As we all know, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb gave up drinking for a month — on their show. (They could still drink all they wanted off the show, making the whole thing a little bit redundant, but we digress.) But on Wednesday, their 30-day
dry spell ended, and they celebrated by ... drinking! They drank from very large glasses of wine, to be precise, leading to the following exchange:

Huffington Post: Sarah Palin's Climate Change Sub-Cabinet Goes Dormant Under Alaska Governor Sean Parnell

Posted: 06 Feb 2013 10:46 AM PST

WASHINGTON -- Before she stepped onto the national stage, Sarah Palin was worried about the warming planet and what climate change was doing to her home state of Alaska. So in 2007, as governor, she established a Climate Change Sub-Cabinet to come up with ideas on "how Alaskans can save energy and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions."

But that project has gone dormant under the current governor, Republican Sean Parnell. According to newly released public records obtained by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the sub-cabinet has not met in three years. Parnell took office in July 2009.

Palin's 2007 administrative order directed her climate change team to convene an "Immediate Action Work Group" composed of federal, state and local officials to come up with ways to protect Alaska's most at-risk communities. She also set up a website -- which is still currently live -- presenting her administration's work on climate change. In March 2009, the work group presented its findings in a report to the sub-cabinet.

Huffington Post: Lisa Belkin Talks Gun Safety On HLN's 'Raising America'

Posted: 06 Feb 2013 10:48 AM PST

HuffPost Senior Columnist Lisa Belkin appeared on HLN's new parenting-focused show, "Raising America With Kyra Phillips," on Tuesday to discuss guns in the home and safety.

Belkin said that while she was not going to argue against people owning a gun to protect themselves, there were two important conversations in play.

"It's one thing to say, 'I want to own something that I know how to use that is designed solely to protect me, that can't take out a classroom or a platoon.' Then there's the argument of, OK, if you are going to own that one simple thing, are you absolutely guaranteeing that it will keep you safe, rather than put you in more danger? That's a personal decision."
