...back down to the business of running the country today. His first move: a proposal to meet Republicans "half way" on budget issues and trim $100 billion in Medicare spending over a period of five years. Wary of the President's batting score beating the GOP to the punch on their issues, Republicans immediately began questioning the overture and in some cases labeling it nothing more than a political sham.

Few give credit to the stylemaker for her egalitarianism (in that spirit, one of her guests this year is the thinking man's proletarian, Dennis Franz, who swings by Martha's Connecticut home for a glass of punch). Throughout her holiday special Martha preaches cheap elegance, counseling us to wrap our gifts in inexpensive tulle and tissue paper, showing us how to make tree ornaments out of tin.
