Tom DeLay

Has anyone else noticed a similarity between Tom DeLay's protests of innocence and those of O.J. Simpson? The Hammer whined about T shirts with his mug shot being sold by "liberal groups."

Race for the Cure

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Race for the Cure was held today in Cleveland, Ohio. Good people braved wind, cold, and rain to help fund breast cancer research. Over 22,000 of us attended this year's 5K walk/run. With Lake Erie's white capped waves in the background we took an easy course past the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame.
