A good friend of mine had a breast reduction when she was 19. She had some kind of hormonal issue that had caused her breasts to grow large when she was young and the weight was giving her back problems. Even after the surgery, the damage done to her back was somewhat permanent; it would have been better if she had it…

I voted for Van Hollen, but I understand your disappointment. Demographically, I wanted to support her and all things being equal I would have, but given my positive experiences as a Van Hollen constituent, and the stuff about Edwards not being so great to her constituents were problematic to me.

Being from Florida, it’s a “not every pond contains a gator but any pond could” kind of thing.

I lived in Florida for some time as a kid and am a trained lifeguard myself, and this is a whole bunch of nope. Murky water? Late at night? No lights, swim gear or oxygen tanks? Nope. If the girls had been able to open the door and swim away from the car, maybe. But getting yourself into a situation where you’re going…
