Growing up in New York, part of the Christmas morning tradition was WPIX's Yule Log. Puzzle - how was it that after 3 or 4 hours it never seemed to turn to ash? THAT was the miracle of Christmas. Well, after a 12 year absence it returned this year burning the competition in the ratings.
Speaking of narcissism, The Smoking Gun.com uncovers some contract riders on a regular basis which expose the entertainment industries' eccentric divas (and devums, too.) JLo gets the latest award. I wonder if the flowers have to be room temperature too??
For pure narcissism, you can't beat the Clinton confab held up in his new Harlem digs. Spin City is alive and well. Richard Cohen takes a sip of the Clinton Kool-Aid and concludes Bill would have been done more against bin Laden - if only the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy hadn't distracted him. Luckily, back here on Earth, Professor Baker sees the meeting for what it really was - sad.
