Could I have missed the two scares in there, especially the one when both of my kids were babies? http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091118/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3912009 uc/20091118/op_3912009 Susan Estrich opinion Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - I really hate defending Sarah Palin. I mean, I don't agree with her on anything. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091113/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911966 uc/20091113/op_3911966 Susan Estrich opinion Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - There's an old saying that hard cases make bad law. The same rule, unfortunately, applies to presidential decisions. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091111/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911932 uc/20091111/op_3911932 Susan Estrich opinion Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - You've got to hand it to Nancy Pelosi. Love her or hate her — and there are probably more people in the second category than the first — you can't deny the enormity of her accomplishment. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091106/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911891 uc/20091106/op_3911891 Susan Estrich opinion Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - Everything and nothing happened on Tuesday. I could have predicted that. Whoever "wins" says it means everything. Whoever "loses" says it means nothing. That's how off-off-year elections work. History supports both sides. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091104/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911861 uc/20091104/op_3911861 Susan Estrich opinion Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - There's an old story about a Harvard professor who gets a call from the president (of the United States) and responds that his president is the president of Harvard. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091030/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911818 uc/20091030/op_3911818 Susan Estrich opinion Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - To be honest, I don't care whether Valerie Jarrett plays basketball or not. And I certainly would hate to see Ambassador Susan Rice, known to be a good player, missing meetings at the United Nations so she can make it to the White House court. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20091028/cm_uc_crsesx/op_3911784 uc/20091028/op_3911784 Susan Estrich opinion Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - My internist told me he is now using the technique he learned many decades ago in the military, when supplies of vaccine were short and they had to split doses. I wouldn't even think of asking. But I did ask my rheumatologist, since rheumatoid arthritis is one of those things that makes getting the flu worse. He would have been happy to give me a flu shot — I'm talking regular flu here, not the swine kind — but he was out.
