Scratch those earlier reporters about Ted Kennedy's cancer and return to the Senate on a full-time basis:

U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy’s office says a report that the Massachusetts Democrat’s brain tumor has gone into remission and he is returning to the Senate full time next month is unfounded.

A staffer who did not wish to be named for this story said the senator continues to balance a treatment regimen with work, adding his schedule is determined on a day-to-day basis.

A Washington, D.C., publication, The Hill, reported Tuesday that Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Kennedy’s brain cancer is in remission and he would return to the Senate full time in early June.

Tonight I bought a four-pack of "Pepsi Natural," which has "natural" incredients instead of high fructose corn syrup. It isn't the same as the Pepsi of long ago, which tasted better than Coca Cola and had a "kick," but it's okay. Apparently it is being marketed in selected stores throughout the country. I haven't seen or tried the "Pepsi Throwback," which is supposed to be like the original.
