Just caught John Edwards on CBS saying he may run for president in 2008. Possible future president John Edwards was also hawking his new role as editor of an anthology titled Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives that includes a cross-section of America -- black and white, famous and not -- writing about their childhood lives. The very photogenic John Edwards did not discount a run for the presidency in 2008, and didn't hesistate to take potshots at Bush and Rumsfeld over the mess in Iraq, and who can blame him with that leaked memo Rumsfeld wrote (before he "stepped down") making the rounds yesterday saying that Bush's strategy in Iraq wasn't working. Pro-life folks like me (yes, all life, including the soldiers dying for my safety today) that voted for W must not scrape the Ws off cars, but keep repeating: Roberts and Alito sit on the Supreme Court. Roberts and Alito sit on the Supreme Court... John Edwards was a little more tight-lipped about his reported wan...

..."numb nuts" and such. Boy, if you didn't catch ol' drunk Danny DeVito slurring on The View today, you missed a show! But catch Danny DeVito on The View right now and watch ol' Danny boy's routine highly disrespecting Bush and going on about Danny and Rhea getting busy in the White House and everything. DeVito made me laugh when I watched him on the copy of The View I TiVo'd today, because I was so stressed out with my kids that I'd grabbed a tiny bottle of white wine to sip before I watched Danny DeVito make a fool of himself. A tipsy person laughing at a drunkard. It was hard not to agree with some of his drunken tirade right after I heard on the news that we might bone up our presence in Iraq with 20,000 more troops. But DeVito took it a little too far, and I'm standing by the man I voted for. The audience laughed at Danny Devito when he hiccupped just like a lush...in the daytime. Now I hear Danny has apologized to Barbara Walters...

Yesterday I was in pure bliss as my kids and I either biked, jogged or sat like Queen Elizabeth II in a double jog stroller (guess which one) down the lovely 1.6 miles plus of boardwalk trail that is Fort Island, a protected marsh in Ohio. I was soaking up the unusually bright sun and temps that felt like 70 degrees or warmer and loving it...that is, till I got home and watched the DVD version of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It and learned why it's been so spankin' warm lately. You can save all those jokes about old stiff Al Gore , this film version of An Inconvenient Truth is his slide show display alive with the true passion of what the man was born to do. I'm still glad I didn't vote for Gore in 2000 -- still glad ol' W was in office during 9/11 (not so much during Hurricane Katrina) -- but this movie shows a side of Gore that is both funny, dead serious and so vulnerable as he talks a...
