Ha! You probably thought this was a post about Bush leaving office in January. No, the error of which we speak tonight has been in existence far longer than DubYa doomed, stupid disaster of a Presidency. Our good friend Cardinal Ugenesis alerts us to the demise of an American legend: The brand was then hailed as a marketing coup, an ingenious way to sell beer—or rather, a clear, beerlike solution—to consumers who eschewed traditional suds. But ...

"Sound Transit HQ," by Seattlest Flickr contributor romulusnr We love the bus. We ride it whenever we can. We try to convince our friends, family, and neighbors to ride the bus. We even offered sexual favors to our girlfriend if she would start riding the 41 from her Northgate crib to her downtown office. (She declined; we broke up. Draw your own conclusions.) Last night, the P-I ran a story about Sound Transit having problems accurately determining ...

OBAMA! OBAMA!: No, not that Obama. In fact this event has nothing to do with the President-Elect and everything to do with art--really bad art, to be specific. Spend your Thursday night enjoying (or eviscerating) the Official Bad Art Museum of Art (acronym: OBAMA) at Cafe Racer. Drink some booze, hear a band (called "God's Favorite Beefcake", no less), and enjoy glitter paintings of Elvis...could anything be better? We didn't think so. Band at 8p.m. ...

Conference call this morning with Uncle Howard, who says there's nothing to worry about, really. Those Dunkin Donuts commercials, nah; America runs on Starbucks, folks. Micky D? A low-rent interloper. Cut the price of $4 lattes and you imply that Starbucks might not be a premium company after all. Coffee taste tests? Don't even think about it. Loyalty cards for sale in bulk at Costco, on the other hand, that's classy. The market lapped it ...
