Loving the Mittens and Rudy action on last night's uTube debate on CNN. Some highlights for us included Anderson Cooper's immaculate suit. If this whole TV new thing doesn't work out, he should hit the catwalks for sure. Fab. Who dresses that boy? We have an inkling that he does it himself and we could NOT love his fashion moxie more. Of course, he is pedigreed. We also liked seeing Charlie Christ, Florida's governor, standing up there amid the candidates. Bloody heck, we truly think he'd do as good a job as president as any of the folks seeking the office. We completely mean it, too. Finally: We need Mayor Rudy to just take the gloves off and act super presidential. He is trying too hard to be nice. Be mean, mayor. We know you've got some issues a-cookin' but who doesn't. GRRRRRRRR.

But wait, there's more: We bet one trillion dollars (invoking Dr. Evil posture) that SOMEONE at CNN knew that dude was a Hillary plant. Betcha. Not fashionable Anderson, of course, but someone.

We curled our hair like Farrah Fawcett and decided at the gym we are going to fix it like this thru the holidays. We're sick of that darned flat iron. We really are.

We found THE cutest hot pink tabletop tree at TJ Maxx and it is making our suburban news lair look ever so festive. That and playing "Mr. Hankie, the Christmas Poop" on our iTunes. We love Christmas music as much as anyone. BTW: Our fave scene in the Nutcracker is when all those mice come out and twirl in unison. Terrific.

Barbra Streisand is supporting Mrs. Clinton — SHOCKING. Are there two people in the universe who care who she's backing? AS IF. Shut up and sing, honey.
