Retired Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and adviser to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, is responsive and "looking good," a friend said, after being hospitalized last weekend for a brain hemorrhage.

Seems Shali is doing better. Just days ago, the General spoke at the DNC and proclaimed "I come to you tonight as a new democrat." I was so proud. I served while he was chairman. I've always thought he was a good man.

Make sure he and his family are in your thoughts.

It sounded pretty grim earlier, so I'm pleased at this.
