In the news

For the past several days I have felt like crap. I have ached. My throat has felt as though it was lined with the hair of a Greek man's back. My head has felt heavy, and my hearing was minimal. I am finally starting to feel like me again.

I watch quite a bit of news, and this past week I watched even more. My favorite stories of the week? Here you go:

In Texas you can now be arrested for public drunkeness...inside a bar.

Helen Thomas and George Bush...her question, his expression when he responded.

The family missing in Oregon - who doesn't like some happy news every now and them?

Debra Lafave - enough said

Tanya Kach - the girl that resurfaced after being held by the school custodian for ten years...what the hell?

I feel so much better today, but I'm still watching the news. I've been switching back and forth between MSNBC, Fox, and CNN for the past two hours, and I'm sure it will continue throughout the night. I've got the wife killing the preacher husband story that's got me roped in now.

Glad you're feeling better.

But there HAD to be something going on there.
Just because a guy is a man of God doesnt mean he isnt a bad guy.

Women (esp with kids) dont normally kill their spouse on a whim.

I hope you are much better by now. Your trip is coming up very shortly right?
