Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I honestly just took it as a joke and I didn't the whole "being black is an insult". Her other stuff about Joyce and Jacquline and her heritage offended me more to be honest. Yolanda is an absolute joke. Again she did nothing but try to bullrush Joyce and Lisa so that they couldn't get in their opinion/take on the various issues they had with her. Love that Lisa proceeded to shred her whole argument about how Lisa didn't support or visit her for "18 months". Regarding Lisa she barely said a word during the first part. She literally looked like she wanted nothing to do with the entire fiasco. Aside from her personality comment and when Andy tried to go in on her regarding her ability to dish it out but not take I saw a rational clear headed lady who knew what game Brandi and Yolanda were trying to play. The problem is that Lisa is a pro and she's buying it anymore

About to the watch the reunion. Will def be watching Lisa very closely to see her reactions. Even as a fan of hers I don't automatically think everything she does is right. LMFAO...Lisa is already diggin in on Brandi "We don't have the same personality" Ain't that the truth Queen Lisa Yolanda and this Lyme Disease...rolling my eyes. Not saying Wikipedia is the be all end all of information but judging by a cursory view of the page on the disease it's really not that serious and can be treated and eliminated with antibiotics within weeks. She acts like she was diagnosed with breast cancer or some kinda death sentence....its really not that serious. Lisa is too nice to ever say that on television but we all know that's the bottom line. Her whole "Hollywood friend" versus "real friend" argument is beyond inane at this point. So if Lisa isn't her true friend what does that make Kyle or Kim? Lol she just railroaded Lisa and didn't allow her to speak at all regarding that stupid party of hers. What a absolute liar Yolanda is. Does Gigi even feel 1/10 of anything for Lisa? Please Black people really need to let go of the whole "Black people can't swim comment". As if most of us haven't said the ish before as a joke. Perhaps it was the mean spirited way she said it that offended people but honestly she apologized and I don't think it worth the uproar....in that one thing I'll defend Brandi to death.

Dom's storyline was kinda weird to me in its execution. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be a great success so the show completely surprised me by going in that direction. At the very least I thought Aug was going to be loaded and be a complete disaster there and ruin it for Dom by making a scene right in front of those investors. Or that Dom would get angry with someone (Doris or staff) and just ruin it himself. Then the whole thing with Lyn just seemed rushed IMO...maybe its the whole 8 episodes thing but there just hasn't been enough time for any of these folks to feel that deep about one another. Esp Dom and Lyn after he rejected him a couple of episodes ago. I understand Doris' speech was probably a kickstarter for that but I still don't know if it was believable. Agreed about Patrick and Kevin and your breakdown is pure perfection. Compared to Patrick, Kevin is a total alpha male and I can see why Patrick would succumb to his advances and not put up a fight in terms of position or anything really. He didn't even really think about the boyfriend John...

^^^^This times a million. If she had any common sense she wouldn't have been so turnt up this season and just approached Lisa calmly about Scheana if it were truly bothering her THAT much. Her attempts to justify her feelings were weak at best and absolutely laughable towards the end. About to watch the little snippets on Bravo's website and then RHOM season 2 reunion which I completely loved. I still never got around to watching this past seasons reunion which I regret.

Lol there's a petition to get Brandi off RHOBH. I highly doubt it will go anywhere and I definitely didn't sign it. However I don't know how she can ever get forgiveness from the audience or more importantly Lisa and Ken

The Politics Thread
I don't know if I'd consider Ezra Klein a "liberal". Every time I've seen him appear on MSNBC he usually plays the role of policy wonk and facts provider rather than taking either side hard on... Regarding his recent hire I don't know much about the mans writing but I don't understand why people feel the need to attack Mr. Klein because of it. Just don't read his stuff if you don't like it. I find posts like the one on HuffingtonPost saying "I Call Bullsh**t on Ezra Klein...." completely laughable. At times it does seem like gay people are in the throes of this group think where they have to bully every one into agreeing with their views regardless of whether they have merit or not. Sorry but there is the possibility that some people find gay marriage morally wrong while still want to find it in their hearts to support/love gay people. Rather than just automatically hating such people and attacking them as "homophobe!!!" right off the cuff wouldn't it be better to talk with those people in a rational conversations and try to show them the human aspect and why marriage is a legal right as well as a moral right since we're all created by the same God (at least in my opinion we are).....similarly it seems like he holds the same opinion I have regarding trans but because he used what apparently is an offensive word his thoughts on the matter were disregarded. I do think there's a BIG difference between people claiming that you choose to be gay versus someone choosing to go from man to woman or vice versa

Carole gets a pass with Aviva from me cuz she's pulled a Lisa move and decided its better to cut all ties now with her rather than get burned like Ramona/Sonja somewhere down the line. Never watched DC but I think the political nature of the city would make it seem too fake to me. Between NY, Game of Thrones, and Mad Men its going to be very hard to focus on school...lol Angela I see what you're saying but what do you expect someone to do when they're dragged into a conversation where they are forced to talk to the other individual. Especially with Brandi its not like Lisa was just going to sit quiet and not try to explain her POV. She tried to, Brandi said it was BS and refused to see reason, and so Lisa left. The same thing with Kyle...Lisa told her she was on her side and that she didn't do the magazine fiasco. Kyle wasn't sure if she bought it and really was hoping that Lisa would say "I'm Sorry". Well if that's what Kyle truly wanted to hear then she she should have said so. Instead Kyle kept silent and instead resorted to her puppy dog innocent victim eyes (even though we all know she's capable of being the mean girl...see Camille and Brandi). So I don't know how you can say Lisa cared because she stated her position/opinion regarding the various garbage that was being hurled at her.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
She didn't pull a single person aside except for Kyle I believe...again either you didn't see the same episode I saw or you're just pretending like Lisa just went up to each and every housewife and started ish with them. Its just patently false. She didn't play any act at all. She simply listened (or really pretended to listen) to the bull that they've been saying for half a season now....and then she left. RHONY That Kristen girl definitely looks like the kind of girl who you either love or hate and I'm not surprised she gets into it with some of the ladies. I'll admit I was a big fan of Sonja's when she first appeared but it quickly became obvious that she had a lot of "issues" the least of which is drinking. Hopefully she keeps it together this season but expectations are very very low for her....

That's really being polite at best....the way some people are acting you'd think Lisa and Ken walked up to Yolanda, Kim, Kyle, and Brandi and slapped each and everyone of them, then stabbed them in the back, and left them there on the floor.... I'm not sure how you can watch the same episode we all watched and then ultimately conclude that Lisa is a at fault somehow or that she went into it given two flying pigs what these ladies said. She barely engaged any of them or replied to any of their nonsense. It was all there on her face as she stared vacantly at all of them. From Yolanda asking "what's wrong with Ken" to Kim's "apology" to Brandi's drunken/high attempt at "clearing the air". It's absolutely laughable. She showed up as a member of the Commerce organization, made the necessary pleasantries, made her appearance for the good of the cameras and Beverly Hills and then simply BOUNCED..

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Daytime nailed it as usual.....I'm not sure how anyone could look at Lisa and not see how completely over these ladies she is. If not for Brandi draggin her over to that little tent she wouldn't have even engaged with her I'm sure. Same goes for Ken and Yolanda. Walking into a party and not saying hi to anyone them I think 99% of rational people would say that's constitutes not caring.... Walking out of a party without so much as saying a good bye would in more people's minds signify that she's over it.....

If they're gonna drop Kim then they can bring Camille and Adrienne back but I think Andy might still have a grudge/sore spot after Adrienne dissed him by not attending the reunion that season.... Camille can come back so long as she actually brings some heat/drama. There's nothing wrong with being the b*tch we love to hate. Hell some of us still loved her (me included) even when she was being deliciously manipulative. But if she's back and is boring then there's no point. Carlton is boring as rocks but at thois point she does have to stay if only to have someone on Lisa's side.

NO ALIMONY!!!!! WOW...Porsha got destroyed....mad at how Wendy is saying she should gotten preggars tho and had a baby with Kordell. No thanks girl. Maybe it would have given her security and money she would have ended up as just another single black mother...another stat for the right....

I'll wait to see the whole episode before I condemn Ramona but she's not usually one to lash out in that manner so I'm quite curious as to what caused it.... And yeah despite people's attempts to play her Ramona is and will always be HBIC of New York. Didn't even realize Luann wasn't on till 3/4ths of the way through and I'm so glad I don't have to hear that fake aristocratic voice.

The 9 million spent by outside groups would disagree with you but you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However I do think the ACA played a big role in nationalizing the race and motivating the Republicans in that district to vote....

HBO: Game of Thrones
I haven't really looked on Youtube for other fans assessment in that regard. Could you provide her name or a link by PM If you don't mind? I would be curious to listen to of them just to see what areas she's concerned about. I never used to understand why people would get upset about book to movie adaptations but with GoT I'm starting to see to see why it matters to people. When companies and producers or whomever go to such lengths to just tear about the basic foundation of a storyline or a world or a even a character it just boggles my mind. Esp when its such a great story to begin with which doesn't require that much tinkering. I ran across this article on the HuffingtonPost which talks about the 9 essential things that GoT tv fans need to know regarding the books vs the series and its all so true. Yet it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of just how radically different in some ways the show is and how it just ruins the full impact/true meaning of some of the scenes from the book.

And I don't get it...if Lisa is so manipulative and Ken is so evil then why are these ladies so pressed to be her friend? Why do they even care if she cares about them? And Yolanda screams at Ken to not touch her when her he simply grazed her arm to try and calm the idiot down? She's so extra and I laughed during that entire scene. You first interrupt Ken, Lisa, and Maurico talking and yet its inappropriate for Ken to come over when he sees his wife is being ganged up by all of you? Give me a freaking break. The transition to the reunion was fantastic. I'm glad its 3 parts and I hope they drag Yolanda and Brandi thru the mud although as Lisa said they're pigs so they would probably enjoy it. Brandi really needs to get over herself and this Schena thing. The dumb girl probably didn't know you Eddie was married to you! More importantly she didn't know you were pregnant. This is just so ridiculous at this point. She works for Lisa and she can't be fired for such a stupid reason. And she needs the money. So let her work and hopefully she won't be at any of the events.

The Politics Thread
Very depressed about Florida and very worried about the potential impact of the Affordable Care Act on November. I really don't expect the Dems to pick up seats in the House like I want them to but now I'm very concerned about the Senate remaining in Democratic hands. I think Harry Reid has been a little too effective at enraging the Tea Party and the Republican base and they're out to get rid of him as majority leader no matter what..... And again I'm sorry I know people will say there's nothing the President could have done to get the website working but I simply do not believe it. I mean I pinpoint all this negative news on that major failing. IF the website had worked I think there's absolutely no doubt that we would looking at 5-5.5 million enrolled (hell why not even 6 million) in the ACA rather than just 4.2 million. And that just gave the Republicans so much red meat and negative attack ads to last a lifetime. Alex Sink apparently was a bad manager at some company she worked for and gave herself a bonus even though times were bad but I still think she should be utterly embarrassed that she lost to a LOBBYIST who was parading around that Florida district with a 26 year old girlfriend if I remember correctly. If she runs again in November I hope she'll take a better look at herself and actually stay in the damn district to build more support and meet more people. The amount of votes she lost by wasn't that bad but it's still shocking to me that she did.

New York was fantastic. I have to say I love all of these ladies but Carole came off a little mean in the beginning with Heather. I totally understand why they're a little miffed with Aviva but I thought Carole a little much at the party that evening. That being said Aviva needs to start being real. She did come across a little fake with her scene with Ramona at the beginning and even her compliments just sounded so fake with EVERYONE. Ramona though needs to put her big girl panties on though and give Aviva a chance. Sonja is an absolute joke and while I like that she took the high road with Aviva I think she realized she was a total mess last season. And there's no reason for her to have interns...like none. Ken's shade at Yolanda was HILARIOUS. The cold shoulder OMG priceless. You're not owed ANYTHING Yolanda. Get a life.

New trailer is interesting but overall I have no idea what they're thinking in terms of ending in 7 seasons. The books themselves probably don't have an ending and yet they're somehow going to wrap it up. That's completely fine but I hope they clear it up and explicitly say that this is an alternate universe or something. Cuz I refuse to believe anything they show in this upcoming season in terms of storyline....

Just living to see Ken take down this rabid dog they call Yolanda. Cuz she's nothing but weak and whiny. I honestly don't know how Lisa copes with all this petulant childish whining. Seriously it's beyond retarded at this point what her and Kyle are complaining about. And Ken has every right to defend his wife's honor and integrity especially if it's absolute idiotic garbage like Yolanda has been spreading. So no it's not wrong to call someone stupid if hey OMG they are acting totally stupid! Must be the lemons or that fake voodoo cleanse she wouldn't stop b*tching about on last season

I'm starting to see though why Nene is utterly annoyed and fed up with Kenya's antics....that lady was straight up clowning and acting throughout the entire episode and she knows it. Props to her for figuring out how to get under Nene's skin but the whole "killing her with kindness" part gave the game away for me. She doesn't want to do it and she doesn't truly want to be friends with Nene but she'll do it just to keep the drama going.... Phaedra and her son are too hilarious for words but at the same time given all that's being reported on her and Apollo I can't help but feel a little sad about what's gonna happen to that family. That being said Apollo is looking sexier than ever....oh my.... Peter is such weak man and his need to be in front of the cameras is just too hilarious for words.

So funny how there seems to be two diff polar reactions to the scene at the work place. For my part Patrick seemed hesitant at first BUT he then seemed to be really turned on once the uhhh "first contact" was made....as in he was clasping on for dear life. Kevin is so sketch tho and those ears.....

Yeah the dialogue is very odd at times. The best part though was when Frank completely burned Aug bout his "art". I half expect Aug to release that sex video of Frank and the prostitute out of spite
