Once again, the compare and contrast and occasionally columnar comparison of the contents of the weekly papers falls victim to the obligations of trying to get a PhD. [Ed: this is why real web personalities get "guest 'bloggers"]. Once again, you’re on your own to figure out which is the weekly for you.

The main thing that you need to know is that this week’s papers don’t feature SIFF pullout guides, the “FLIP-FLOPS!” story advertised on the cover of the Stranger is more about the Microsoft Gay Rights (or Not) saga and not about U-district footwear, and the Seattle Weekly shares your sadness about Star Wars displacing SIFF at the Cinerama [#]. Finally, this week’s “Table of Contents” in the Stranger is the best ever.

As ever, we apologize for the inconvenience.
