Yeah, you think I know "Survivor" pretty well? In Friday’s blog entry I wrote, "Barring an immunity win, Eliza will go first. Then if Chris wins immunity, he’ll vote off Scout – making the final 2 Chris and Twila which Chris will win." And that’s exactly what happened. The next installment will come from Pulau and will have 20 castaways. 20! I think that’s way too many.

Last night was a family Hanukkah dinner. Mom made the best pot roast. So soft and tender, drool...

Lots of sketchy stuff is coming out about Bernard Kerik and the reasons he withdrew as Homeland Security Chief. First there was the illegal immigrant nanny. Then there were the unreported gifts. Then there’s the affairs. Apparently he was having two extramarital affairs simultaneously, one of which was with publishing guru Judith Regan. The Daily News identifies Regan today as having "studied literature at Vassar." Woo hoo – props to my alma mater.

It’s so funny how partisan the New York Post is. The tabloids always jump on these juicy, gossipy stories. Naturally, the Kerik story is perfect for the frontpages, i.e. the Daily News and Newsday have been all over it. But wait, Kerik is a Republican! And he’s been vouched for by Rudy Giuliani, the Post’s darling. So is Kerik on the cover today? No! What is? A story about Bill Clinton and Marc Rich. Unbelievable! Hence the motto of the Rupert Murdoch media empire - when the heat is on our guys, distract attention by attacking Clinton.
