Metsger reporting
Actually 24 hours before The Oregonian reported Metsger's run for something, it was reported on NWRepublican blog.
Unfortunately The Oregonian's Jani Har failed to provide the attribution.
Violating unwritten rule #1 in the blogosphere. That is to always provide props to others on the net when siphoning leads.
Yip Yip
