The AI Wars Come to Ravenna

There’s a contentious election in a normally sleepy North Seattle legislative district, with out-of-state money pouring in. Blame the robots.

  2. Shooting at Southcenter? I thought this was supposed to be the news, not a listing of daily occurances.

    If you are dumb enough to shop at Southcenter, you should be shot.

  3. Shooting at Vito’s last night also. That’s a real shame. I used to love to go to Vito’s before the the crowds found it, back when they had a restaurant.

  4. Joe Lieberman is on Meet The Press right now and still won’t apologize. They should have kicked his ass out. Hopefully the people of Connecticut will vote him out in two years. Smug bastard,

  5. @4,

    If you didn’t watch the Daily Show last week, go to Hulu and watch Wednesday’s episode right now. Stewart rips Lieberman a new one and it’s fucking hilarious.

  7. When I heard about the shooting at Southcenter in which again a young African American male was killed, and another will no doubt be spending 10-20 years in jail for I thought about all the effort people took to harp on Dan S. over his mentioning prop 8 exit polls. If all those people who have so much time to call him racist spent time when at risk teens like this, perhaps incidents like this would signifcantly be curtailed. Does anyone realize that most shooting victims in Seattle are young African American men? Does anyone know how many young men have died this way here , in the last year alone? And how many more will become incarcerated as a result of these acts? Yet so many people who claim they are advocating on behalf of African Americans spend more time haranging Dan over his Prop 8 articles……..

  8. #7, That’s because white liberals don’t want to hurt black people’s feelings by talking about how black culture in the US promotes a cheesy machismo whereby a man is not a man until he’s fathered several children by different women, and abandoned all of them.

    The women, likewise, have all those babies to show that someone loved them at one time – even if it was just for a few minutes.

    After they get past the cute age, and start becoming teenagers, they are pretty much left to fend for themselves with often just a marginal public school where the teachers are also expected to be parents, to guide them.

    Black folks get really really mad if you bring that up.

  13. 2 people shot in Rainer Valley tonight. One shot to death at Vito’s last night, a couple more shot at Southcenter Saturday. Like I said, THANK GOD, for all the time and effort everyone has put into criticizing Dan for his Prop 8 columns. There was no better way to help the AA community.

  14. You know what the problem is with promising to air out all of Bush’s records? They’ve got two months to shred whatever they want.
