Here are your top six stories (the proper number for a self-respecting front page):
- Hundreds die in west China quake — How many more of these are we going to have this year?
- Bernanke Sees Moderate Recovery — I love it when any public figure from South Carolina makes news without making a complete ass of himself — and of us. He says it might be awhile before jobs are restored. Duh. He also said we need to start reining in the deficit.
- Last American Soldier Leaves Afghan ‘Valley of Death’ — Just to kind of remind you that there actually IS a war going on.
- The $60 million mistake — Which will necessitate additional cuts in the state budget with only three months left.
- Benjamin, Finlay joust on vital Columbia issues — This is old now (last night), but I want to keep the mayoral contest in front of my readers.
