Sen. Tim johnson suffers stroke

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Well, it may seem crass, but the fact that he's a U.S. senator in a tight senate is the reason this is a front page story.

Things like this happen to people all around the world, every minute of every day. It's all for the most part tragic, but it's this guy's position that makes the story.

I would assume everyone hopes he's alright, especially for his family's sake (maybe I'm wrong in making that assumption).
