How awful about Mrs. Edwards. I'm amazed they're staying in the race. That's brave.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Edwards isn't my candidate of choice, but I refuse to consider who my candidate of choice is until Next Year! I thought his announcement was well done and sense making. He really shouldn't have joked about beating his wife though.
Oddly, my sister's lung cancer was discovered much the same way as they described. A friend gave her a big hug and she cracked a rib. When they did the x-ray they saw the cancer. It would have been much worse if not for the hug. Elizabeth said she had hurt her back moving a piece of furniture, then cracked a rib when John hugged her and she twisted oddly. Without the ouchy the cancer would not have been detected at this time.
Also, cancer sucks.
Not only did CNN say he was suspending his campaign, so did Reuters, ABC, CBS, and more no doubt. Gotta rush to be first with the wrong news.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That makes this Wonkette headline even more funny:

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can have homemade chicken tortilla soup for lunch (again) or I can stop when I go to the post office and get something else. Validate me in my selfish and costly choice, natterers.

I've seen Elizabeth Edwards speak twice and I am crushed for her. She's a dynamic woman and I hope for the best for them.
I haven't seen her live, but I have been very impressed with her in interviews. She rocks. They seem to have a nice marriage. It really must be tough to have to share such personal matters with the whole world. Their open discussion is refreshing.

Go with selfish and costly! I did. Although I'll probably be finishing off my homemade chicken tortilla soup for dinner because I got a salad bigger than my head for lunch.

I'm this close to buying a home theatre system so I don't have to get up from the couch to switch an A/B box. Of course, it would also be a home theatre system, with better sound and video quality, but the first impetus is to not have to get up for the damn A/B switch.

...and claimed that his department has been “tremendous in the area of public corruption.”
Now that , I can believe. Maybe not in exactly the same sense as Gonzales meant, though.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced this morning: “I’m not going to resign. I’m going to stay focused on protecting our kids.”
Without Gonzales, who will protect our kids by teaching them that torture is perfectly reasonable and moral as long as it's Americans doing the torturing? WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?

Go soup, choose soup! That way I'm not the only eating it (turkey barley today, with oyster crackers, apple, and a cookie).
That cat is hilarious!
