Last night was a glorious night for politics. Senator John McCain delivered his best speech to date using the word “change,” the cornerstone of Senator Barack Obama’s campaign, 33 times. McCain was fierce, talking about Obama’s lack of experience and discretion to be a wartime commander in chief. Senator Barack Obama, in the most anticipated speech of his political career, was eloquent, ... read more

Are you a fan of “Fatal Attraction” or “Dangerous Liaisons?” Seen the FX show “Damages” or “The Shield?” This morning we ran an interview that I recently did with Glenn Close while in New Orleans. I have not written about it on the blog as I waited for the interview to run but now that the cats out of the bag I can speak freely. First of all, she is stunning—and so beautiful ... read more

As I mentioned in my earlier blog today marks an end to the Democratic primary and caucus process. After 6 months and 61 contests, 31 delegates are up for grabs today in South Dakota and Montana and many believe and can prove that Sen.

It was one of the biggest New York ... read more

Summer is here! What a beautiful weekend. This weekend, my husband, boys and I went upstate to visit my mom. She has a house in Rhinebeck, New York. It's a little town on the Hudson River. We've been going there for years. Still feels like a throw back. My grandparents used to own a place in Chichester, New York, just north of Woodstock. As a kid we (my thirteen cousins) spent every summer out ... read more
