• OH NO HE DIDN’T: Totally hip and collected and not at all skeezy Mayor Sam Adams spent the week in Washington, D.C., lobbying for federal funding for projects in Portland. He returned with several million bucks in guaranteed earmarks.

• OH NO WE DIDN’T: Willamette Week’s heartwarming cover story about Lopsy Johnston, an 18-year-old wounded veteran in Hillsboro who channeled his frustration with his debilitating injury into starting an award-winning bunny rescue, sparked no controversy whatsoever.

• OH NO IT DIDN’T: Intel opened a new factory in Hillsboro, putting 1,000 people to work.

• OH NO THEY DIDN’T: A jury found Thomas V. Wallace, a former TriMet labor leader, not guilty of stealing more than $450,000 in union benefit funds. Because he didn’t have a gambling problem, and would never have forged checks to support it.
