Maybe you agree with ON THE RECORD at 10pm viewer Andy Miller (below) but I do not. He wrote me about last night's segment where I criticized (and very loudly) Citibank for raising the interest rate on a 91 year old's credit card to 29.9% (ten point increase.) Why did Citibank do it? because they could (fine print in the contract) and the bank can't do it after February 2010 when a new law goes ... read more
Yes....the health care system is all screwed up. We need to get it right and we need to be efficient.
I had my annual physical and got one bill (of many) which of course I don't understand (who does understand medical bills?) The one bill that caught my attention was for $2082.56.

After a while you wonder if anyone knows what telling the truth means. When you are slick with the facts, it is a lie. The New York Times sugar coats it with the word "confusion" (see below) but it is just a big fat lie and we should call it that.
Oprah...President Clinton...and even I have been conned (and yes, thousands of others.) We all promoted and gave to an organization called ... read more
Good Morning! Are you ready for the week? I confess, I am a bit confused about my schedule and a bit fatigued. I still have not fully recovered from jet lag -- no sooner did I get back from North Korea that I went to Pakistan and Berlin and for some reason I am slow at getting back on east coast schedule. Usually I can get over jet lag very fast and get on a regular east coast ... read more
My husband and I went for a walk today -- yes, November 8 -- and already the decorations are up. Is it too early? This pic was taken in an open mall in Bethesda, Maryland. So..what do you think? too early ? or good timing?
