7/2 KOIN

I started watching at 5:35 pm. PM is Olde English for Prime Minister. It's true.

Amber Schaecher created a "Wall of Hope" for Kyron Horman. She loves him, although they have never met. She cried. His parents visited the wall. His biological parents.

Al Gore still might be a sex pervert but it's looking less likely. What, a guy can't get a massage? Man, The Enquirer breaks all the good stories these days. The "DNA" was inconclusive. Come on, you know if he learned anything from Clinton it was to not leave DNA lying around.

There's a bunch of hicks wrasslin' big mammals in Molalla. Molalla is really dominating the "really, that's news?" category lately. I wonder what's going on in the Capitol building?

**commercial commentary: What kind of fool would go to Bling Dental?

Robert Grindstaff, a prison guard, raped a woman at knifepoint.

Scientists think there are 19 genetic clusters that lead to long life.

Scientists think they can prevent the transmission of the HIV.

Sugar can lead to high blood pressure. Soda is bad for you.

Scientists have found 8 genes associated with baldness. They're gonna need to get on that if we're all gonna start living to 100.

Weather. The guy made some dumb jokes about how he's balding. Wow, how newsworthy.
Portlanders: stop bitching about the rain. That's why it's so damn green here. Deal with it.

Sports. This Blazer coverage is like reading cuneiform to me. Why are they still reporting on the World Cup? Nobody gave a rat's ass a month ago, and they don't now. And if they do, they're down at Beulahland watching it live.

Kyron Horman is still missing. 4 weeks later. The cops and everyone else are saying all the right things. There is still no suspect. So they say. They say the stepmother is co-operating. She is not a suspect. You hear me?

Heather Mallory, a young mother, was found dead in the woods. That sucks. They arrested her husband. He is terrible at fake crying. The whole family is bummed, naturally.

A 57 year old man, Eric Louis (Lewis?) is missing on Mt. Ranier.

Some kid is being taken away from his parents who are faith healing type people. Supposedly after the kid gets medical care they will give the girl back. We're miles away from William Penn, I suppose.

Traffic. Weather.

There's going to be fireworks at Fort Vancouver on the 4th.

They're looping back to the Al Gore story.

6:10 and I'm done for now.
