Why cable news pursues the JonBenet Ramsey case | csmonitor.com

Click on the title to see a good analysis of why the cable news programs pay so much attention to the JonBenet story. It all goes back to the OJ trial, when they got the feed from the courtroom free and CNN was able to fill hours of space at very little cost.

Bummer

A line in the book of Proverbs says that disappointment makes the heart sick. Yesterday, the radiation team called Chuck to tell him that the machine was broken. Therefore, he wouldn't have a session that day.

For an instant, we were bummed out.

We have been faithfully marking off the days on the calendar until the treatment is over. An extra day off must have been what Chuck needed. He had a long sound sleep.

His molecules got a needed boost.

After the primary session, I asked him how the treatment felt. He said, " I feel like my molecules are dancing. And it's a dance I don't know."

Today he will ask the doctor about the finish date because we don't want to stay over the Labor Day weekend for one session.
