[UPDATE: We haves photographs now!] Last April, after a lot of lobbying, New York City was granted one of NASA's retired Space Shuttles. Sure, it's the shuttle that performed test flights in the atmosphere and never actually orbited space, but it's our shuttle. Today the Enterprise will finally come (to its new) home—flying over Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. (The arrival was already delayed once due to unfavorable weather.)

NASA announced that the shuttle will fly into the city on top of a 747 next Monday, and they're bringing the ol' gal in at low altitudes, creating an amazing photo op.
Obama Encounters Strangest Trio Since To Wong Foo
President Obama must have felt like he was hosting an improv comedy parlor game of Party Quirks this afternoon when he welcomed to the White House Mayor Bloomberg, the Reverend Al Sharpton and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. The trio was there as part of the nonprofit group, the Education Equality Project. The meeting also included NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein, who despite co-founding the project, was not deemed worthy of any of today's AP photo opportunities—stick to events headlined by Randi Weingarten if you ever want to be remembered, Joel!
