Man, this day has flown by! Here are your headlines:

  1. Obama Takes an Energy Party Stance on Drilling — You know what? The Energy Party, which was dismissive of both major party nominees in 2008, should take another look at this Obama guy, now that he’s embracing its drilling plank. He’s ticked off both environmentalists and Republicans, which indicates that he’s probably gotten it just about right…
  2. Chechen Militant: Moscow Subway Blasts Were Revenge — Claiming “responsibility” (what a bizarre phrase!), offering lame excuses for inexcusable violence.
  3. Lexington 1 mulls job cuts, more — One of the state’s top districts is about to lay off scores of teachers.
  4. New law to funnel millions to S.C. colleges — This is old now, but not much has happened locally since the a.m. cycle.
  5. Jaime Escalante’s Legacy: Teaching Hope — The teacher who inspired the movie “Stand and Deliver” is dead at 79.
  6. CEO Pay Edges Downward — The WSJ reports that “chief executives’ compensation edged lower in 2009, the first time in 20 years that pay declined for two consecutive years.”
