Officer breast-feeds quake orphans

JIANGYOU, China (CNN) -- A Chinese policewoman is being hailed as a hero after taking it upon herself to breast-feed several infants who were separated from their mothers or orphaned by China's devastating earthquake.

Officer Jiang Xiaojuan, 29, the mother of a 6-month-old boy, responded to the call of duty and the instincts of motherhood when the magnitude 7.9 quake struck on May 12.

"I am breast-feeding, so I can feed babies. I didn't think of it much," she said. "It is a mother's reaction, and a basic duty as a police officer to help."

i'm a registered independent (actually a 'decline to state' person, as the state of California likes to call us) but i can vote on the democratic ticket for the primaries come super tuesday. however, i'm just sorta stuck, not loving either of my choices.

i was a big supporter of dennis kucinich, but he's out. boooh! and my second choice on the Dem ticket was edwards, but he's out, waaah! so that leaves obama or hillary and, honestly, i'm just not excited about choosing between them.

there is one thing that is crystal clear to me:

i fucking hate repulbicans.

no big surprise. but i do. i really do. all of them. fucking fucks.

that's all.

anyone have any experience with the suzuki method? my DD turns 3 in spring and she's waaay into music (yeah yeah, all kids are, i know...) and with BD being a musician and all, it seems like it will be worth exposing her to lessons sooner than later.... any thoughts? first-hand experiences?

this is usually a big week for movie-watching. anybody see anything good lately?

i caught a fantabulous doc about Ralph Nader on independent lens last week called An Unreasonable Man. and man oh man, does ralph rock or what? seeing this film seals it for me. i just want to give him a hug. and a vote. and say thank you, ralph. which i already do, i swear, every time i fasten my seatbelt.
