Perturbed
It was just announced that Arlen Spector has Hodgkins Lymphoma. I am pissed. I have no desire to share anything, even a disease, with that man.

Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

I'm sure your variant of Hodgkin's is far superior, Maureen. And probably more curable and less disfiguring too. So there.
And hey, at least it's not the other senator from Pennsylvania.
He was diagnosed with stage IVB Hodgkins (involves organs outside the lymph system), and his oncologist says in the Philadelphia Inquirer that his five year survival rate is seventy percent.
You'd think he'd come up with something really original, like an exotic form of BSE or something.
At least this may distract the press from important news, like wondering who James Guckert's john was in the White House.
Mad-dog
Wow! My thoughts EXACTLY!!! :-)
While I have no stomach for the man or his opinions, I wouldn't wish this disease on my worst enemy -- which he isn't. My heart goes out to anyone with cancer, regardless of their politics -- and I find it ironic that in this battle with Hodgkins, we share for the first time the same motives. Strange bedfellows, the homo-hater from the left, and the right-loving homo.
