Another week is behind us, and I for one am glad:
- Justice Stevens to Retire After 34 Years — Opening up another big opportunity for Obama, who believes in making the most of them.
- Dow Clears Another Hurdle in Long Run — It crosses 11,000 for the first time in 18 months.
- Ousted Kyrgyzstan President Bakiyev ‘fears for life’ — The continuing unrest in that country way over yonder wedged between some -stans.
- Achoo! Pollen at its worst in years in many areas — Yeah, you already knew that, but sometimes your front page should reflect that kind of common experience.
- Future Pope Stalled on Abuse Case, Letter Suggests — More trouble for the Pontiff.
- Republicans optimistic in the South — According to NPR, anyway…

What??? No headlines of Jenny Sanford request for a larger porch on her beachfront home? It made the front page of The State, so what gives?
If you want The State, you get The State. I want BradWarthen.com’s take.
Do you really think Jenny Sanford’s petition for a breezeway is worth mentioning?
