  • It’s the official best time ever to buy a house in Washington. Just set aside some of that vast expendable income you’ve got—what, you don’t?
  • Before you rant about the presence of so many UW and WSU athletic brass on this list of the state’s highest paid employees, remember these coaches aren’t paid by the taxpayers, but by their programs’ self-generated revenue streams. And many of the other five UW officials on the top 10 get some or all of their salary from grants or other non-state sources.
  • The state’s going to forcibly evict the homeless who’ve set up sleeping quarters alongside I-5, again.
  • You ready for the repositioning of canned coffee as a hipster nostalgic comfort item?
  • Remember that Rick Perry religious rally last weekend, with all the fringe-right-wing and racist/homophobic preachers? Turns out more than three times that event’s audience went to a free school supplies giveaway in the same city that same day.
  • One of those “a new study reports” stories claims rich people are “less empathetic” than lower-class folk. One of the study’s makers concludes that “our data say you cannot rely on the wealthy to give back.”
  • The English riots: It’s the income disparity, and the despair of the non-zillionaires.
