* Taryn Brodwater and Meghann Cuniff are miffed because a snooty “Court TV” reporter horned in on their interview with jurors after the verdict on the Ellington case came down. You’ll read about it in tomorrow’s print Huckleberries.

* Sam The Intern is gone. His desk is cleaned out. I have my fingers crossed that his job interview in western Washington Friday will go well.
