The right margin isn't being used. Maybe just keep the stat there? "This weeks page count: Stranger - 96. Seattle Weekly - 84." You could even come up with a 'smaller weekly watch' graphic. That'd keep an intern busy for a few minutes. Or at least away from Chuck's roving hands/eyes?
To-the-right might also be a good place to keep a "most recent comments" roll (which we would never suggest to another blog, but it could solve some of the problems observed in the comment/forum disparity or whatever).
