First sundry thought: blog entries are very hard to title.
Second sundry thought: Okay, bracketeers, there are some basketball games tonight, so stop pretending to concentrate on that Purchase Agreement or Modalities Matrix or whatever it is you are pretending to concentrate on, and browse incessantly over to the NCAA Men's basketball scores. Sheesh. Why am I the one who always has to remind you? Oh, right, because I am The Commissioner. If I needed any evidence that I need to remind people of things, the fact that my own husband didn't do any picks is Exhibit A.
Third sundry thought: Is Edwards caught in a Presidential catch-22 or what? The guy has decided to stay in the race, despite the fact that his wife has stage 4 cancer of the. . . body . . . and has 2 tiny children to love and care for. This makes him seem like an unelectable lout. So what's the only way he could overcome that, and seem loving and electable? If he drops out of the race. The only way to be winnable is to not run. Which is Al Gore's strategy, obviously. But how many people can use that and still (not) win?

I find myself so riled by the Edwards thing. Comments in NYT are overwhelmingly positive and call Edwards a "hero." Maybe everyone knows Edwards won't actually get the nomination, but he would be the go-to guy for anyone's VP. So I'm riled because I think it's absurd to expend time and energy on running when your partner has a serious health crisis to deal with, but also riled because let's say he got the nomination and pulled off winning the presidency. So he starts in the Oval office right around his wife's death, or at least her brutal decline, and we're supposed to expect him to take a day to grieve for his dead spouse for, oh, a couple of days, and then get back into the task at hand? Yuck.
I'm all for Edwards continuing to work. I just think he should channel his efforts into either the Clinton or Obama campaign.
