John and Elizabeth Edwards
I have the utmost respect for these two people. It is amazing how they are able to stand tall in the midst of tragedy and move forward. From cancer to losing their son far too early in life, they have handled everything with grace. Win or lose - this is the character we should expect of someone who lives in the White House.

Tsunami
Regarding the earthquake in Japan this weekend...
"A small tsunami measuring 6 inches hit shore about 40 minutes after the quake, the agency said. "
I know that we can't take these things lightly after what happened a few years ago....but really, does a 6" wave constitute a tsunami?

Congrats
Congrats to the Dixie Chicks on their multi-grammy win. While I will admit the timing of their controversial comments was not the best, we are a nation that prides ourselves on free speech. I think their punishment was too harsh for the crime. At any rate, they are talented and I think this award was well deserved.
