It's cold outside today. How cold?

Colder than a get well card from Katie Couric.

I appreciated what John Edwards said. Made me admire him more. The people complaining about Katie's interview, need to get a life. They are always putting her down about something, one minute they are complaining she is to liberal, and the next she is to conservative. Give the woman a break! Katie you are doing a great job at CBS. Keep up the good work!

I watched your "60 Minutes" interview this evening with Elizabeth and John Edwards. I found you insensitive and judgemental. Particularly toward Senator Edwards, whom you portrayed as uncaring and self-obsessed.

You were more preoccupied with Elizabeth Edwards' dying, than with her genuine desire to live. You challenged her positivism and vitality. You painted her future as bleak. Why such negativity, Katie? Yes, cancer isn't good news. But your badgering seems suspect. Didn't you hear Elizabeth's response when you suggested she's staring at death? She said, "Aren't we all?"

Didn't you get that, Katie? We ultimately face the same fate. Elizabeth hasn't surrendered. Don't presume that she should.

Many in America know the tragedies you have suffered, Katie. You were a widow much too young. Your loving husband, Jay, lost his battle with colon cancer after a valiant effort to prevail. Your older sister, Emily, succumbed to pancreatic cancer after she similarly fought to prevail.

Your personal tragedies are well documented. As are your triumphs in dealing with them. You bounced back. Of course there will always be pain, but you survived.
