Dan Savage has declared me a "Sicko" over at the Slog, based on the whimsical conjecture about the Stranger's newsroom I proffered at this post.

First, Dan should know my wife, many of my friends (especially from college), and some selected former colleagues in the Gorton mafia do indeed know about the warped and twisted thoughts floating through my brain. It's a side of this author not often seen at Sound Politics, but it's there. Oh, is it there.

Second, there is something fascinating about being described as a "sicko" by the author of the infamous Savage Love column. It's almost high comedy. Yet I'll embrace it nonetheless.

Lastly, to be fair to Dan and as I noted in the comments in response to him at my original post, I don't know what his staff looks like so am thus lacking in the visual of the act I alluded to. Dan, however, knows full well what they look like. This may be contributing to his dismay.
