“Fox & Friends” on The Daily Caller

 (more)

Depending on your perspective this could be good or it could be bad – if you’re trying to gauge the character of a potential 2012 Republican presidential nominee. (more)

Patrick Rogers of Philadelphia appeared on Fox & Friends earlier this week to discuss outsmarting Wells Fargo bank into foreclosure before they did the same to him. Yet his financial savvy paled in comparison to his vampire-like appearance. Perhaps most surprising, Fox & Friends host Clayton Morris seemed completely unalarmed by the obvious similarity. It just goes to show that anything can happen on live television — even suddenly interviewing the living dead. (more)

Fox News Channel host Steve Doocy has had a bone to pick with Politico for some time now, suggesting that they are a left-wing blog and even swapping barbs on the air with the outlet’s Ben Smith last week. (more)

Now that Keith Olbermann has announced his departure from MSNBC, there’s a lot of guesswork going into determining what exactly was behind his departure. (more)

Could this be the signal of a new feud between two political media companies? (more)

Fight or flight? (more)

Long time no see! Been very busy, working hard on my rhubarb pie business (I didn’t tell you?!), which I’ve started out of my apartment. There isn’t too much rhubarb growing in Lower Manhattan, so it’s required much travel. And I’ve had to recruit several experts to help me get the process down and perfect a recipe. Okay, I’m obviously lying. I can barely add, let alone multiply and divide, so baking is out for me. Plus, I only cook with meat. Here’s what I’ve really been up to: (more)

After recently reading about an artist who created multi-colored bacon in the New York Daily News, I made a discovery that changed my life: There’s a website called  BaconToday.com, which offers “Daily Updates on the World of Sweet, Sweet Bacon.” There you can find sweet treats, like maple bacon ice cream, or read about a bacon marriage proposal. Think no one’s dumb enough to get a bacon tattoo? You’re wrong, and BaconToday.com has the photo. Or buy the Bacon Freak cookbook (subtitle: “Bacon is Meat Candy”). And when the rest of the media is stuck on the goings on at BP and in Afghanistan, only BaconToday.com will give you the story that San Francisco is trying to make Mondays meatless. Oh, the horror. (more)

I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles, where I was taping panel discussions for the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episodes airing on TV Guide Network. When “work” means sitting around a table with Susie Essman, Rich Eisen, Dave Foley and Jo Koy, talking about whether sex is the ultimate consolation or if Koreans really do eat dog, as Larry David asserts in the series, I’m not sure we shouldn’t redefine the concept of “a job.” I was just happy not to talk about BP for a minute—the rest was icing. And for the record, alcohol, not sex, is the ultimate consolation. (more)

Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle said Monday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has “waterboarded” the economy. (more)

Good evening, from the Oval Office. (more)

Last week I went on a much-needed vacation. When I tweeted as much, I was bombarded with a number of apoplectic and judgmental queries, wondering why, exactly, I needed a break. It seems as though because I get to hang out with Michael Waltrip at NASCAR races, flit about the networks in high heels feigning outrage, speak to college students (read: drink with college students) and pen horrifically self-indulgent diary entries about, well, nothing of any consequence, that my job isn’t the kind of thing one needs an occasional respite from. I assure you, this is all very hard work. (more)

If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of all the juicy gossip surrounding Japan’s Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, who’s stuck with an embarrassing 24 percent approval rating. The reasons are myriad, and his certifiably insane wife is definitely one of them—she says she gets energy boosts by “eating the sun.” But the nail in the coffin may be the shirt he recently wore to a cookout, which caused a national uproar. Yes, seriously. (more)

First, dear readers, I want to apologize for neglecting my Daily Caller Diary the past week or so. There’s no excuse, really, but that won’t stop me for offering one (or two). In addition to obsessively monitoring the Amazon rankings of my new book, I also wrapped up a grueling and rewarding journey of discovery in pursuit of my graduate degree. And it only took six years! After successfully defending my thesis (coming to a bookstore near you one day soon!), I am officially a Master of Religious Studies. Please address me accordingly—that means you, too, Mom. (more)

So, the new book, “Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity,” comes out on Tuesday, April 27. You’ll understand if I use this opportunity to share with you, my beloved diary readers here at The Daily Caller, some exclusive highlights. In particular, the really, really funny ones. (more)

The other night I was on the Joy Behar Show with Ron Reagan. The whole exchange made me wonder, is he altogether there? While talking about Sarah Palin, I suggested that the reason she fascinates so many average Americans is that she’s a self-made woman. Where the left tried to tell us for eight years that George W. Bush was a nepotism experiment gone wrong, Palin became a wildly successful person all on her own. To this, Ronny scoffed and tried to tell me that the only reason we’re talking about Palin is because McCain plucked her out of obscurity and vaulted her into celebrity. Does anyone else see the irony here? Ron Jr is a guy who was raised in Los Angeles by famous parents, got kicked out of prep school, dropped out of Yale, and only now has a career in political punditry because his anti-conservative views made him a mildly interesting novelty act. And he has the balls to criticize Sarah Palin’s career arc? I love guys like this, who are so disconnected from reality that they enthusiastically serve up totally nonsensical drivel—with pride and a shit-eating grin! (more)

So, let’s get right into it. I’m getting ready for the release of my newest book, “Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity,” out April 27 by Simon & Schuster. To that end, my Daily Caller editor’s exact words were, “Please promote the shit out of it in your column.” Thus: watch a salacious promotional video here, pre-order your copy here, get an autographed copy here, and go here to see where and when I’ll be speaking, signing and appearing. (more)

I slept on my pullout sofa the other night, just to mix things up. It was fun—felt like a vacation from my bed. It’s taking every ounce of energy I have not to surgically examine the fact that the only kind of getaway I can manage these days is one in which I travel a mere 17 feet and it’s over in about six hours. (more)

Last week I went to my first Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington. It was everything I expected it would be—bad hair, liberal mudslinging, awkward jokes, and sleazy sexual innuendo. And that was just Joe Biden’s speech. Otherwise, I had a blast—in the Fox suite I chatted with Rep. Michele Bachmann about health care and Catholicism, and Alisyn Camerota about the disturbing appeal of the Real Housewives franchise. Ran into Ed Schultz, Tracy Byrnes, Steve Hayes, Megyn Kelly and Harris Faulkner, and tried my best not to drool on Charles Krauthammer. The take-away? Never wear a strapless dress—my only concern all night was trying not to flash Roger Ailes. (more)
