Oh my GOD, you have to watch this. Chris Matthews' head begins to spin about four minutes in, where he tells this condescending asshat that if he gives Bush credit for keeping us safe after 9/11, he must also insist......

Now that Purim has passed (unless you live in Yerushalaim or another walled city and celebrate Shushan Purim ) , the countdown begins. There is a full lunar month between Purim (the 14th of Adar) and Pesach (the 14th of Nissan). Which really isn’t very much time at all, especially when youR...

Arlington, Va.: Help. I am a mom of a 17-month old, and I've been finding it really hard to plan quick, healthy meals for my family. I'm a fairly competent cook, and I love being in the kitchen, but now that my daughter is mobile, it's been hard for me to find time to cook dinner and pay attention t...

Thursday evening my X had to go to be with his dying grandmother. As of this second, she is still holding on, but it won't be long. I've been at the house since then.

  Britney Spears was stuffing her face with cake yesterday. She wants to pack on some pounds to play an elephant in her upcoming music video as an elephant in a circus. Hence the name of her album. ” Circus” Ha. I am so damn funny. Anyways, this bitch looks good one and looks like Thank...

A few news items that you might have missed while sleeping off your cranberry-sauce-and-stuffing coma: • Ne-Yo is going to bring his grown sexiness to the next Marilyn Manson album. [Hollywood Insider] • There's a Grammy Museum opening! It'll be like a Hard Rock Cafe, except more self-impo...

I am the last person in my family to get through his or her Thanksgiving leftovers. The food was good, at least, and the turkey was delicious if I do say so myself. We didn't eat much, and we did not have all the leftovers we figured we would. Thank God for that! It's quite easy to find recipes for ...
