I like the Coast. I really do. I read it faithfully every week. I derive plenty of giggles from Love the Way we Bitch. I just wish the Coast didn’t have to be soooooooooooooo lefty all the time. Not everyone who reads the Coast is a cycling-vegetarian-eco-warrior-indie-music-loving-bleeding heart. Some of us – gasp – drive cars, eat meat, buy produce that isn’t organic, shower daily, wear clothes that aren’t made of hemp, and listen to bands that have a following of more than 40. I just wish there was happy medium between the conventional papers and the uber-left coast.

Watch out – you’ll get crucified for driving a car on this site!
NQAL please ignore Frannie. No one gets crucified for driving a car. They only get crucified for making idiotic assertions that having a car is a determining factor for being a good parent. Frannie is just sore because she was taken to task a little while ago.And Frannie, if you continue to whine about this issue in unrelated threads I’m going to let the others have their way with you. You are, by definition of your actions again, acting like a troll.
Anybody going to Gus’s this weekend?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Why is anyone surprised that an *alternative weekly* is leftist and indie???? It’s like asking why the Bible is full of Judeo-Christian dogma…That’s the whole freakin’ point, you jackasses!
Oh, I know. But its fun to poke fun just the same. Black Label beer anyone?
The way I see it, the far right and the far left are so hot and horny to wrap everyone in their zealousnous blankets they have both forgotten that 90% of folks have a centrist view of the world (weather they are aware of it or not). Recently the phrase ‘fair and balanced’ has become anathema, but in reality that IS the stance that all responsible and reasonable media should be taking.I read The Coast for the same reason I read McLean’s – to see how the people who are convinced they are mankind’s only hope are going to save the world…and for a laugh.Read Streetfeet!
I drive a car, I live in a house, I eat meat, I read the Coast, I smoke, I drink, I fuck (alot), I know what you mean.
