'Tis the Sunday before Christmas (and the first night of Chanukah), and I am scrambling to finish up my holiday gift list. Bernie Madoff has really got me stumped. What do you give the man who has stolen everything? Muntader al-Zaidi can obviously use a new pair of shoes (Size 10). Bristol Palin can use a blue fur-lined onesie (plus a good lawyer for her future mother-in-law). And I'm giving a Taser to Mika Brzezinski (not to use on future muggers; it's for Rush next time he tries to play her mugging for laughs). I can use some help playing Santa. So post your gift ideas for public figures in the comments section below and we'll collect the best ones and unwrap them on Christmas Day.
Late Friday night a coalition of environmental and preservation groups filed an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management that could save 100,000 acres of pristine land that are endangered.
No one in New York politics knows more about the state than Liz Moynihan. And no one else can tell us what Pat Moynihan would think about who should be the next person to take his old seat in the Senate.
The film's plot is a contrivance -- its telling is so riddled with departures from what actually happened as to be fundamentally dishonest; and its climactic moment is purely and simply a lie.
When historians look for a name that sums up the Bush II years, they could do worse than calling them The "Who Could Have Known?" Era.
One of them has a law degree from Columbia and has co-written two critically acclaimed books about the Bill of Rights. The other has a journalism degree from college in general and had a memorable conversation with Katie Couric.
As founder of Craigslist, it seems right to say something about what I think of the idea on change.gov to create "a craigslist for service."
Joe, please don't ask me for any more money until you figure out that Rick Warren hasn't been buttering your bread. People like me have been doing that, and we are getting a little ticked off.
Obama may well get some Republicans to cross over and vote for a Democratic plan, but that strategy is not being bipartisan. It is being an astute partisan.
Who says Jews can't adapt the customs of their surrounding communities without surrendering their Jewish identities? After all, we've been doing it for thousands of years.
I feel as if we're sitting back again, waiting for Obama to be inaugurated so he can fix it all. Did "yes we can" really evaporate that quickly?
My office is filling up once again with parents complaining about what awful children they have. So many parents feel that their children are rude, lazy, high maintenance, and just not very much fun to be around.
Christmas is the Dick Cheney of holidays -- it purports to be there for noble purposes but blatantly demonstrates wholly unholy ones.
The power of gay people is not in our numbers, it's in the number of people we touch. It is hard work to convince people that when it comes to equal rights, we are all in this together.
We may be on the brink of inaugurating a black president, but the miscarriage of justice unfolding in Louisiana with the case of the Angola 3 tells a different story about race, power and accountability.
Man-oh-man-oh-man! All of this tedious crap about how I do not love Caroline Kennedy enough!
You're kidding, right? This is more about protecting a Democratic Senate seat than romanticizing it.
Eat your heart out Brad! Angelina who? Here's why stripping in public let firm, cellulite-free Jen wash her ex right out of her hair and her life... at last!
Caroline Kennedy would like to be considered Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2009 and has let the magazine's editor know of her interest in the honor, aides to Ms. Kennedy confirmed today.
I am very disappointed by President-elect Obama's decision to honor Reverend Rick Warren with a prominent role in his inauguration.
