Mmmm *Sigh, Swoon*

For no reason whatsoever, this blog finds it necessary to comment on the lovely Nalah Ayed, one of the CBC correspondents who has really made a name for herself, especially with her recent work in Amman, Baghdad, and Afghanistan. She's articulate, intelligent, pretty, and (from what I saw of her in a panel discussion on the dangers of being a foreign correspondent) quite quick and funny. Ah, a woman after my own heart -- and definitely a refreshing presence on the nightly news. And considering she's only been with the CBC a short time, she's definitely impressive, taking tough assignments, and asserting herself with dignity and grace. Lovely, intelligent, and erudite: a killer combination.
