What's different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders.

I'm a jewelry girl. I became with friends with designer Irene Neuwirth a few years ago. At that point I just used to wear my wedding rings. Very low key. Now if I could I'd be draped from head to toe in her jewelry all the time. Everything she makes is beautiful.
