It's not really a statement about them but about the parents who according to Trump come here two minutes prior to delivery and then say "My Son, The American". I don't see how this qualifies as a slur, or even why using the term is controversial. Is anyone denying this goes on?

Marco Rubio's position on abortion is just he first sign how extreme he is and not in step with the people. He won't win and if he were the nominee the center would flock to his opponent. The media loves him for some reason but as yet it is unclear that anyone else does.

She was a regular on Morning Joe for the longest time. That is a pretty big show for political types and gets a lot of big time guests--often bigger than The View. She should just go back there and not waste her time on shows that worry about cooking segments and Kardashians.

Disclosure: I didn't watch the debate and I won't. We're still a year and some change out from the election. He has months to continue making an ass of himself. The bottom line is that he will drop out because if he wants to be president he will have to give up most of his business interests. We won't be able to negotiate with countries where he owns or wants to own real estate so he'll have to ditch most of his financial interests by, at the very least, putting them in the names of his wife du jour or kids. The closer he gets to the White House, the more of his life is going to become an open book. If Mitt Romney couldn't bear to show his financials, Trump certainly won't. And don't even get me started on his health records. How much viagra based heart damage do you thing he has? But the money is the real issue. He's not going to stop being a mogul, just so he can become president. He is such an egomaniac that he probably is salivating at the chance to be one on one with Hillary. Hillary is A List and that is just the company Trump wants to be in. Ideally he pulls a Ross Perot and we get a threeway with Bush. As for the debate, it was a bit of a farce. From the very first question it was the Trump show and every question was designed to show him in a bad light. Not that there weren't questions designed to show everyone in a bad light, but Trump knows nobody is paying attention to any of them and 24 million people tuned in to watch him and only him. The pundits always go on TV and declare him dead and they are wrong every time. He has a cult of personalty and his followers just don't care. He also has unfair advantage of 35 years in the spotlight and 10 years maybe on TV. He will overshadow the rest of them every time because he knows what works on TV and they don't. The whole brouhaha with Megyn Kelly was interesting because everyone declared he imploded and yet he won the battle with FOX.

I think everyone may have gotten it wrong and Trump is no joke who is going to self destruct. He has said things again and again that would have ruined anybody else and he is still here. I also think he was right about the debate and their fake questions and he made everyone else look like phony politicians--especially Rand Paul.

This one sounds like it might not be true. Adults attracted to and molesting children don't just do it once out of every fifty assaults. A 13 year old does not fit his pattern.

I agree, Rosie thrived wth Hasselbeck as a foil, and the same in the reverse. The two, I have no idea how they actually feel about each other, were a good team for TV. I am no expert on The View but I am assuming the problem with Wallace was she was too calm, too busy to care about pop culture frivolities and not stupid enough to make outlandish comments on subjects she doesn't actually know about. They will bring in someone who will bicker and fight as they basically go for a WWE for housewives. To be an accomplished professional that isn't an actress is not something the View needs or wants. Am I correct in saying that most of their hosts now are washed up actresses who have no special knowledge or reason to be speaking about topics except they are C List celebrities? I doubt Lisa Ling would fit in on the show as it is, or even Meredith Viera.

John Oliver left out he defense of Michael Vick. Whoopi Goldberg is exhibit A that being famous is not qualification enough to host a talk show. She has as much credibility on any given topic as Sarah Palin, maybe less. The View, if it had any respect for its audience, would get rid of this woman since she is perpetually wrong on just about every topic. They should feel a responsibility to their audience even a little, but then again the sheep that is her audience deserves no respect. When she was yammering on about innocent til proven guilty and this being America, those ditzy women in the audience applauded her. Why? Why did they applaud her idiocy? And here they are now applauding her changing her mind. So in effect, the View's audience are basically trained seals who will clap on command for even the dumbest host. So much for she bring the only one in the room making sense. She stopped making sense I guess according to some circles.

My theory on the Cosby wife is she was comfortable in her life, and looked the other way all the years when it came to cheating. Now she is old, there are no more marriages and for good or bad that is who she is with and she loves him, so she is justifying and rationalizing. It isn't money I don't think because she would probably get any divorce settlement she wanted, and at her age how much does she really need?

Someone made attacks on Louis Armstrong? Since day one you have tried to inject a racial component to this case where there isn't any. Race has literally nothing to do with this case, any more than it had to do with Michael Jackson.

She makes no sense. In fact, she is the only one in the room who makes no sense. Her complete lack of sense is so overwhelming that you obviously don't believe this post you made here. In fact, in previous posts you came to the conclusion he was probably guilty and now you read about this testimony proving your hunch right and you say the one person desperate to defend him with all the certainty and loyalty of Baghdad Bob is the one making sense? Other than posting just to get a reaction from people, what thought process could possibly bring you to that conclusion. Whoopi Goldberg sounds like an idiot. The audience that applauded her defiant stand against logic are imbeciles. I also don't understand the posts here about how finally now people lost all respect for her. I don't know how anyone had any respect for her. This is the woman who defended Michal Vick--the Adolph Hitler for dogs--and said killing and torturing animals is a black cultural thing. Mel Gibson was another of her causes, and yet now finally people are losing respect for her? Where were you guys when she didn't mind dog slaughtering? She is a professional devil's advocate who thinks by saying this nonsense she sounds reasonable and mature, but she just sounds like a [!@#$%^&*] idiot. I honestly don't know why this person is on a talk show when she is so stupid she shouldn't even be allowed to talk on TV. Her words damage impressionable minds.

I am going to guess he or was very ill. The shape of his face and body changed, and there are people older than he is who maintain a resemblance to themself. If you said chemo wrecked his body I'd believe it. The reunion is on their site, and his voice isn't strong either. None of them are looking too good. Robert Guillame is 87 according to wikipedia and he is in decent shape, older than Mandan. Katherine Helmond I guess it is refreshing she didn't stay glammed up in retirement. It's so long ago but Guillame was a major major TV star 40 years ago. After Benson he didn't seem to click in anything else. None of them did except for Billy Crystal, and then a few went on to sitcom success. The woman who played Mary Campbell I don't know that I ever saw her again, same for Eunice, Corinne, and the Tate son. Dutch went on to a long time recurring role on Battlestar Galactica in the 2000s.

I doubt that. Trump doesn't need lucrative speaking fees or fattened coffers. He says $9 Billion, others say $4 Billion. He is running I think for the same reason he puts his name on everything: ego.

I feel really sad about Nadal. I love him because just when it became boring and predictable with Federer beating everyone he came along and made Tennis thrilling and created real drama and rivalry. Tennis five or six years ago was top notch, especially their Wimbledon match, and now with him out and Roger old, Murray a choker...it looks like it is back to a boring sport with not many suspects able to challenge Djokovic.

Walker's calls for constitutional amendments is harmless singing to the choir. He must know that changing the constitution is almost impossible so therefore he might as well demand it all he can. I feel sorry for these republican candidates because time is passing them by and they don't know what to do about. Apparently polls show 60% approval for gay marriage by the american public, but that isn't who will vote in their primaries. Then there is a distinct change in views among people under 40 and over 40, but the over 40s tend to die at a faster rate than the under 40s. There primaries are held hostage by fundie zealots that are completely out of step with everyone else, and now you have Jeb Bush forced to say he doesn't think Jim Baker knows what he is talking about with foreign policy because as conservative as Baker is, he still isn't conservative enough for the republicans of 2015. Reagan would probably have been called a liberal and weak for willing to deal with democrats. All along I have thought Chris Christie could not win because he is obese and belligerent. Nothing has changed in that regard. The only shot the republicans have is Jeb Bush, but I don't see how he can win as long as he is unwilling to say W was a disaster. He is unable to reject the Iraq war and people are not going to be so quick to want another Bush starting another war because he was listening to neo-cons. Plus, he has some positions not in line with republican zealotry. While the country is resistant to older women, I don't think it will pass up the opportunity to follow up a black president and gay marriage with a woman president. The conservatives are losing the culture wars badly, and all the shouting white men in the world won't change that. They're so out of the mainstream that even the pope is too liberal for them. Of course he doesn't know who any of them are and doesn't care, but they have boxed themselves into a corner where now they tell themselves that it is they--not the pope--who is defending religion and morality.

I doubt it. This show has had people on since the very beginning deserving of emmys and because it is a fantasy show they get passed up. Charles Dance should have won one long ago for Tywin, and the kid who played Joffrey should have won four in a row. Every critic and every article for years and practically worldwide it seems was in lockstep agreement that Joffrey was the best and most hated villain on all of TV. How is it possible the actor was good enough to inspire worldwide love to hate status, but not good enough to be nominated? Meanwhile actors on shows nobody ever heard of or saw get nominated.

I can't believe the show did it again! I was just staring watching and not believing what I was seeing. He was supposed to be the eventual star of the whole story who along with Dany saves everyone. It pisses me off they keep on killing the good guys off leaving us with wars between Child burners and skin flayers as the people we are supposed to choose between. Stories need heroes, and they just killed theirs---again. It sucks. I don't know who it is time to root for, I guess Jaime, the hero who pushes children out windows. He got some bit of redemption with Brienne so maybe we can watch him get even with the Dornish who killed his daughter. In other news, it will be fun watching Cersei get even with everybody in that whole town. She's evil but they're fanatic nuts and have it coming, Her Franken-mountain I assume will have a whole list of people to settle with. Sansa and Theon: the show is unclear, it looked like a suicide pact but I am gonna say growing up there they know where to jump to land in a pile of snow. Arya's killing Ser Meryn was great but now she's blind? Her friend isn't a friend worth having. I am not sure who Dany was surrounded by but seeing how she ditched her ring, I am guess it isn't her old Khal Drogo crew.

I don't see anything noble about him. Didn't he chop off his friend's fingers for some grouchy reason? The guy was always the least dynamic, stick in the mud character on the show who needed to be written out. Now he is the guy who burned his own daughter alive.

Yes, I wonder where he will sleep. I think the daughter did see the mother trying to help her which is why she switched from calling for her father to calling for her mother. Stannis is just a waste of a human being. He isn't sadistically evil like that Bolton psycho but he is just so cold and perpetually miserable. If he has to kill his own family to get the throne, why does he even want it? The other brother was a much nicer guy, it's a shame he got killed. I don't even know how he wound up in the same family as Stannis and Robert (who was also not going to win any personality contests) I can't believe next week is the last episode! This year got off to a slow start but the last few weeks have been one winner after another. Which reminds me, whatever happened to Varys??? He was in the first episode or two and was completely forgotten about. Which double reminds me that in season one Jon Snow joined the Knights Watch to find his uncle...did he ever find him? And is Renly STILL rowing? And where is Rickon and Hodor?

The end was really cool with the dragon, but I really thought the dragon was gonna get killed. Perhaps it is time Danearys takes her show on the road because this town seems to want nothing to do with her. Stannis wss always a creep with no personality but he crossed a line tonight I don't see how he can cross back. His wife is a total imbecile but so is he for even going along with this. He has to wind up getting killed because no way does a guy like this go on to win at the end, Now sure what to make of the whole Dorne episode. Nothing really happened of note, so why did we spend all that time there? The three daughters got hyped as being something important but they all turned out to be nothing. Frustrating we did not get to see what is happening with the Kings Landing crew but I guess that is for next week.

So the story doesn't verify---did she flush or not and if not, why not?

It's more than weird, it is downright wrong. That contest was supposedly for upcoming actors, not old friends of the network.

Forbes March http://www.dv8mag.com/culture/gentleman-farmer/ About a year into his new life, March got into the firewood business, splitting, kiln-drying and packaging hardwood for a discerning urban clientele. (He earned his upstate street cred by accidentally chopping off a finger.) “The Catskills are situated 90 miles from what is arguably the largest consumer market in the world,” he says, “and in Manhattan you can sell anything if it’s the best.” His gorgeous wares can be found in the hearths of Roosevelts and Williamsburg hipsters, and he also counts 70 city restaurants as year-round clients.

I guess they could send him in as a living nuke against the white walkers, but seeing how Jon's sword is the newest only thing that can stop them you can sort of see how this might end where it will be the dragons of all things that save humanity when it is time to start forging new swords pronto. If that doesn't work I imagine the dragons will figure into the climactic battle in another way. There has to be a reason why these dragons were placed in the story to just perpetually reside in the background. Somehow when it all comes to a head and Dany and Jon are the ones fighting to save the world, her dragons will be the secret weapon somehow. If not, then I can't really see why Martin bothered to include them. As for Ser Jorah, I guess he will eventually get a heroic death set to dramatic music, and Dany will learn a lesson in something bravely fighting back tears. Other than that, I can't see why this guy is still on the show.
