  7. The secret life of Maureen Dowd
    September 10, 09

    It is quite an image... Maureen Dowd, scourge of every president since Poppy Bush and, arguably, the most powerful journalist in America thanks to her must-read column in The New York Times, talking of the road not taken, living a quiet life as a barkeep's wife back in Clare. Maybe that image isn’t so fanciful, though.

    Overlooking Hillary A Mistake?

    BARACK Obama's decision not to pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate may well condemn him to defeat in November.

    At least that's the stark evidence from the latest polling, which shows white women moving in droves to the new John McCain/Sarah Palin ticket, no doubt attracted by the historic choice of Alaska Governor Palin.

    Obama seems in danger of repeating the Al Gore mistake of 2000 when he refused to involve the Clintons in his race, and lost narrowly in states such as Arkansas he would almost certainly have won if Bill Clinton campaigned for him.

    Farrell and Gleeson will compete against each other in the best actor in a musical or comedy category, while the film will also compete for best musical or comedy.

    News of yet another Christmas album coming out this time of year is fairly humdrum. Celtic Woman and everyone else dress up their Irish melodies for the holidays with green mistletoe, and the prospect of reviewing these fa-la-la-la-lame musical gestures at the bottom of my mailbag is about as appealing as putting away a third slice of fruitcake in one sitting.

    Of course, when your name is Enya and you drop "And Winter Came," you are impossible to ignore.
