I'm not going to lie.

My brain still fuzzy after the 4th's fireworks and libations, I had to rub my eyes and go get my glasses upon reading this morning's headlines.

"Obama: Mental distress can't justify late abortion"

My heart sank.

Then I...

It's funny how inspiration works.

I am on a flight from Denver to Los Angeles and I HAVE to bust out my HUGE laptop. Before I was even allowed to turn on this very hot pink Dell, I was scribbling notes in the margins of a book.

As...

Or Laura Bush. Or Barbara Bush. Or Hillary Clinton. Or myself.

Why?

We're white.

As discussion swirls around 'fist-bumps' and so-called 'news stations' labeling the next potential First Lady as 'Obama's Baby Mama' let us all be very clear: racism is not ok just because...

Hiya Dunkin Donuts,

You are kidding right? You didn't really pull a Rachael Ray ad off the air because Michelle Malkin thinks the scarf she's wearing is a "keffiyeh?"

Really?

Really?

I never thought I'd say this but, Rachael Ray is not a terrorist.

Why?

By bringing up Bobby Kennedy's assassination in conjunction with reasons she should continue her race to become the Democratic Nominee she has officially lost her mind. It's beyond irresponsible and beyond reprehensible.

I'm not really sure how to make up with my Hillary Clinton-supporting friends.

I got damn mad at them. They got damn mad at me.

Even when we tried to be civil, we were gritting our teeth and muttering swear words.

I accused their candidate of turning GOP....

I did it.

I put an Obama '08 bumper sticker on the back of the Momvan, MOSTLY to reassure MYSELF this nomination is not going to be stolen.

See the bumper sticker is never coming off. Someone is going to buy the 'ol Town & Country years from now and...

I feel very lucky that back in July of 2006, Arianna and I chatted at the BlogHer conference in San Jose and she immediately invited me to blog. Since then, I've managed to piss off, rally, inspire, and bore readers far and wide.

That would be me.

I'm not kidding.

Remember all the stuff I was saying about how the women in tech are ignored? They are never asked to speak at conferences, entirely overlooked, blah blah blah blah blah? I think I also touched on how the big bad tech boys who...

As I get ready to Twitter, LiveBlog, and run an Open Thread on tonight's Democratic debate I've been told ABC is not treating this as a live event, but as a television show. They will be showing the debate TAPE DELAYED to the West Coast.

Um...ABC, in...

It has been awhile since I've been back to my hometown near Detroit, Michigan. I took the kids there in early 2007; the cold and unemployment were a stark reminder of why I left.

The abandoned buildings. For Sale signs. The way the road goes from smooth to bumpy when...

As I do from time-to-time here on Huffington Post, I am turning over the keys to another insightful and mouthy woman. Meet Victoria

Calling "These People" Out: More on the Increasingly Tiresome -- And Dangerous -- Obama/Clinton Divide

By Victoria Marinelli

On Super Tuesday, February 5th 2008, I drove to Central Los Angeles (with pneumonia) and interviewed Congresswoman Maxine Waters for BlogHer.com.

During the course of the interview we discussed why she was supporting Senator Hillary Clinton and I shared with her the story of my very stubborn...

I'm fairly certain I have read this New York Times article on Barack Obama's mother, the late Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro, no less than five times.

I'm the first to admit my own path in motherhood is rocky. Rocky isn't the right word... it's been more like pebbles here...

In the grand tradition of having it out with my fellow Huffington Post contributors, I figured it was time I opened my mouth at the latest post by Roseanne Barr.

You see, I've actually been biting my tongue on her writing thus far. Her posts have been...

I'm not sure if you've been paying attention lately, but traditional media seems to be a few steps behind social media.

They can't break news as fast as Twitter. They can't seem to get hot topics discussed as fast as blogs. And they can't seem to get a...

It's always empowering to know you are not alone.

I've encountered many female communities in my lifetime that have reminded me why women are so very influential.

This latest effort reminds me once again the hand that rocks the cradle, rocks the world.

Visit the...

This is a very hard letter for me to write, so please bear with me.

I'd like to ask you, with all due respect and humility, to step down as a Democratic candidate for president of the United States.

Please understand this is not because I believe you can not...

I need to stand up and take Senator Hillary Clinton's side on this one.

There is no excuse for a network on-air personality to say Chelsea Clinton was "sort of being pimped out" by the Clinton campaign. And Barbara Walters is rather deluded if she thinks this issue...

I'm handing the keys of my Huffington Post contributor account today to a bright young woman named Chloe Spencer. She's 16, she blogs, and she deserves your attention and respect (I'm looking at you snarky commenters)-I think Chloe represents the growing voice of young America with passion and intelligence. And...
