The View @ MindSay

I just saw the video of Ron Paul's appearance on The View. That was a waste of time for everyone involved.

 

I am not even going to bother posting the video.

 

They spent over half of the interview discussing abortion! What?! Just ridiculous!

 

Ron Paul will be appearing on The View on Dec. 4th.

 

His fundraising numbers have hit an incredible high of over 10 million dollars for this quarter.

Sunday, Environgirl and I went to the Texas Renaissance Festival with some friends who flew in from Chandler, Arizona. I promise, I'll put pics up soon. I've just been too lazy to get them all organized in my Photobucket folders. Anyway, we were discussing the women of the View and their roles:

 

ME:     I think Whoopi is doing a pretty good job so far. She's strong in her opinions but she doesn't beat the  co-hosts down when they don't agree with her.

 

NANCY:   I like her, too. I can't believe they even thought Rosie would fit in. She's so damn angry

 

EGIRL:      Rosie wasn't always angry. When she had her show back in the day, she was actually fun to watch.

 

ME:           This is true.  I also like Sherry even though I don't agree with her all the time.  Finally, The other one, the blonde one  whose name I can't remember right now, has someone who might share her views. It was always so one sided-before.

 

EGIRL:     Yeah, I don't really like Elizabeth, but I have to give her credit, she stands up for what she believes in no matter how unpopular it is.  I guess you're right about Sherry even though she's an idiot, she does add balance.

 

ME:           I'm surprised that there are now three comedians on the show.

 

RYAN:      Yeah, but comedians are basically social commentators who you'd actually like to listen to.

Okay, so Joy is the older, I-don't-give-a-damn person.  Whoopi does all the lead ins, Sherry and Elizabeth are the conservatives, so uh...  what is Barbara Walter's role?

 

EGIRL:       To be Skeletor!

 

 

LMAO!

 

Sorry, about the multiple postings of this entry. I HATE when that happens!

I have a good feeling that on her last day at The View, Rosie O'Donnell is going to strangle Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Punches may be thrown.

April fools!!!

 

I know that was lame but everyone else is doing an April fools joke. Anyway, here's the story. I was watching a tv show this morning on CNN called Reliable Sources. You probably aren't familiar with this program. It's just a bunch of media clowns sitting around and discussing the different issues of the week.

 

About halfway through the program, they began to discuss Rosie O'Donnell's recent questioning of the official 9/11 story. She also made a statement about US media propaganda. To paraphrase, she said that you should get your news from outside the US to get a sense of what is really going on in this country. She said the major networks including her own(ABC) were engaged in propaganda.

 

The host of Reliable Sources was apparently offended by that statement. He claimed that the media is not engaged in propaganda. His proof? He said the mainstream media was involved in breaking huge stories like the warrantless wiretapping and the CIA secret prison sites. See, if the media was feeding us crap then they wouldn't have given us these stories.

 

Okay, good point. So when they come back from commercial I was expecting some hard hitting investigative reporting. Something about unanswered questions from 9/11 or perhaps a story on the North American Union. Nope. What do we get? A full segment about American Idol. Thanks a lot!

 

Move along, nothing to see here. Wait a minute, what about Operation Mockingbird? Read this story about how the CIA put media members in their pockets.
