The NI Robinson crises has reached America. An article about Peter Robinson's decision to take a 6 week break is currently the 4th most read story on CNN, under stories about Avatar, most intriguing people of the day, and balloon boy's dad. So basically, it's the most read real story right now. I'm not surprised either, because this story has all the elements Americans love in a political scandal. There's also this very concise New York Times article. Aaannnndd I should be working on my dissertation topic instead of thinking about this.
