one more timely post about john edwards...
when i got in my car after work today, NPR's "all things considered" was on the radio and i caught a bit about edwards' decision to withdraw from the race. you wanna know what the broadcast was concerned with? white male voters! WHAT?!?? the NPR folks were all, "what's going to happen to the white males now? do they support the chick or the black dude?" (that's not a direct quote, btw.)
i'm of the opinion that NPR crossed a line today. it ventured outside the weird and woolly realm of political correctness and into the vast sea of AYFKM.* the white male voters? really? NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE WHITE MALE VOTERS!!! except the republicans. and they're silly.

*AYFKM:
duh! short for "are you fucking kidding me" -- my favorite little acronym to write in the margins of my law school casebooks. aw, law school! those were the days...

i'm just going to go ahead and assume this was facetious.
This white male voter has a crush on Obama!

re: serious man-crush
in my favorite sports column a few weeks back, (bill simmons, aka the sports guy, espn.com), the question was posed by a reader as to what would most of us do if Tom Brady, after a we'd had a few drinks, leaned over and whispered...; well, obviously, no answer necessary.
