Morning Post

Update: I guess it’s not my imagination.
I have a little more time to read the paper these days, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing. Having been in the business most of my adult life I can’t help noticing certain things. This morning, for example, I noticed a story on page 7A of the N&O pointing to a new poll that shows concern about Iraq higher on voters’ minds than concerns about terror. If you turn the page you read this story and understand why.
It kind of struck me, though, that I hadn’t seen a front page story on Iraq in a while. Figuring I’d just overlooked it, I pulled a few papers and couldn’t find any Iraq stories on the front page going back a ways. I’m left scratching my head over this. How is it that the biggest worry in the land has fallen off the front page? Are we done covering this war? I hope not because there’s still an army in the field and also because one of the saddest things I’ve learned in my years typing-for-dollars is this simple fact: people forget.

Meanwhile,
• No recess for Boyle.
• K Street Project blowback
• Demographic shift in Winston-Salem
• So does this new Quinnipiac poll prove that Lieberman is a DINO?
• Wacky vegetables? Or do you have a sick mind?
Also, musta missed this one: 22 immigration arrests after the Coast Guard stops boat of workers headed to Bald Head Island
