not reading The Stranger--and apparently plenty of people don't regret not advertising in, either.

"Dan Savage, editorial director of The Stranger, deeply regrets his failure to meet former senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis."

More especially since the Republican National Convention wasn't even in Minneapolis.

I heart The Stranger!
You make me laugh!
And for some reason this one sent me into a fit of all out giggles...

"Stranger film editor Lindy West regrets drunkenly telling erstwhile Stranger managing editor Brad Steinbacher that he should call his backpack his "Steinbachpach."

I regret not having a paper copy of The Stranger to show my co-workers in Sacramento. Now that I can't work at the P-I someday (most likely), The Stranger's next on my list. Need a copy-editing intern?
