As someone who actually -lives- in the Seattle area, (which includes Redmond, or GatesVille as it is sometimes called), let me just say that The Seattle Post-Intelligencer may be the oldest major newspaper in the State of Washington, but it is not the one with the largest circulation. The circulation of the Seattle Times beats it about two-to-one, and the Times has better funnies in it, which is my own personal major criterion of a newspaper's quality. I subscribe to both papers, partly to see differing viewpoints, but mostly for access to more comics features. There are some (myself included) who would voice the opinion that calling the Seattle P.I. a "legitimate news source" might be quite a stretch of the imagination.
They say there are three signs of stress in your life. You eat too much junk food, you drive too fast and you veg out in front of the TV. Who are they kidding? That sounds like a perfect day to me!
