Christina Aguilera cradles her flag-encased infant son Max Liron Bratman while crooning "America the Beautiful" to him in a public service announcement promoting the kickoff of this year's Rock the Vote campaign. Calls immediately went out to presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama to begin wearing a similarly clad baby on his lapel during all campaign stops or risk being tagged as unpatriotic.Paris and Britney, Eat Your Overexposed Hearts Out!
Yes, my beloved journalist friend Cathy Seipp, who died on Thursday at 49 of lung cancer, has rather remarkably shot to the top of the national blog searches roll on Technorati -- well ahead of the likes of Paris Hilton (#11) and Britney Spears (#15). This is a little bit like having your neighborhood softball championship team land higher primetime ratings than the World Series.
Cathy would have thought this extraordinarily wonderful while adding with cool detachment, "Well, of course." She's managed to pull off one of her greatest feats posthumously. Not that I ever doubted for a second she could.

As of 12:30 a.m. on Friday morning, I see that Cathy still has the top slot on Technorati. She's still hanging in there...of course! I love it.
