My, my he does look a little anxious here...bet he was one scared dude in that coal mine, hee hee...

Look at daisyscarlet's picture of Kerry-in-the-coal-miner-hat. I saw it on TV. They've wrapped some little red/white/blue bunting around the lamp! It looked really dorky on TV. Almost as dorky as this:
Note the metrosexual color coordination with bike/shirt/helmet!
Actual cover of Dick Morris new book -- out next week.
Looking forward to your report, I hope it's a long story. I haven't read anything of yours lately and enjoy your writing so leave out no detail.
Re: Rocco, he didn't do much cooking from what I saw, since it was a 'reality tv' show it didn't seem strange and there's only been one restaurant job in my life, ok, it was a pizza place, so what do I know?
However, it was my idea to take the garlic bread, schmear a little tomato sauce, cheese, well you know the rest. I think that might have been before Stoffer's French Bread pizza. They put it on the menu, it was a hit. Great with a house salad for lunch. And....... that's about it for my restaurant experience. Did I forget to mention I was the dishwasher? :-)
I must get to the bookstore next Monday and read chapter six, Dick claims he makes the case Ken Starr should have made instead of Lewinsky that would have gotten clinton impeached with a slam dunk.
Hmmmmmm, campaign finance maybe?
And certainly making an ass out of himself this morning with Charlie Gibson while ten or more miners sat behind him isn't sitting too well. But then I have to ask, is he even aware of what a fop (my new word for the week) he is?
UT and ds, this is soooo good... I watched Wolfe Blitzer interview the Customs Inspector that stopped Ressam (would be LAX bomber) and it was priceless.
Wolf asked her if as Clarke said, it was the clinton administration's heightened terrorist alert that prompted her to catch Ressam. No, she said, they didn't have an alert system, she had no instructions to look for terrorists and thought initially the bags of powder (the first thing they found) were drugs. Only after they found wire, watches and other bomb making materials did they know what they had.
At then end Wolfe told us that Richard Clarke did not return their call to appear on the program. Ha!
That hard working Customs Inspector's name is Diana Dean, click here to read her prepared statement to the senate judiciary committee. No full story on cnn yet.
"Jack [Heinz] was my age. So I married a younger guy—they say women should. Cradle snatcher! I've always liked babies."
JL, the "hard work" aspect of restaurant cooking is what finally "done me in." The 12-hour days on my feet, toting 50# boxes of potatoes and the like wreaked havoc on my back and tootsies. I'm back to the sedentary life.
Do you think this will give me hat hair?
Sir Pizza Pizzeria! That was some good pizza! They originated in Michigan, our store closed many moons ago. :-(
Oh please let there be tape of this!

Effin' is so out of touch he doesn't get that he's on the wrong side of the cash register for the 'cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers' routine.
A special part of cnn last night... Aaron Brown showed the end of the clip of Effin's interview, his mic is still on and is heard saying, Gibson's working for the RNC. (something close to that) Ooooo, he was very angry. :-)
"Hmmmmm, I wonder what these round metal things are."
PARIS Hilton amused us in "The Simple Life." Now her parents are going to give it a go in "The Good Life." Rick and Kathy Hilton, via Handprint Entertainment, have convinced NBC to buy their version of "The Beverly Hillbillies." A family from the boondocks would be plopped down in New York, live with the Hiltons at the Waldorf, and be taught how to make it in high society. CBS tried to do a remake of "The Beverly Hillbillies," but it never made it onto the air. "Kathy and Rick have a softer touch [than CBS]," our insider said. "It's their turn to shine." NBC didn't return calls.

MONICA Lewinsky was manning a stand at the Chelsea Flea Market on Saturday and Sunday selling tchotchkes, but it's not a new career for the former White House intern. She and her friend Victoria Leacock were simply getting rid of things. "It was old stuff they had lying around. They cleaned out their closets," said Lewinsky's mouthpiece, Barbara Huttson. Lewinsky is a "flea market addict," Huttson said. But she won't be going back: "They called themselves 'the one-weekend wonder.'
How fast will Lewinsky's junk end up on EBay? Hopefully all the buying customers got a free Monica creation ugly purse, it'd be the only way to get rid of them.
LIKE all good mobsters, "The Sopranos" have a long memory. Two years ago, then-gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo took a poll to see whether New Yorkers thought the popular HBO series was anti-Italian. On Sunday, the Sopranos got even. When Carmela's mother boasted about her cultured Italian friends - Lena and Dr. Russ Fegoli, a retired assistant to the ambassador to the Vatican - the estranged wife of mob boss Tony Soprano was not impressed. Carmela sniffed about the couple: "She of the five-page Christmas card . . . and then on Flag Day, Grandpa Russ shook hands with Andrew Cuomo . . . what an honor.' BFD (Big f- - -ing Deal)!" Cuomo told The Post's Kenneth Lovett it was the mob show's revenge: "I mentioned their name in a poll and they mentioned mine in the show," he laughed.

Decisions, decisions, a Jade Jagger party or a slow torturous death?
MARY Richardson thought the guy sharing the elevator with her and her husband, Robert Kennedy Jr., at the Gramercy Park Hotel the other day looked vaguely familiar. It turned out that the man on the way up with them to the password-only rooftop party for the launch of Jade Jagger's new Garrard jewelry line was none other than Marc Benecke, the notorious door god from Studio 54. He and Mary hadn't seen each other since the disco closed way back in 1978. "It was an emotional disco reunion," according to our source. Also at the rooftop bash: Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Damon Dash, Eva Mendes, Brooke Shields, Jimmy Fallon and Bianca Jagger, who danced up a storm to the sounds of the salsa band.
