I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.

Just as a puppy can be more of a challenge than a gift, so too can the holidays.

All holidays can be good times.

Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.

We are coming back just four years from today.

Looking at female candidates today, other women are the hardest on them, especially older women who were brought up in a different culture.

Last week in the Homeland Security Committee, Republicans were against port security; and today, one week after Democrats unveiled our Real Security Agenda, they're for it.

I believe the American people spoke loud and clear to the Bush Administration in yesterday's election that they disapprove of the current direction in the war in Iraq. As a result, the President wasted no time in dumping Secretary Rumsfeld.

I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.
