Yesterday morning, I watched the Edwards press conference where he announced that his wife, Elizabeth, had cancer again, and that they decided to keep campaigning. Later that day, we discussed that press conference in class. Some thought it was heartless of Edwards. One guy noticed that they weren’t standing next to each other during the press conference. Others thought it wouldn’t make any difference; Edwards had no chance against Obama and Hillary and would soon be forced to drop out.

Later, my intro students told me that they were rather happy the voting rate was only about 50%. They thought that voting should only be for smart people. But that’s neither here nor there.

I want to put up a link for donations to breast cancer research. What organization is the best?
