Nothing says Valentine’s Day like curling up in satin jammies with our favorite partners: a box of red wine and a Harlequin romance novel.
While America went gaga over college football recruit-signing this week, our sniffer twitched with mixed emotions.
A special hall of fame should be set aside for pro athletes who return to their hometowns. Not the muscleheads who show up like conquering heroes, sign a few autographs and leave again. We save our admiration for the ex-jocks who come home, settle down with their families and contribute to the community.
Sixty days is the scheduled length of the 2012 legislative session in O-Town. It’s also the typical length of a breeding season for cattle.
We the people of the 253 are well acquainted with serial killers, so it shouldn’t come as a shock that a T-Town icon would turn up as the cover art for a violent piece of pulp fiction.
Try as we might to ignore the holiday phenomenon known as "Tacoma elf Storage, " it manages to come back to us every year like Aunt Smellinda's fruitcake.
Get ready, folks. Santa Schnoz is coming to town with lotsa swag in our bag and a sleigh that moves slower than an ice rink Zamboni. After all, it’s pulled by a single reindeer (a minor-leaguer named Rhubarb).

We always knew a trip to Parkland could be dangerous, but not like this.
The big cheese at Tacoma Public Schools is one smart cookie. Once in a while, he might outsmart himself.
Elective democracy can be a grueling civic duty, and this week we felt as unfit to exercise it as a wheezy fat man running on a treadmill in scuba gear.
You’d have to be awfully naive to swallow the notion that anyone from Washington state could ever be elected U.S. president. Not even Dale Washam, with his White House-ready head of hair.
Pity how campaign season in Meekerville has turned foul this year, reminding us that you can’t spell Puyallup without “P-U.”
When Gov. Chris Gregoire announced in June she won’t run for a third term, she might as well have conceded the point we made a year ago in this space: She’s run out of ideas and energy.
