In 1961, James Mitchell was in a short film by GM (the car company) showing their new cars. It's pretty interesting-not the usual "here's our new cars" thing.

The Politics Thread
I think she just wants this so much that she's really afraid of putting a step out of place so she overdoes the prep. I'm really curious about who she really is behind closed doors. I've heard so many conflicting stories. I remember years ago when she cried in public and some people acted like that was a terrible faux pas, so I'm sure she's holding herself on a tight leash. Hillary is more scrutinized than anyone else aside from maybe Trump and it's been going on for 25 years. Anything she does "wrong" is horrible. I can imagine she feels she can't do anything out of place for that reason. Bernie, on the other hand, until this week, has gotten almost a free pass from this sort of treatment. And of course he whined about how the "corporate media" treats him. I am so over Bernie. Between his rigidity, his disciples' actions(they trolled the daughter of the principle who lost her life at Sandy Hook this week-classy!) among other things, he needs to go away and the sooner the better.

Look for RISE. It is about the people on the flight and such.

Rubio is a good boy and will regurgitate most anything the RNC tells him. That doesn't make a president, though. He's just not ready. He may be thought of as "establishment," but his views on a lot of the core issues is close to Cruz and and some Trump. Hell, he can't even make it to his regular job! LOL As to the Democrats, I am sick of Bernie's disciples. At least online, they are a nasty bunch. I have read so many of his fans say they won't vote in November if Clinton is the nominee. They truly think we'll "get the type of government we deserve" if we don't blindly love their man like they do. His famous disciples are no better. Susan Sarandon got in Delores Huerta's face at the NV caucus and harassed Clinton supporters. https://vid.me/MOGL

Jeb is not going to get anyone excited. Even dragging out Dubya and Babs won't help.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Renée Elise Goldsberry (ex-Evangeline OLTL) had a small part in the Sisters movie.

Bless her heart-Raven is a bit empty-headed and self-absorbed. While she doesn't add too much to the show, is she obligated to be The Black Voice on the show?

It's very important to pay more attention to state and local races. State and local governments are getting more and more crazy in some areas as evidenced above by DRW50. These crazy, far right people are getting on my last nerve, and often I feel pretty hopeless about it all.

I admit I am one of these people. I never got into GH anyway, but knowing it was Fron's fave and he saved it at any cost just sticks in my mind to this day. AMC and OLTL were always the black sheep compared to GH.

Cornelius Smith Jr apparently won a talent search with ABC last year which helped him win his role on Scandal this past year. It's a digital talent competition. https://abcdiscovers.abc.go.com/ You can find a video with him and another winner on the site.

It was a nice surprise to see him on the show. He is quite talented in addition to being so easy to look at. I am actually a little surprised he has not been on more things.

Rosie always wants to be in charge. Whoopi is doing the "in charge" part now. I just don't think Rosie wanted anything but the moderator position.

Palin? Gawd, no. No show needs that know-nothing twit. However, apparently S.E. Cupp is in talks: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/11/se-cupp-view-cnn-crossfire-abc_n_5578015.html?utm_hp_ref=media She would not be too bad. I like McCain a bit better, though, because she comes off a bit warmer. Either way, Cupp or McCain would be a vast improvement over air-headed Elisabeth.

Terri Eoff-she grew up in Lubbock, Tx as did I. She is a couple of years older than me. I don't recall if we went to the same high school but I do recall seeing her in a play or two in Lubbock. I don't recall if it was high school or local theatre, though..

I agree there needs to be some overhaul. Ever since Joy and Elizabeth left(not a fan, but she was a counter view anyway) the show has gone down the tubes a bit. Supposedly there were "focus groups" who wanted a less political/current event focus. Can viewers really like this pablum version? I think there can be a middle ground somewhere. I like Whoopi fine and even like Sherri. Add a smart conservative who isn't too far right, get rid of Jenny, and add someone similar to Joy but not as caustic.

Eric Nelsen (AJ AMC) just booked an episode of Girls. Maybe he'll be nekkid!

For figure skating fans
Some comments: I have been a big skating fan since 1988. I actually first got online in 1990 and started taking skating then! First, while I also like Ashley's outspoken style, she does have technical problems which is why she gets marked lower at times. She routinely under-rotates and/or two foots the jumps in her triple-triple combo. She stayed on her feet, but she had some technical dings. Both Russian girls were over-marked in the presentation("artistic") scores. They had not gotten scores that high at most any event. They got what we skating fans call the "Skating While Russian" bump. We knew they would get somewhat higher scores at home(not terribly unusual) but it was a little much here. Here is an interesting article: http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/02/whole-new-set-questions-about-adelina-sotnikovas-allegedly-rigged-gold-medal-win/358425 I generally thought Tara and Johnny were fun, but Johnny's Russia love was a bit much to take. I don't like homerism even with the US but Johnny went overboard. He could not take off his Russia colored glass to see mistakes even.

I am seriously considering watching this show for sh&ts and giggles. It always appeared to be a fun potential watch no matter what the quality.

The View
The View has pretty much jumped the shark at this point. They used to talk about real issues, political stuff, etc, but now it's mainly pablum. I think part of the reason was because Elizabeth often would be a bit juvenile when discussing harder topics. I remember when Bill Maher was on last year and she made the entire segment about her and the fact that she was offended by some dumb joke he made about her on his show. She was not always professional. Now they choose Jenny McCarthy? Sorry, but there are SO many better choices. Her dangerous vaccine opinions alone turns me off, though. Wentworth would have been very good. I also like the Campos gal for a conservative view. Margaret Cho is campaigning for a job there, too. I would LOVE her on that show. It would bring some life back into it.
