RALEIGH - SAME SONG, VERSE WHAT?
Raleigh, North Carolina. Raleigh News and Observer reprint? While I am not in the newspaper business I would guess that most newspapers could save a lot of money by printing most of the sections once, including the front page, and then just redelivering them every day. As long as the sports section and obits were new most people wouldn’t know the difference. My proof of this statement is derived from two facts: (1) The number of people who watch soaps on TV (2) - The headlines and sub-headlines in today’s paper.
Our Traffic Misery Is Just Getting Worse - - No! Really?!
Navy Checks Out Landing Field Sites - - - - No! Really?! (You have to be from North Carolina to appreciate this one)
Meddling Alleged In War Fraud Probes - - - No! Really?!
State Doctor Has Sex Crime On His Record - - - No! Really?!

Raleigh Chambers New Chairman Urges Members to Vote in Favor of Wake Bond Issues Totaling $187 Million - No! Really?! (You REALLY have to be from the Triangle to appreciate this one)
State Banking Officials Are Looking Into COmplaints That National Home Builders With Operations In The Triangle Area Are Violating Federal Lending Laws - - - - - - No! Really?!
More Slowing Expected In Housing Starts - - - No! Really?!
Crude Oil At Record Level - - - - - - - - - - - - No! Really?!
Thank God there’s there’s the sports page. At least the stories in it change:
O.J. Simpson Faces 10 Felony Charges - - - - No? Really?! Hmmmm. Then again, maybe not!
