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.
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?!?
Okay, this cat actually made me snork out loud at my desk: [link]

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!
Is this the only source for the "Edwards suspending campaign" incorrect news screwup? Because of one blogger with one source, a bunch of big media got it wrong? Or were there other false sources?
Politico updates false Edwards report.
Politico’s Ben Smith on his false report: “A single, confident source close to John Edwards told me this morning that Edwards was ’suspending his campaign,’ and I posted it to the blog at 11:06 this morning. My source, and I, were wrong. … I trusted the source, somebody I’ve known for several years, and who has always been reliable. And with less than an hour before Edwards was to announce, I unwisely wrote the item without getting a second source.”
CNN’s Candy Crowley doesn’t have much sympathy: “Now, Politico.com has cracker jack reporters over there.”
