Goodbye New SAM?

Nobody knows right now what exactly the utter destruction of Washington Mutual will mean for the city of Seattle (outside of the giant blow to our civic pride) but it looks like not only could we be losing our biggest bank but also our shiny new art museum.  Check out this image which was posted [...]

Wow. Just Wow.

Freshly- out, openly gay Australian diver Matthew Mitcham scored a huge upset at the Beijing Olympics yesterday (Beijing time) when he took Gold in the Men’s 10m Platform Diving event, ending China’s hope of a diving gold sweep.  Matthew was recently featured on the cover of The Advocate magazine and his victory is a proud [...]
