[edit] A. Birch Steen
Ombudsman A. Birch Steen is almost certainly a joke, no more real than Private Eye's E. Jarvis Thribb. His voice is that of a stodgy older man who does not like the paper at all and makes remarks (on the table of contents page, lately) like, "For those uninterested in the news section (i.e., the bulk of Seattle), here's rundown: an article on Mayor Nickels, an article on Howard Dean, an article on a neighborhood, and an article on the monorail. In other words, the news section from last week, the week before that, the week before that...." or "Savage Love: A lazy column this week, as Savage is apparently on vacation. So why didn't he turn in a standard "greatest hits" column? Perhaps because there are no greatest hits to be found...." -- Jmabel | Talk 07:44, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Music Section
Okay, I realize that the Stranger is famous partially because of its support for local bands, but do we really need that behemoth of a list?Atinoda 05:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] PUSA Connection
I'd like to note that the song "Stranger" by The Presidents of the United States of America is completely about this newspaper. Not sure where this would fit in the article though. --Sirkha 16:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Might go well after that remark about the paper as chronicler of the music scene, maybe with a transition like "In at least one case, the music scene has chronicled The Stranger. - Jmabel | Talk 04:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Tell us how "Stranger" is completely about The Stranger. Tell us how these lyrics here [1] are about The Stranger. They don't even seem to be about Seattle. -Ashley Pomeroy 19:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Looks to me like the answer is "not at all". - Jmabel | Talk 07:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't go so far to say that the article is completely about the paper, but it CLEARLY takes a nudge from the "I Saw You" section of the newspaper. If you don't happen to read The Stranger, the pieces in the I Saw You section start with "You: (description) Me: (description)" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.192.240.82 (talk) 06:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
