Hurray for Obama and all of us (diabetics and others) who might benefit from his ending the ban today on stem cell research.

Saw “Breaking Bad” on AMC for the first time last night at the start of its second season, and I’m hooked.
It has the same kind of appeal to me that FX’s “Rescue Me” does. The dark drama is so believable in many aspects, there were many surprises and it’s funny in parts.
From Wikipedia: “Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a struggling high school chemistry teacher with a disabled teenage son (RJ Mitte) and pregnant wife Anna Gunn. When the already tense White is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he breaks down and turns to a life of crime, setting up a meth lab with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in a desire to secure his family’s future financial security.
“Breaking Bad” has received critical acclaim and won two Emmy Awards for its first season in addition to numerous other awards and nominations.
Care to share why you dig “Breaking Bad”?

Yes, that’s her real name, her first and middle names given to her by her mother, and she’s a schoolteacher with a master’s degree, according to this Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story published in the Chicago Tribune.
Makes me think of the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue.”
