Good Morning News!

Posted by Alex Zielinski on Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Bam: Following a roller coaster run of games, the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series, defeating the Texas Rangers 6-2 in game 7.

Long Live the Queens: The British monarchy scrapped the long standing rule that the throne's successor must be male and Roman Catholic.

Following His Father's Footsteps?: Gaddafi's son and would-be-successor, Saif al-Islam, pleads innocent to attacks against humanity. Court will have the final say.

In Heavy News: A suicide bomber hit a NATO bus in Kabul, injuring at least 13 Afghan and U.S. passengers, becoming the most severe of a series of attacks on multinational organizations.

On the Occupy Front: Trailing Occupy Oakland's brutal crackdown, San Diego and Nashville Occupy protesters face arrests and camp shutdowns. Meanwhile, in Tahrir, Egypt, locals march to the gates of the U.S. Embassy in solidarity with Occupy Oakland.

Back at the Ranch: According to a press release, Occupy Portland prepares a march to the convention center, where Bank of America plans to hold a publicity event, then end at a "proposed occupation expansion space" in the Pearl District.

Getting Frisky: A TSA employee has been removed after placing a suggestive note in a woman's bag that carried a vibrator.

More Plane News: A Gresham man flew unnoticed from Portland to Guam with 500 rounds of ammo in his carry-on. Apparently "meaning no harm", the man simply wanted to fish with a gun once he reached Micronesia. That's normal.

Poo Patrol: Police found a container of feces and urine thrown at the steps of the Multnomah County Courthouse. No ties to Occupy Portland, for now.

In Case You Were on the Fence: A list of Internet pros and cons from 1996
