Eli,
Whoops! is all I can say. Good that the Oregonian corrected the record.

Best way to go...my opinion.

Meh.

Go back to ambulance chasing, or demanding the long form birth certificates of non journalists.

Maybe you need an Internet Hooker...or electro-shock...anything to stop the voices.

If you're going to read the UK news, you should at least know they cut health care in the 2012 budget, while lowering the tax rate of the ultra-rich there, @4.

My question is, if Will in Seattle and John Bailo start conversing in Slog comments, is this self-sustaining? Can the rest of us just leave, and it will run on its own? Does this pass the Turing test? Is there precedent for two systems which independently do NOT pass the Turing test to pass it together when they combine forces?

Yes it is a story.
If he publicly (anonymously?) had one side of the story printed in the paper ...
and then is found to have PRIVATELY engaged in such behaviour ...
that is known as "hypocrisy".
Not to mention that it was probably a crime.

It would be of less interest (but more salacious) if he had DEFENDED prostitution and pushed for de-criminalization.

The real story is why the Oregonian thought it was ok to cover up his DUII a couple years back?

The Oregonian censored Doonesbury the week before Caldwell's death because "Garry Trudeau, in our judgment, went over the line of good taste and humor in penning a series on abortion using graphic language and images inappropriate for a comics page." Caldwell was involved in the decision to censor Doonesbury as one of the editors of The Oregonian. It's interesting that the woman in the censored strip seemed very close to the age of the PCC student (23) that Caldwell was having sex with when he died.

When an Oregonian editor who has published multiple, unretracted editorials condemning prostitution dies after sex, in the apartment of a college student who's not his wife and who allegedly works as an Internet call girl, is it news?

There, I fixed the headline for you.
