Another 'dents in the steering wheel' moment: two days ago in a speech in this state, our hypocrite-in-chief said something to the effect that "we need to support our troops and give them everything they need." Yes, that would be Mr. BYO Body Armor himself. (I can't find the exact transcript online, because he's made a few speeches on the subject since then.)
This afternoon in a rather annoyingly patronizing and somewhat ignorant story on the phenomenon of Sherlockians, an NPR reporter mentioned that Harry Truman was a member of the Baker Street Irregulars and quoted from a letter he'd written to them during his presidency.
Reporter: "And when you can bring some relaxation to a wartime President, that shows you've really done something."
Dichroic, to the radio: "Yeah, it proves you've elected a President who can read."
(OK, elected a VP, to be precise. Still, I couldn't resist sharing.)
Wow. I can't imagine Rudder being ill. I know he's human, but the man is like a seductive ad for clean living. "You, too, can be as gorgeous/sexy/healthy/fun if you Live Right!" So to think of him running snot and doubled over with a cough seems more unfair than other people being sick. However, sympathy goes to you as well, sick husbands are a pain in the arse. And yes, as per your note, I thought the same thing. Being sickened by the news is no excuse for opting out of knowing what's going on. ~LA
