Today federal law enforcement agents announced that after a 14-month investigation they have dismantled a large Seattle drug trafficking ring, one that's been dispensing methamphetamine and cocaine into the state from Jalisco, Mexico. And here we were worried about Mexican-borne swine flu.

...try the bill for treatment for ingesting levamisole. Blog belltownpeople pointed us to the King Country Public Health Office notice that alerts the cocaine set that someone's been cutting their happy powder with an animal antibiotic (originally used as a de-wormer) that knocks out your immune system: "One individual needed extensive surgery, and another resulted in a hospitalization cost that exceeded $100,000." Paranoid but health-conscious drug users are warned to trust the government about this dangerous development, and be on the alert for cocaine that makes them feel like they're gonna die--but, you know, in a bad way--or if their worm infestation suddenly vanishes.

We're high on transit and so is a certain Metro driver who seems to have mistaken route 42 for a rock shop. Dude, you know the 5-0 rides that line. You best conduct business on the 7. It happens to stop near the Columbia City Library, where, the Rainier Valley Post reveals, car prowls are on the rise. It's happening in West Seattle, too, where residents are taking a bite out of crimes. We're ready to fight back ourselves. Someone smashed our car window at Seward Park Monday afternoon. Now we're prowling Craigslist and pawnshops for our stolen laptop. If you see an iBook G4 with the serial number scratched off, buy it--no questions asked--and we'll pay you back, k?

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook by preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent.

An armed man was forcibly subdued in the lobby of a downtown hotel this weekend after an alarmed ex-girlfriend alerted staff that the man had a gun and intended to use it. The altercation, which involved as many as four employees, escalated into a full-fledged wrestling match as the suspect became violent and refused to hand the firearm over.

The local act opening for Dolan and Buck 65 was Rudy & the Rhetoric, now out on CD-R. They sound clean, rehearsed, and synthy; the MC (Rudy, we presume) looks freshly scrubbed and straight out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog, one of the outdoorsy pages, where the guys are fully clothed. We had no idea Ken dolls could rap, but he was pretty good, and the DJ (the Rhetoric?) did some cool scratching. Overall, they were surprisingly polished but we had a hard time taking them seriously, especially since the MC kept wincing at the crowd's lukewarm reception.

And every ego will be crushed

Amy Winehouse ain't gonna be playing at the Paramount next month:

Seattlest James took a time-out from showering the Nickels administration with Gwen Stefani tickets and El Gaucho gift certificates to host the quiz last night at the Old Pequliar.

A record-setting 20 teams competed in Seattlest trivia at the Old Pequilar last night. The winning team scored 64.5 points (out of 80) and toook home $150. We'll post complete results this afternoon.

-A group of smugglers who moved pot and cocaine between Canada and Washington via helicopter were indicted today. "They 'literally took cross-border smuggling to new heights.'" Groan.

San Francisco is proud host of a new reality show called "How to Get the Guy" that's unfortunately not a descendant of Will and Grace, Queer Eye, The L Word, American Idol etc. Also a biodefence lab is coming to the East Bay and SFist teaches wine pairing.

Victrola is a cool coffee house on Capitol Hill where tech-savy baristas serve up beautiful espresso. They offer free wi-fi, but in an effort to reclaim their atmosphere, they have turned off the wireless router on weekends. The result? "The place was noisy and jumpin' - people actually conversed," according to a Victrola barista.

Remember the Reno 911 episode where the cops give a classroom demonstration on how to shoot someone without hitting a bunch of bystanders? That was hilarious, right? Because it was on TV. Fiction, then. You wouldn't really teach driveby skills to a class full of high school kids, just like you wouldn't teach them how to hotwire a car or whip up a batch of meth. YOU wouldn't. A member of the Grey's Harbour drug task force would, though.

Five-time All-Star and former Sonics great Shawn Kemp and a friend got tagged for keeping things a little too Seattle this morning. He was arrested for marijuana and cocaine posession after a cop smelled the chronic that Seattlest imagines was pouring from their pickup's windows Cheech and Chong style. The officer approached Kemp and his friend while they were standing around next to the truck in a Shoreliine parking lot.

Say you love Mark Trail--with irony or without. Say you think he's pretty much a perfect Seattlite blend of environmentalist and rugged outdoorsman. You hanker for this hunk--but he's only available in the Sunday funnies. Where to go for a daily dose?
