I just got off the phone with a woman who was in tears over her desire to lose 30 pounds. It was one of the saddest conversations I have ever had with a reader of mine--or a friend!

Back then, the campaign directed me to Oregon Department of Education guidelines which they said would give
Franklin Graham and Barack Obama in the same room.Yes, it's true. When they both met the other day in a roomful of religious leaders in Chicago, The Brody File was told that Franklin Graham and Sen. Barack Obama shook hands afterwards. Earlier we had reported that they hugged. A Franklin Graham spokesman called and said actually it was a handshake, not a hug. My source called it a "man-hug" but whatever. The bottom line is he was in the room.
