  1.  

    The media has given up any pretense of appearing unbiased when it comes to Hillary.  

     

    I like Hillary.  Always have.  But there something...insincere about the way she comes across when talking about the issues.  She's just SO rehearsed.  I get the feeling that everything that comes outta her mouth has been coached to the nth degree.

     

     

    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. 

  2. 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

     

  3. 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.  

     

  4. I know there are still some fans who still resent GH because of the cancellations.

    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.

  5. Cornelius Smith Jr (ex-Frankie Hubbard, AMC) was apparently on last night's episode of Scandal. I haven't watched it and given the subject matter I wasn't sure that I was going to but for the chance to see that man again, I will. Oh yes, I will!

    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.

  6. 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..

  7. "The View" needs a massive, massive overhaul. Whoopi, Sherri and Jenny all need to be replaced. ABC could even launch a new ad campaign around it -- "A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIEW," or some malarkey.

    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.

  8. 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:

    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.

  9. 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.
