Why is it that USATODAY.com's profile of Elizabeth Edwards spends as much time talking about her weight struggles as any other topic? I don't think it's more humanizing than talking about her kids, or volunteer work, or whatever.

I got an email from someone in the computer department here in response to a question I'd had. He replied by giving me detailed instructions about what to do in my mail program. I hadn't told him what mail program I use, or anything about my computer. It's not hard to imagine that he just looked on the network, saw I had a mac, and assumed I used mail, but it was a little big-brother esque.
Wonder if he knows how much time I spend reading Wonkette every day...hmmmmmm...
