Love The Stranger. Hate Tim Eyman.

God, I love The Stranger. It’s one of Seattle’s free, alternative newspapers and the writing is caustically sarcastic and fabulous. Here’s an excerpt about Tim Eyman, a conservative Washingtonian who can best be described as a political hemorrhoid:

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3 – Speaking of alleged hate crimes: Today Last Days turns to the stinky wad of shit that is Tim Eyman, the compunction-free fucktard who this week capped his splashy pseudo-career of ballot-initiative mongering by filing a referendum and initiative to put the freshly passed House Bill 2661 on the November ballot. As readers will remember, HB 2661 outlawed discrimination against homosexuals in matters of employment, housing, and banking. Should Eyman have his way, the rights of gays and lesbians to claim the same protections as other minorities would be put to public vote. Never mind the inherent stupidity of deciding minority rights though majority opinion; for now, Last Days is simply content to envision Eyman roasting on a spit in Hell.

Anyway, The Stranger is also cool because they have enough cajones to take a stand for free speech and publish the Danish cartoons.
