Whoa, wait a minute: I’m not sure the same results will show now, but when I sampled a few news sites at 5PM on Thursday the 7th, I found these top stories:
Google (new local news feature): Embattled Sheriff Giusto says he will retire at the end of this year (link from KATU)
KGW: Embattled Mult. Co. Sheriff to retire
LocalNewsDaily: Giusto announces retirement
And then…OregonLive: Portland man admits to drunken brawl in Tualatin
If this is any indication, the O has plenty of catch-up to do with or without Google in the game.

Upon moving to the city from a 12 acre patch of woods, meadow and water in Vermont, I had no interest in mastering the art of picking up after the Labradors with delivery bags from the NY Times or the Oregonian. Eventually, after a couple of years of prodding and a steady drip of mild derision from my wife, I picked up the basics, so to say.
Here’s a new development, for anyone who has canceled his or her print subscriptions. It’s worth a look for the video and music alone. The score is all pre-disco/Philly sound, and the actress is excellent. I think I saw her in I’m Not There. (But then, I also thought I spotted Kim Gordon, Marianne Faithful and Sally Kellerman.) Link
I Love It! Picking up after my little Yorkie is actually fun! Everything is so neat and simple. I don’t feel any more embarrassment. — A satisfied customer

Speaking of public radio. Carrie Brownstein wrote an interesting blog post recently about staying home with the flu and seeing Anthony G. on the Today Show. I hadn’t heard of him before. She points to some video here, courtesy of Gawker. Holy…
Viewing tip: Look for the wink-and-point when the time ticker hits 1:27.

We’re invited to a Christmas Ships party tonight aboard a friend’s floating home. Chris made up a batch of these. She swears the choice had nothing to do with lit-up boaters.
