What happened to Amy Goodman?
I'm just now catching the first Democracy Now I've been able to watch in several weeks and Amy's face is all twisted out of shape on one side and barely moving on the other. It almost looks like she had a stroke. Does anyone know what's wrong?

5. I doubt if she'll let it keep her down! I would love to see it happen
to Cheney! On Lil' Bush he sorta had the look. Ignore what I just wrote...I've embarrassed myself.

P.S. I just ran spell check for the word embarrass...it never looks "right"....but spell check only found "Cheney" and I loved it because I could click "ignore"!

6. Here's some more info on Bell's Palsy:
Lots of online medical sources, but here's one strictly devoted to it, a Bell's Palsy Research Foundation, if anyone is interested in knowing more.
