Okay, I'm gonna level with you - I spent this past New Year's Eve alone. And it was all my fault because I had to go and get into a fight. And I'm a peace-loving, calm, rational guy.

People like to perpetuate the idea of creativity as a result of divine inspiration followed by a burst of manic, late-night work, completed in a garret during a thunderstorm. But it's less poetic than that.

Last weekend America had the chance to be in the driver's seat, in a position of power. Instead, American media, and officials, chose the victim route focusing on our vulnerability rather than our resilience.

The new Nancy Meyers' film has a cast headed by Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. But the plot doesn't quite work, and the stars don't shine as brightly as they should, and... well, it's complicated.

There is a great American holiday tradition that flies under the radar annually. It's not only funny, but heartwarming and wildly entertaining. Every December 23rd Late Night with David Letterman celebrates the holiday.

Though the gathering was an innocent snowball fight, Fox News knew a war protest was amidst. What better way to protest war than by throwing snowballs at people who agree with you.

I think we owe it to the Copenhagen participants to recognize that, for these two weeks, they made the debate over health care seem reasonable by comparison.

I've also made great strides on the financial front. I discovered how to get the laundry machines in the basement to work without quarters! That ought to save me several dollars a week.

Once a year a network turns down a pilot that seems like a huge mistake to me. This year that show was Ronna and Bev, on Showtime. It's a weird show by two very Jewish women.

The biggest puzzle of course is how this actress of such exquisite sensibilities could mistake this for a comedy. Meryl Streep is a national treasure, and she should protect herself.

If you happen to have some spare sanitary napkins around, or know where you can borrow some, you've got the makings for some cushy slippers with non-slip grip strips and a built in deodorant feature for fresh feet.

Kris Kringle died last night at his home in the North Pole. He is best known for his work as "Santa Claus" and "Saint Nicholas." When sarcasm grew in the 80s, his career tanked, marred by low-budget films starring Tim Allen.

I missed George Carlin when he was making a name for himself in the 1970s, I skipped his groundbreaking HBO specials. I never saw him live. And the first line of his memoir, didn't exactly grab me.
