    Some eventful, but an almost ordinary day of a two month cricket series
    (that too the first day of  a five day test match of a four match test
    series) between two common wealth nations being covered prominently on
    TOM (Cricket–for the first time) in the sports section?? Wow!

    I wont be surprised if  wombat uses some sort of a  (bad) script to aggregate these Live AT Five features.

    Award-winning aggregation all done manually, without the aid of any scripts bad or otherwise. Threw in the cricket link & pic for variety’s sake.

    Some video of Imus Guest This Morning, James Carville and Frank Luntz both humping the inevitability of a Romney nomination, and simultaneously pointing how weak a candidate he will be in the General.
