Hell On A Sunday

John Edwards' mother has sent out yet another email flogging her son's birthday on Sunday--as reported here on Friday--bragging/admitting to us that 7500 suckers have so far fallen for the ploy of giving a monetary offering in his honor in exchange for a secret pecan pie recipe. "Enjoying pie is best with friends," she writes. "So once you get your recipe, invite over a tableful of friends and family to bake, eat and celebrate John's birthday with you."

Sounds magical. Could I maybe donate a little more and get out of it?
