Obama to leave campaign trail to visit ailing grandmother - CNN.com:
(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama will take a break from campaigning Thursday so he can visit his ailing grandmother in Hawaii, an Obama spokesman said Monday.
Part of me is waiting for McCain to get nasty and churlish and start talking in a snide voice, "(presidents need to) deal with more than one thing at once." That'd be great. I'd love to see how well it goes over with the voters to make fun of someone for taking time to look after a sick relative.

There's a really childish part of my head which wants to call my incessantly Republican uncle, who is himself a lobbyist for a trucking organization, and say "Dude. Get ready to lose."

I know how you feel. Every time I get emails from my very hard-core right wing Dad (he's sending me mails about Palin now), I want to just write him back and say "You folks made your own bed. Prepare to lie in it." Maybe I'll just send him a link to the Powell endorsement of Obama.

If you see any headlines like "Colorado man invents way to slap son remotely over internet" you can sleep soundly that night knowing that you know an internet celebrity.
