This weekend we took a jaunt in our Airstream and went to the happiest valley on earth- Santa Ynez. We joined the crowd and followed the Hummers and the fat cats, the hip hoppers, the boomer doo-wopper's, and the southern California Valley Girls to the memorial festival and up to...

Salmonella may as well be referred to as "the bad witch of the south," she's in your kids lunchbox and maybe even their brains.

Dear President Elect Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama,

Jim and I wanted to share some very exciting news. Healthy Child Healthy World (formerly CHEC) has been given four stars on Charity Navigator -- the highest rating bestowed. We are so proud!

In his final days, even hours, he must be preparing for...

I'm really tired of commercials for clogged arteries, but tonight's debate brought new meaning to clogged drains. Joe the plumber, a blue-collar worker and one of McCain's friends is really concerned about Obama's tax plans. He's afraid that as a small business owner, he won't have saved enough income to...

As the world awaited one of the most provocative Vice Presidential Debates-- over, 3,100 media credentials had been issued, the most the Commission on Presidential Debates ever needed in the seven vice presidential debates it's hosted--it's very clear that Sarah Palin is not here to stay. Just like Judy Garland...

Here's a new one liner for all you gals who like to wear that stuff. Don't give me that lip again... but I've just learned that Sarah's lipstick can kill a pig! And this news is more than just another one of those political smear campaigns.

Barack was right. Lipstick...

You know, in 1964 I use to wear my hair like that. They called it a coiffure -- which meant it was a do -- a real hairdo.

This gal of a governor -- uses enough hair spray to melt all of the glaciers in Alaska -- okay -- that's...

How our government wants to wipe away the bad news about unsafe levels of lead in children's lunch boxes.

Today's news should make every parent angry or angrier at the thought that wax paper, aluminum foil, and baggies are not impervious to what many scientists claim...
