Dennis Miller has his debut as a talk radio host tonight. Click here to find your local radio outlet. Tonight's guest list inlcudes Rudy Giuliani.

I head Dennis being interviewed on local talk radio here in Dallas this morning. When asked about his turn towards conservatism after 9/11, he clarified that "if Hillary Clinton were to become president, I'm backing her because she's my president." That to him, is what being a good American is. I agree.

Jewish Theological Seminary to Accept Qualified Gay and Lesbian Rabbinical And Cantorial School Students

"Moreover, the decision to ordain gay and lesbian clergy at JTS is in keeping with the longstanding commitment of the Jewish tradition to pluralism. That commitment has been all the more central to Conservative Judaism. Pluralism means that we recognize more than one way to be a good Conservative Jew, more than one way of walking authentically in the path of our tradition and of carrying that tradition forward. It means, too, that we respect those who disagree with us and understand that in the context of all that unites us, diversity makes us stronger."

I've heard of the Mitvah Tank, but the "Matzoh Bus" is new to me.

(CBS/AP) SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. A full-size school bus that had been converted into an oven, complete with smokestack, exhaust fans and working fire, was discovered by police after a neighbor said he smelled smoke.

The red and white bus, in the backyard of a residence owned by the rabbi of a Hasidic Jewish congregation, was turning out thin crisp matzo crackers for next week's Passover holiday, said Sgt. Lou Scorziello of the Spring Valley police.
