Stimulus Package

And no that’s not a double entendre.  A debate has broken out here in the Greenroom this morning among our political pundits about the President’s economic stimulus plan.  Here’s the tricky part:  the plan involves tax rebates for some illegal immigrants.  As we pointed out in our on-air debate, when it comes to immigration, there’s a huge gray area.  Millions of immigrants came here legally but neglected to renew their visas and are now “out of status”.  They have legitimate social security numbers, they pay taxes, are they entitled to the rebate?

What Happens in Vegas …

Back to Business

Curious what you all think about the debate about Barack Obama’s body language toward Hillary Clinton at the State of the Union Address?  As Hillary approached, hand outstretched, Obama turned in another direction.  Was it a slight?  Or was he just giving Hillary and Ted Kennedy a moment to chat amongst themselves, as his strategist said?  Brian argued that if Obama really doesn’t like Clinton, he shouldn’t fake it.  Steve thinks Obama should act presidential and shake her hand.  Thoughts?

Vegas Revealed!

What happens in Vegas does NOT stay there in this case. 

We start with our first night out…

Vegas baby, Vegas!

I’m back from my girls weekend in Vegas and boy are my arms tired. Not from flying but from our pole dancing class (hey, it’s Vegas - what did you expect??).

Old friends and fellow crime-fighters Jennifer, Diane, Andrea, Julie and I were reunited for the first time since Diane’s wedding 7 years ago. Now to answer the most-asked question upon my return to F&F: No, we were NOT responsible for the Monte Carlo fire. But it was hot (as Paris would say). In true Vegas fashion, it was a weekend of wild extravagence: we drank Cristal champagne (sent over by a mystery benefactor), ate steak and stone crabs, danced all night with celebrities at hotspots Pure and Bank, then recovered with spa whirlpools and hot stone massages. I cannot confirm this but there may have been some extreme shopping which I promised never to mention to anyone’s husbands (they don’t read In the Greenroom, do they?)

Manolo Blahnik was having a SALE, after all. But none of that was the highlight for me. I went for the bonding and these long-lost girlfriends delivered. We shared old stories from our days chasing fugitives and new stories of nights now spent chasing toddlers. And, of course, no girls weekend is complete without a ceremony to cement the adventure. Here was the email instruction for our last day together, “Meet in lobby at 1:30, bring spandex and high heels, cancel all spa appointments for afternoon, don’t ask questions.” Call me Kreskin, but I quickly deduced what lay ahead. And let’s just say I believe I’ve found my true calling.

I’ve never been good at any athletic activity but I can now confidently say if the Olympic Games ever add Pole Dancing, I will bring home the gold. Don’t take my word for it — check out the photos that I’ll be adding later today.

Now back to reality…what questions would you like me to ask Chuck Norris when he saunters into the Greenroom momentarily?
