1.7.2011. A beautiful day in the Northwest. Springwater Corridor Trail, Portland, Oregon.

• A typically glum and jaded former Seattleite bitches about Portlandia. Full disclaimer, I love June Thomas.
• re: that autism story I linked to a couple of days ago, the story behind the best NYT correction ever.
• My congressman (and I use the term loosely), Elton Gallegly of CA-24, is retiring. Great news. Maybe my majority-Latino district can finally get representation that doesn’t hate us. Hopefully SOPA will be the last in a long line of legislative defeats for the spineless, ambitionless backbencher.
• Still hung up on Nina:
