A few weeks ago, I watched "Farrah's Story" and learned what a strong woman and fighter Farrah is. She went at the cancer that was invading her body with everything she had. I was rooting for her, but it was obvious she was losing ground.
If you havent seen it and if a re-run rolls around, you should consider watching it. Yes, it is sad, but it is so realistic - she takes you in the exam rooms with her and into her consultations with her physicians. You see her learn that the cancer is back, and that it has spread.
You get to see moments of peace and of joy.
When I heard she had died, I was truly saddened. You'll be remembered by so many. Rest in peace Farrah.

So, I'm heading out to get us a fast food breakfast. Chris asks me to stop by Walgreens and pick up a few things.
Breakfast - check
Walgreens -

At least we had something similar to Dayquil at home.

My take
My take on the tasteless "joke" by David Letterman -
I am a huge Sarah Palin fan/supporter. I am proud of the woman standing up for her morals and values. All she can do is instill those into her children. Children can and will make mistakes, but I'm a firm believer that you'll come back to the foundation given to you by your parents, it make take a long time, but your foundation IS your foundation.
Sarah's children do not deserve to be joked about just because their mom made a choice to run for V.P. of the USA. Letterman's choice of material is just a grown up old man bullying some teenagers. It was a pot-shot. It does not matter if the intended subject was Bristol, it was still a pot-shot. I think David and his writers forgot that a large portion of America does support Palin and Christian values. I think they've been reminded. America is still a Christian nation.
Is Letterman guilty of poor taste with that particular piece? Yes, definitely.
Has Letterman made me laugh at times over the years with things I found funny that other people did not? Yes, I'm sure he has.
Does one misstep mean he should lose his career? I don't think so. We're human, we make mistakes, we forgive. Hopefully, we grow and learn from those missteps. I watched the 2nd "apology" and I think it was as sincere as Letterman gets, I just don't know that he knows how to deliver the kind of sincerity we seem to expect, doesn't mean he's not sincere in his own way. Take it at face value, accept, forgive and move on - that is what we as Christians do.
