...almost that time of the semester when we all start hopping from class to class, room to room, Sever Hall to the Science Center. This spring, we at FlyBy decided to make ourselves useful in your shopping experience (though we can't promise anything) while having a little fun at the same time...
...this week I met journalists from Pakistan with United Nations and U.S. State Department issued press credentials. They work for some of the biggest outlets in their countries, including BBC Urdu, the Associated Press in Pakistan, Jang, Dawn, Geo and Haj TV. None were issued credentials for the trial, though some had applied weeks ago. We watched the proceedings on a flat screen television.

The ship has sailed on a couple of those - unless of course, there are more skeletons in the Edwards' well-appointed closets. So even though some people are begging Edwards to just go away, he needs to fess up to anything else, now, before the National Enquirer digs it up. The Enquirer, incidentally, is submitting its coverage of Edwards for a Pulitzer Prize - another specter for which we can thank the Senator from North Carolina...
