California Congressman Darrell Issa has evidently gotten his “second wind” and in a Thursday evening interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper regarding Operation Fast and Furious and a similar project in Texas, accused the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of lying to Congress. The interview came at the end of a lengthy report on illegal gun walking that appears to have been permitted under the Obama administration in 2009 and 2010 in more places than just Arizona. It may be seen here, and this is what Issa told Cooper: ‘We’ve been lied to by the Department...

There was a giant serving of frosting when dueling domestic divas Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray bumped into each other at hot New York City restaurant Il Buco Alimentaria & Vineria. The atmosphere froze over when the rival cuisine queens found themselves at nearby tables at the new eatery Thursday night. Witnesses said Stewart, whose daytime television show was recently canceled, was "noticeably glaring in Ray's direction throughout her meal." Meanwhile, Ray, who was seated with Time magazine food writer Josh Ozersky, became visibly uncomfortable -- so much so that after having her appetizer, she left with her main course...

A hearing is scheduled in front of the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission on Friday to hear a complaint filed by Orly Taitz, with the apparent support of two state lawmakers, that raises allegations of fraudulent documents and fraudulent Social Security Number use on the part of Barack Obama. The hearing is scheduled Friday at 2 p.m. in Room 307 of the New Hampshire Legislative Office Building and Taitz is encouraging the public to be present. The state holds the first primary for presidential elections, and that is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2012.

Talk show host and maven of all things domestic Martha Stewart has spotted an opportunity. According to The Washington Post's Lisa de Moraes, Stewart wants to take on interview icons Larry King and Barbara Walters: "My favorite interviewers are Larry King [and] Barbara Walters, both of whom are kind of retiring," Stewart said in a conference call Wednesday... "Who's going to take their place as the serious, great interviewer? I'm throwing my name in there," Martha told reporters on a call to talk about the return of "The Martha Stewart Show," which premieres Sept. 13 on the Hallmark Channel. Of...

Red meat politics it's not. Lasagne in the White House is not a beef and pork affair. White House chef Cristeta Comerford has spilled the beans about a favorite Obama family dish, revealing to Martha Stewart that the First Family likes their lasagne with ground turkey, ramped up with onion, garlic, tomatoes and fresh parsley. (The official recipe follows).

Convicted Felon Martha Stewart Says Sarah Palin Is "Dangerous"

Martha Stewart on Sarah Palin: "Very Boring" Don't ask domestic diva Martha Stewart to break bread with, buy a book from, or listen to a speech by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Palin is pushing her book with a presidential campaign-style bus tour of so-called "Red" states and Republican-leaning cities. She may be on magazine covers and Fox News, fut Stewart has apparently tuned out the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and self-styled "hockey mom." "I wouldn't watch her if you paid me," Stewart told a TV interviewer on Monday. Why not? "She's very boring to me," Stewart replied. "She's...

Martha Stewart Banned from Britain for Spreading Hate and Pastels Posted by Anthony Sacramone on May 6, 2009 Or was it hate of pastels? No. Wait. It was because of her arrest record. She’s a felon. A dangerous, wild-eyed felon. (If you think this is an unfortunate exaggeration, have you ever owned one of her lamps?) She’s not the only ruthless criminal barred from Britain. Mental Floss has compiled a list of a few others who will not be seeing Big Ben up close any time soon. (Although it’s probably time to give the Paul Robeson thing a rest. He...

BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan - A Russian rocket carrying the American billionaire who helped develop Microsoft Word blasted off late Saturday from the Baikonur cosmodrome en route to the international space station. ADVERTISEMENT The Soyuz rocket, which also carried two cosmonauts, roared into overcast nighttime skies over the bleak Kazakh steppes, bathing the launch pad and dozens of officials and well-wishers a mile away in a glow of flame as it rose vertically then turned downrange. Charles Simonyi, a 58-year-old Hungarian-born software programmer, paid more than $20 million for a 13-day trip to the orbiting station. He is the fifth paying space...

Martha Stewart Picks Space Pal's MenuPOSTED: 1:11 pm EDT April 6, 2007 BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan -- Martha Stewart has trekked from her chic surroundings to the bleak steppes of Kazakhstan to watch a friend blast into space. Stewart is a longtime friend of billionaire Charles Simonyi, who has paid up to $25 million for a lift on a Soyuz rocket to the space station. He takes off Saturday with two Russian cosmonauts for a 13-day adventure. Simonyi is a software engineer and developer of Microsoft Word. He's been friends with Stewart for about ten years. She packed a treat for the...

So far, the current uproar over the replacing of some U.S. Attorneys (something any president has the perfect right to do) looks like another attempt by Democrats to manufacture a scandal where there is none. Of course, it may well turn out that someone did something wrong, we don’t know yet; but the case has raised another issue that must be faced. Foolish or not, when Martha Stewart was arrested, tried and convicted for lying about a situation that did not involve any illegalities, I decided I would never answer any questions put to me by any federal agent.

MOSCOW - A former software developer at Microsoft could make a trip to the international space station next year aboard a Russian rocket ship, the RIA news agency reported Monday. Hungarian-born Charles Simonyi, who was one of the key developers behind applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel, would become the world's fifth paying space passenger. (MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.) ... Simonyi, a Seattle-area resident, is an experienced pilot. He has also been romantically linked with domestic magnate Martha Stewart in the gossip columns. Simonyi accompanied Stewart on a recent zero-gravity flight, and in a narrated video of...

Martha Stewart was just on Fox News. Cavuto called her on her contributions to the democrat party. She seemed surprised that he had that information. When questioned by Cavuto she tried to take a non-partisan stance explaining in her business she needed to be neutral. Those with the technology to obtain her contribution records need to inform her that the information is available to all. Follow up on Neal's exposure. Let her know we ALL know!

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a plug Tuesday to the women in his life — his mother, his mother-in-law, his wife and chief of staff — during a women's conference that was being protested by female union members. The conference was the scene two years ago of the governor's much-publicized clash with members of the California Nurses Association, who were protesting outside. But in a reflection of Schwarzenegger's improved political fortunes, their rally Tuesday outside the Long Beach Convention Center was far smaller than the noisy events unions held during last year's special election. Schwarzenegger kept his remarks brief, speaking for...

(JHR) Ted Kennedy and his fellow liberal socialists in Massachusetts must be breaking out their fat cigars as they hoot and holler over the absolute mockery that California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his leftist Democrat wife, Maria Shriver, are making of the California GOP. What liberal Democrats could not accomplish through the failed leadership of ousted Democratic Governor Gray Davis, they have certainly accomplished through the great conservative betrayal of Team Shriver-Schwarzenegger. Both Shriver and Schwarzenegger have each hired homosexuals to be their respective chiefs of staff. Both have taken blood oaths to promote the radical elements of the...

Six years after Martha Stewart said she was leaving Westport, Conn., the domestic diva really is bidding farewell to this wealthy seaside town -- if only someone will buy her house. Stewart has been trying for more than two months to sell her early-19th-century federal-style farmhouse for $9 million. Real estate experts say it's not unusual for luxury homes to take at least a few months to sell -- even those with Martha's famous touch. ``It's the most beautiful property I've ever seen,'' said Eileen Hill, president of the Mid Fairfield County Association of Realtors. ``Every blade of grass stands...
