In brief

It shouldn't be all that hard for the Supreme Court to conclude that the right to keep and bear arms confers the right to keep and bear arms.

Talented J.J. Hickson ought to get away from the Wolfpack before he catches the mysterious malady of mediocrity that infected his teammates this season.

Barack Obama will try to further separate himself from controversial preacher Jeremiah Wright today, but it's harder to explain his 20-year association with a congregation that must approve of Wright's messages.

Does the NCAA care about attendance at its women's basketball tournament? Holding a regional in Greensboro and NOT letting the No. 1-seeded Carolina team play here is insane. Face it, the women's game just isn't popular enough to draw crowds without a strong local team. I attended a game last year between Rutgers and Arizona State, purchasing a ticket outside from a woman who was desperately trying to unload a handful after Duke had been eliminated. I gave her $5, basically because I felt sorry for her.

Question? did I not see a article yesterday, that questioned Mike Easley. I was to read it this morning and can not find it.

Doug, we've written several editorials that have done more than "question" Gov. Easley. The most recent are "Deleting the record":

Thanks, that is the one I was asking about. I had to make a quick trip to Raleigh last night. I thought I left my wife a note to fill up my car with gas while she was shopping in Danville yesterday.( I forgot) As I was coming home last night, this silly light came on, that said I needed gas. So I had to buy 3.5 gallons and cursed myself all the way home. 3.5 X 31cents= stupidity on my part. So I was not sure I had seen this.

Your wife is no dummy.
