She may not be your mother, but you should do something nice and chipin to send some flowers to Helen Thomas.

For more information about this illustrious figure of American journalism, here is the standard wikibio, a series of opinion pieces, her website, and a look at how popular she became after the infamous exchange between her and President Bush in 2006. Mail her if this email address still works, helent@hearstdc.com. But I'm sure a hand-written letter would be much more appreciated, c/o Hearst News Service 1850 K Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20006.
