I love the feel good stories - I really do. But why hasn't NBC covered indepth the Republican Senate blocking passage of the 9/11 responder bill? This country is great because of people like the ones you showcase here and the first repsonders - it is unthinkable that we allow the Senate to do this. If you want to know how to cover this issue effectively - call Jon Stewart.

Selfdiagnosis works for me, but my daughter does not want me to diagnosis her. Oh, well!!!
