Here's to Jane

Dear Jane:

Dunno if you've ever seen My Neighbor Totoro, but there's a scene near the end of it where the two sisters, Mei and Satsuki, sit outside their mother's hospital room and watch her talk with their father, perched high above in the branches of a tree alongside the gigantic magical Catbus that brought them. They don't want to bother her; they're just checking on her to make sure everything's good. And it is.

Think of your fellow bloggers the same way. We're just outside the window, and glad to see you get well.

Here's wishing you the best. May the Ben and Jerry's truck accidentally deliver an entire load to your recovery pad.

Everyone else: Run over to Firedoglake and hit their tip jar.

Oh, and Gerard Vanderleun is now officially the holder of the title "Biggest Turd in the Right-Wing Cloaca".
