The president of CBS handpicked me for the 'Star Search' revival, which Arsenio Hall hosted. He picked 12 comics, and I was the only female. I always look to that as inspiration.

Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.

That's the one thing I have to say to females. If you don't have a certain look, or if you look a certain way, they won't accept you.

If you think about how many headlining female comics are out there, you could say 15, maybe 20?

The truth is Mr. Trump could simply sit in the Oval Office for four years like a potted plant, and that would be a vast improvement over the Obama agenda, which was almost in every case - from tax increases to spending stimulus bills to Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, the war on fossil fuels, and so on - bad for growth.

War's stupid. Nobody wins. You might as well talk first; you have to talk last anyway.

Children are God's Apostles, sent forth, day by day, to preach of love, and hope, and peace.

Carter's hopes died when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and he ended up having to reverse policy and launch the military buildup that Reagan continued. Mr. Obama would be forced back into a war on terror if terrorist groups pull off enough damaging or frightening attacks to force this issue to the fore.
