"You can never have too much butter – that is my belief. If I have a religion, that's it," she quipped in an NPR interview

But in the end, some people may find that they have too little real religion.

Oh no. Poor woman. She was married to Watergate Bernstein. He ruined their marriage with an affair. He claimed he was at the dentist having root canals when, in fact, he was drilling some babe all the time.

Nora Ephron’s Rage and Hatred
April 21, 2008

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2008/04/21/nora_ephron_s_rage_and_hatred

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Nora Ephron today at the Huffington Post: another example of how stupid and racist liberals are. She begins this way: “Here’s another thing I don’t like about this primary: Now that there are only two Democratic candidates, it’s suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race.” Well, Nora, it’s always been about gender and race and sex and bigotry and so forth. This is identity politics! That’s what the Democrat Party’s known for. She correctly then asserts, “This may have always been true, but weeks ago it wasn’t so obvious — once upon a time there were eight candidates, and although six of them withered away, their presence in the campaign managed to obscure things. Even around the time of Ohio, when there were primarily three candidates, the outlines were murky, because Edwards was still in there, picking up votes from all sectors. But now there are two and we’re facing Pennsylvania and whom are we kidding? This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don’t mean people, I mean white men.

I do like When Harry Met Sally. Not sure I've seen her other stuff.

The movie, Heartburn, based on her book and directed by Mike Nichols, was a hoot.

Sad news. I happen to have known her well for a long time. For being known. Now I’ll know her for being known and dead.

It was....my favorite scene is when Jack Nicholson complains....( paraphrasing) “every day, millions of single men do a laundry. They wash tens of millions of pairs of socks each day. And each day millions of socks go missing. Now just where do they all go?”
