Shit lighting and you two still look just fine. Cheers, happy Friday!

Are all the crashes a foreshadowing of what's imminent on Wall Street soon?
Bottoms up!

Good evening.

RE: SCOTUS nominee Kavanaugh accused of rape.

Who cares? For Republicans, rape is a feature, not a bug.

He'll be approved and sitting on the court in record time. Republicans are Alpha Bucks who take what they want from all the faggots and tell those cunt bitches to get in the kitchen and make them a sammich. democrats are beta cucks who take it up the ass.

"Nathalie Graham is a staff writer at The Stranger and the progenitor of Slog AM"

Staff writer, yes.
Progenitor of Slog AM no.

Also, how much payola did Linda give the Stranger to promote her new place?

Those drinks look expensive. What if you didn't buy them and saved your money instead.

Rinse and repeat, and all of a sudden you have some wealth created.

@4: Your commentary is a lot more agitated as of late, perhaps its the times we live in.

@7:

Same could probably said for your tone-policing...

@9: Yes, just imagine the torment Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are enduring as they anguish over their vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.

@5,

So what tipped you off that this was a paid promotional endorsement? The fact that she liked the drink, I guess? And I guess the only reliably objective and unpaid reviews are the negative ones. What an odd and depressing framework that must be for your reading pleasure.

@11 read The “review” of the place published yesterday and get back to me.

@11

You must be either amusingly naive about the way ad-supported periodicals work, or unaware of the level of ad buy Dershang has maintained with The Stranger over the past couple of decades.

Her bars are all the same, and perfectly agreeable if you like a rural-flavored shabby-chic aesthetic with drinks prices just slightly higher than the decor would suggest.

Linda has been quite eager over the past decade to break into the upper tier of the Haute Bar Food niche pioneered by the Spotted Pig, but to date, despite all the cheering from The Stranger, she hasn't been able to do it, mostly because she runs her shops with an iron cost-price-margin spreadsheet, and she repeatedly fires talented chefs who fall just short of making her numbers, rather than relinquish 0.3% margin to build the talent and staff stability required to crack into the culinary high-end.

She gets great reviews from the weekly paper she pumps ad money into, though.

Here's hoping that the RepubliKKKan Evil Regime will go up in flames before Kavanaugh is confirmed, the Democrats retake the House, and Mein Trumpfy, Mein Pencey ad nauseum get dragged off kicking and wailing on a yuuuuuuuuge garbage scow to Russia. Putin and The Kochs paid for this shit and got the dumbest of AmeriKKKans to wildly support it. Their consequences should bite them in the ass.
@4 Urgutha Forka: All the better to get the pigfuckers out of office, my dear.
@7 & @10: Just stick to your Cinnabons, sugarlips.

@16: Madame Defarge, you're in fine form, as usual.

@7,
It's the times we live in.

The united states is a nation in decline. It's sad to see but it also feels liberating to just get it out there and then let the cards fall where they may. Actually, in my opinion it'll be nice once the world stops looking to the US to solve all their problems and they look to China instead. I'd like the US to settle into a nice, calm, second world position like Italy or Spain or Greece or something.

@15
We are saying the same thing.

@19

Er... pretty much, yes?

Mr. blob appears to disagree, though.

@17: I get feisty as hell when my back is up, sugarlips.

@11

It's right there in plain sight: "Slog PM today is brought to you by this Strawberry Paloma."

It's written in such a way that you're not supposed to take it literally but there it is.

I hope there is lots of faux rustic nic-nacs and other such hipster dog whistles inside.

@25

One can smile whilst still rolling one's eyes, my friend.

@25: This has nothing to do with Nathalie. I'll smile a lot more once Mein Trumpfy, Mein Pencey ad nauseum are finally, thus permanently removed from the Oval Outhouse in straitjackets. This nutsy fascist regime should never have been sworn into office.

@27 -- We've all gone crazy,
Mourning all day and mourning all night,
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right.

I'm surprised Nathalie doesn't have a fatal truck crash photo (source: recent article in The Seattle Times, The Mix, Sunday, September 16, 2018). It has become a national epidemic growing at an alarming rate. 4,300 people have gotten killed getting rear-ended, T-boned, and in head-on collisions by 80,000 lb. semis that failed to slow down. And it's only going to get worse as traffic on I-5, I-405, I-90, etc. increases.

@28: So let's stop the batshit crazy, already.
Stop voting RepubliKKKan, people!
