Politics, faith, Barbershop - that's essentially the rundown for Fridays. Karl Rove in the house! That would be the former deputy Chief of Staff for President George W. Bush ... the "architect" of the President's election victories in the President's own words. He's making his second visit to TMM. I know some of you dig him and I know some of you don't. But he had a very interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about the Presidential race and we thought you should hear what he had to say.

As for the conversion issue in Israel ... We have covered the question of conversion before from a personal perspective - this is a religiously fluid country after all - but in some countries the personal, the religious IS political. As Israel marks this important milestone - the 60th anniversary of its independence and founding as a sanctuary for the Jewish people - it is fascinating that there is still this ongoing struggle over who belongs and who does not. It is a very complicated question. We plan to have more about the Independence of Israel next week. It is a far more ethnically diverse country that is obvious to some and we will bring you some stories about that.

PLUS ... the diva of divas ... the chief story teller of them all. The one, the only Barbara Walters. You have already heard the deep dish about her relationship with former Sen. Edward Brooke on shows like Oprah and an ABC news special. We'll only talk a tiny bit about that BECAUSE we have actually have bigger fish to fry ... such as how Barbara views diversity in the media and what she's tried to do about it. We hope you'll tune in.

And to all the MOMS out there - Happy Mother's Day! And to all the people who help the Moms do what they do (in addition to the Dads, because you know, that's a whole different thing), the girlfriends, the gal pals, single and otherwise, who help keep the Moms UPRIGHT, who come over to keep you company, take you shopping, take a walk with the kids, give you a break ... the babysitters, the grandmas ... you know who you are (Athelia, Gwen, Wendy, Sandra, "Sis," Sabrina, Enj, Miss Ros, Trevvie, Coreen, Jonna. Yes it takes a village). Love you!!!
