Within hours, chief economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey, stranded in the snow at his suburban Virginia home, got a call from chief of staff Andrew Card. He wanted to meet the next day. In a time-honored Washington version of hara-kiri, Lindsey offered his resignation before he was fired. The next one expected to go, probably next month, is the head of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, Glenn Hubbard, who wants to return to teaching. His departure would complete the housecleaning that began when Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Harvey Pitt resigned on election night. Though the abruptness...

This is beyond the coincidence that your roommate looks just like Scarlet O’Hara, because unlike your no-talent ass-clown of a roommate I have a deeper connection. I was born on Thanksgiving.

He infused his 20 volumes with lyrical improvisations and exuberant homages to such items as business letterheads, furniture, lipstick and fudge...
...Clearly annoyed, defense attorney Michael Sherman told the jury the prosecution put O'Hara on the stand to tell them that Moxley flirted with Michael Skakel, part of the prosecution's theory of why he allegedly killed her. "That's what she's here for," he barked. Attempting to counter the testimony about Moxley's flirtations, he asked O'Hara: "Did that lead you to believe that someone was going to be murdered? Did you think "Oh my gosh, something horrible is going to happen?" "No," she replied...
