So last night I get a call from Martha Stewart. She’s in town and wants to stop by and say hello. I knew what that meant. I had to kiss her and let her take a look inside my refrigerator. Kissing Martha Stewart is not on my list of turn ons. Men may like to … Read More »
Lost chapter under the desk
October 22, 2007
I read something that pissed me off. Then I laughed so hard I pissed again. Five or six years ago, my book, “Living History” became a national bestseller. Even Oprah loved it. That was before her love affair with Barack Obama. As books go, Living History is special, not so much for what it says, … Read More »
60 is the new 40
October 21, 2007
In a few days I turn 60 years old. I feel 40. I’m a believer that 60 is the new 40, or, at least, it can be. Among the Republican presidential candidates, only Mitt Romney looks younger than his 60 years. Apparently he can afford to look younger. Everyone else in the Republican lineup looks … Read More »
I will end the war on science
October 20, 2007
Last week I was invited to speak at the National Women’s Financial Council Summit at the Hilton in Washington. Mostly it was a gabfest of women courting political influence in exchange for campaign contributions. California Representative Loretta Sanchez gave the introductory remarks.

The Manchurian Candidate
October 19, 2007
Race is not a factor in the 2008 presidential campaign. My campaign takes money from anyone, including Chinese. As long as they’re US residents, or want to be. Or, as long as they have money. Whichever. Last spring we held a few fundraisers in New York’s Chinese community that pulled in almost $400,000. Not bad … Read More »
Riding the polls like a pony
October 18, 2007
What is so hard about riding a pony? Not much. They’re gentle enough creatures that children can ride them so long as there’s an adult nearby. Nobody wants to see a spooked horse. Bill tells me that riding the latest polls is like riding a pony as a little girl. Sit up straight. Keep your … Read More »
Bring it on, pretty boys
October 17, 2007
In my whole life I have never, ever spent $400 on my hair, whether cut or styled or colored or whatever. We’ll be living in inflation hell before that happens. So what does John Edwards do? The lawyer goes on the offensive and attacks me on character and truthfulness. Hello? John Edwards is a lawyer … Read More »
Cheap shots in front of rich Jews
October 16, 2007
I couldn’t let the day end without a quick note on the quote of the day. It’s so funny. Barack Obama says he’s willing to meet with enemies of the Bush Administration. Good Lord, isn’t that about half the free world and most of everyone else? Anyway, Obama said he’d meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo … Read More »
