I just finished reading the New York Times and I want to throw up.

And it's not another rats in the KFC store article.

The article was about kids who live in homes with water so contaminated by coal slurries that their nightly baths leave their bodies covered in rashes,...

So, I was at the White House last week...

I think that has to be one of those lines that if you ever have the opportunity to actually write it, you kind of have to. But I digress.

I'd love to say I was at the White House...

So after watching Grey Gardens last night on HBO, I took a shower because unlike the Beales I have hot water and an aversion to filth, and reflected on how minimalism is the new opulence (I'm tired of everything being the new black). Looking at the piles of cans and...

Is it just me?

Or did one thing irritate you more than any other "Aw, Shucks," " You Betcha," "Say it ain't so, Joe" moment during the debate?

It actually came after the debate, when for seemingly the millionth time, Sarah Palin trotted out her piece de resistance,...

Dear Ms. Fey,

We, the people, need you.

We need you to be Sarah Palin each and every Saturday night, live from New York.

How else to explain the sudden about face of Governor Palin's popularity in the polls just days after your brilliant spot-on impersonation on...

On Sunday, an average of 97.5 million people watched what just might prove to be the greatest Super Bowl in the history of the NFL, perhaps the most incredible championship game in all of sports. I was lucky enough to be in Phoenix take it all in.

And yet today,...

Never one for wishing me to enjoy my Sunday morning cup of coffee without a heaping teaspoon of drama, my good friend Jules sent me the following headline to start my day:

"Huckabee's son: What the f*%k is wrong with these guys...Romney and this dude?"

The answer: Plenty,...

I got into a fight this morning.

I was midway through my morning walk with my dog. Hudson. We make the same loop around our neighborhood every day, for the most part, a quiet winding road up and around our little enclave within Coldwater Canon. And then, I walked...

Had some time on my hands, what with having been left off the Playboy's Sexiest Sportscasters 2008 list, and as the HuffPo's female sportscaster in residence, thought I'd take some time to answer some of the 146 and counting responses to the contest.

First of all, to the...

Can you imagine the impact of a mandatory recycling campaign based on those 99 barrels of beer on the wall? How about a voluntary one?

Americans pour their way through 210,000,000 million barrels of liquid gold every year, and there is no shortage in sight. Forget about Middle Eastern...

Rod Woodson sat on his couch with his wife watching Oprah, and became horrified by the pictures he saw and the words he heard. He immediately knew that he had to help bring about a change.

Woodson, the man who rose from the couch, only happens to be an...

Interestingly enough, the day that Columbia University announced it was hosting the world's most famous hypocrite and Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I received my seventeen-thousandth solicitation of the year urging me to give to the Columbia College Fund. I, myself, am a formerly proud member of the Columbia College Class...

My dog has no balls.

And I'm proud of it.

That's not to say he isn't brave (he guards his house like the best of them) or handsome or virile or protective. He just has no balls because he doesn't need them. They were removed when I had him neutered...
