Over there on the left sidebar is a list of top stories from the NYT with links to the full text at the paper's website. At the moment, one reads:
Illinois House Impeaches Governor
Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich became the first governor in Illinois's history to be impeached on Friday, sending his case to the state Senate for trial.
Really? The first Illinois governor ever impeached on a Friday? Wow. That's arcane information worthy of the most addicted sabermetrician. What day of the week are impeachments usually handed down, I wonder?
Update: Heh. They've corrected it. Now it reads:
Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich on Friday became the first governor in Illinois's history to be impeached.
It's still awkward, but better. I'd have put the day first: "On Friday, Gov. Blago became. . ."
