"What your doing is important, just not actually important enough for ME to be there, so enjoy the next best thing as a consolation prize: donuts! And in case you forgot, fat people disgust me. Enjoy!"

@Asshole: They were from me, not Tim or the paper.

@5: I'm in upstate New York right now. Westlake isn't exactly within biking distance at the moment. But donuts should, of course, be enjoyed in moderation by people of whatever size.

@1: Yes, let's be sure it's all about Dan!

Dan, your statement of support and solidarity with your fellow Seattlites is WONDERFUL. If only other high profile people in the Seattle community would make the same gesture.

Yeah, it couldn't have been Tim Keck, cheapjack Stranger publisher and ticket-tolling gouger.

Go Occupiers-Seattle! Since neither political party is willing to bring the banks to account for all the under-water mortgages that folks now own, the people must do it. Banks should be criminally liable for loaning 120% on any property, anytime, under any circumstances. Appalling.
I hope this movement takes over in both the mortgage industry AND in getting some increased taxation on the filty rich.

In all seriousness, that's a nice gesture for the protesters from wherever you currently are, Dan, filming your MTV show thing. Fuck all y'all who are hating on the anti-corporate protests.

Don't feed the anonytrolls, Dan, feed us! Feed us donuts! :-)

@ Dan, that was very sweet of you to send them donuts. I was just down there on my lunch break to show support, and they looked like they could use the snacks. It's been a long wet night.

To Hell with the nay-sayers, Dan: it was a thoughtful gesture and, I expect, much appreciated.

Pot doughnuts? Seriously? People who live in Seattle can just pick up the phone and get pot doughnuts delivered anywhere, anytime?

@20....nah, that's what they do in Portland. In Seattle, people just rely on the placebo effect.

Ok, for you out of towners, visit http://www.toppotdoughnuts.com Top Pot is our version of Portland's Voodoo Doughnuts. In my opinion, they're much better.

Agreeing with all those that think it was a nice gesture, especially with you being in NY. Thanks, Dan.

Don't be flattered- he sent you carbs. To a gay man, that's worse than rat poison.

Dan, don't stop there. The occupants on Market St in San Francisco want a free handout of twenty dozen doughnuts.

Occupy Top Doughnuts.

Take over the top floor and use free Wifi.

Bottomless coffee == TAARP for masses.

If you'd done this anonymously, Dan, it wouldn't mean as much. Thank you for sending the treats and for openly showing support.

The irony of the 99% protesting while being nourished by Big Doughnut is sugary and delicious. Look at their agreements with Starbucks, the Sounders, and the Seahawks. They're totally corporate now, man.

Last I checked Starbucks, the Sounders and The Seahawks aren't ripping-off peoples 401k plans.

Also I'd like to point out that woman creeper and rapist Bailo has an avatar relating to another murdered woman.

I've been pretty down on the Occupy protests the past few days, but I've got to admit: this was a classy move to show support even from the other side of the country, Dan. Maybe they don't have some sort of action plan, but "we're pissed off and we're not going away" isn't a bad message to send under these circumstances.

Hey Stranger Readers...Where are YOU? Thanks for the doughnuts Dan Savage, they were delish...but where have YOU been? And, Cap Hill hipsters and the LGBTQ community? Where is YOUR support? I called and asked to talk to Dan. The guy that answered the phone said. He isn't here. I said where's your readers. He said: Oh, they don't come off the hill. I said: You can get them to the bars, but not here? He said I would have to ask the media to do that. i said: I'm calling the STRANGER aren't I? He said...Oh. And transferred me to Dominic Holder. A reporter. For this NEWSPAPER... So Stranger...stop pointing fingers and get out here with your readers. yourself. We need you too. Susan Mason

No really, I totally overdid it on the doughnuts and coffee, now I know why cops eat those things! I felt about 10 feet tall, rippling muscles, boundless energy, single minded desire to hold my tent at all costs. Man, did I have to take a piss when those cuffs went on and I sat in the tank for four hours. Next time send some cough drops and nicotine gum for all the fiends who can't fight the revolution without blowing a butt every 10 minuets.
