Michael Smerconish: 'Smerconishing' the White House
Three things to keep in mind should I ever be invited back to a White House holiday party: Uttering "Salahi" in line is like saying "bomb" on an airplane; know how to address the first lady before you're in the room with her; and don't blink - you won't get a second picture for a Christmas photo with the commander in chief.

Michael Smerconish: Who's Philly's 'Person of the Year'?
"FOR better or for worse, this individual has done the most to influence the events of the year." So reads the preamble to Time magazine's annual Person of the Year distinction, conferred yesterday on Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman. Read more >>

IF TAREQ and Michaele Salahi show up today to testify before the House Committee on Homeland Security, they could end the mystery of Through-the-Gate by answering just one question. Read more >>
Michael Smerconish: Wherever we look, we're slaves to technology
FORGET the tryptophan, I've got technology on the brain. What's missing? A few weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission sent out a mailer announcing that something called E-Z-Pass Plus would be available to E-ZPass customers (like me) beginning on Nov. 1. Read more >>

Head Strong: A law to mandate college football playoffs?
"We can walk and chew gum at the same time," U.S. Rep. Gene Green (D., Texas) assured me during a phone conversation last week. Others might disagree - especially when they hear what question prompted his remark: Read more >>
Head Strong: Cheney's abuse of freedom of speech
I used to hold Dick Cheney in high regard. I met him 25 years ago when I was part of the Washington Semester program at American University in Washington. Class often consisted of meeting with members of Congress and government representatives - usually informally in their offices. Read more >>
Head Strong: Another layer of confusion regarding climate change
Am I the only knucklehead or does the emperor of climate change have no clothes? Despite a reasonable effort, I don't have it figured out. And I am dubious as to how so many other nonprofessionals can claim comprehension of the debate about global warming, especially in the aftermath of "Climategate," the hacking of thousands of e-mails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at Britain's University of East Anglia.

On April 27th Michael Smerconish’s fourth book, Morning Drive: Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Talking, will be released by Globe Pequot/The Lyons Press. It's quite unlike anything Michael has published previously. This manuscript is actually two books in one: A political manifesto in which he offers viewpoints on every issue from same sex relationships to the hunt for bin Laden, as well as a behind the scenes look at the world of talk radio and television punditry.

Regular listeners of The Michael Smerconish Morning Show know that he fashions himself as a raconteur. Morning Drive gives Michael the opportunity to share lots of stories about his unique personal experiences. Michael reflects on meeting Ronald Reagan during his senior year in high school, stumbling into a Brussels whorehouse while working for Vice President George H.W. Bush, maturing from Frank Rizzo’s pen-pal to his political director, recounting how he almost lost his life when paying poll workers on behalf of Arlen Specter on the night of the senator's 1986 re-election, getting started in talk radio at WWDB, moving to morning drive in Philly after Imus got fired (and later trying out for Imus' job at MSNBC when the I-Man was fired yet again). Michael talks about what happened the night he sat in Bill Maher's “wing-nut” chair on HBO, why Barbara Walters told him he should have changed his name during a visit to The View, and what it was like to be master of ceremonies for George W. Bush in front of 20,000 people at one of his final campaign rallies in 2004, and a witness to Barack Obama's historic speech about race at the National Constitution Center in 2008.

Michael is scheduled to launch the book on the day of its release (April 27) on the Today Show. Later that week, he will present some of the stories encompassed in Morning Drive in front of a live audience at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, New Jersey. This will be a one-man show on Friday, May 1st beginning at 7:30 p.m. His hunch is that this will either be a fantastic performance or a train wreck. Either way, you'll want to be there, and you can't beat the deal. For $30, you’ll receive a signed, hardback copy of the book (a $25 value) and admission to the show.
