Another promising young talent whose life was cut short by drugs. When will we learn? She was the Kurt Cobain of her generation.

Hi Lis, I just find it refreshing to be able to talk about a good Republican woman in public life. They're pretty rare these days, sorry to say. In fact, I don't know if I could name another one right now.

Sad.

I was reminded, as well, and simply remembered one or the other, if you will. "Oh! She had breast cancer, yes!"

But then I remembered the term "Betty Ford Clinic", and thought to myself, no way, man...no way did she have both.

But she did. And was honest and forthcoming and so very helpful to the rest of us, about both. Cancer. Alcoholism.

Makes one think. Gerald kinda fell into the Presidendcy, for reasons we are all too well aware of. But his wife fell into First Lady role too. And...wow.

What a trial. But....wow....what a way to handle it all. She's got my respect, and then some.
