When it rains, it pours... "Emily Couric, who kept her seat in the state Senate and became head of the state's beleaguered Democratic Party after learning she had cancer, died Thursday. The sister of NBC's Today show co-host was 54." ..I'd been wondering why Maria Shriver was substituting for Katie this week. I guess now we know.

Thanks Zachs. I too had been wondering about that because I know that it would take something fairly major to keep Katie away from work....given the current climate.

Personally, anything I can think of saying sounds incredibly trite, given the circumstances. I think I'll just shut up.
