That was an impressive group of people sending birthday wishes. I guess it's supposed to elevate Whoopi in our eyes ("look at the company she keeps, Viewers!"), except not so much. It was a little cringe-y, and I still think Whoopi Goldberg is an a**hole. In fact, it may have tainted the impressive group a tiny bit (to me). Forgot: Yes, the music was fantastic. Obviously, the best part of the show.

No. Just. No. Whoopi is the weakest link. Getting rid of her will change everything for the better, even with a dumb dumb like Raven still there….

I guess it's subjective, but (to me) Nathan Lane out-ranks Whoopi Goldberg in the universe of legendary performers. He is an esteemed member of the Broadway community and has been in one sold-out show after another for decades. And of course, he's a film actor and has had many continuing characters in countless episodic television series' (past and present). And, clearly, he's not asleep at the wheel and sees what a nasty bitch Whoopi is, so….no need to pander or kiss a**. He was not suffering a fool.

Her FACE. The pain of the war on christianity etched on her FACE, lmao….

That's an hour I'm never getting back. What a hot, cringey mess. Seriously.

That Huckabee segment hit the floor like a safe. I cringe that I had to agree with him that the question(s) were lame and dumb. It's rare that a guest shuts them all up simultaneously :) Whoopi is such a rude bitch. Nothing new there. And they went on and on about the Caitlyn Jenner costume being inappropriate and a mockery. I think it was Michelle towards the end who quickly said Caitlyn was fine with it. If they had done a speck of research they could have aired a clip from Caitlyn's interview with Matt Lauer (conducted on the golf course at her club). Matt asked her if the costume hurt or bothered her, and Caitlyn smiled/laughed and said she's totally on-board with it and thought it was great.

Naturally, that disturbing video has made the rounds on every newscast, talk-show etc., but I haven't heard anyone state the obvious except Michelle. The victim was silent. The whole classroom was silent. Not a gasp, scream, heckle…nothing. Even the students sitting directly behind "the attack" seemed perfectly still and didn't flinch. I'd be in full-blown panic and fear if I was a teenager in class and that scene happened right in front of me. As ugly as it is, I'm glad it was posted for the world to see. That police officer can't get away with that disgusting display.

I sincerely mean it when I say, after watching both of the F&F clips above, I have a serious headache. The right side of my head is pounding. Hasselbeck and her two weirdos are just ridiculous.

Raven's favorite literary character is the little mouse from Goodnight Moon.

I didn't write that last paragraph, but feel free to send it anywhere you'd like :) Really makes the point, doesn't it?

Bernie Sanders was great. Sometimes I still can't believe that we (the collective "we") are still talking about reproductive rights and freedom of choice. I just don't understand why anyone cares what another person does with their own body. They don't want to be told to examine the careless/crazy gun access, but want to control a strangers body. Someone recently sent this to me: "How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion — mandatory 48-hr waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he's about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, an ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let's close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun. It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?"

True. But neither Ivana, Tina, or Demi changed their names (at least publicly) when they eventually re-married, only to go backwards and change it to the first one after divorces. I don't have strong feelings about women changing their names after marriage..everybody does what feels right. I didn't change my name after marriage and never even considered it….always felt alien to have his name.

Your decision to simply keep your married name and carry on is logical. Sherri changing her name to the first husband's name is just silly. Why would she introduce herself as anything other than "Sherri Shepherd" anyway? She must be bored.

I would never be able to do such a thing either. I think it's 1000 times more likely in show business, whether it's on-location shooting a film or in-studio shooting episodic television. Those people are never without their phones and shady co-workers recording tantrums, or exploding tempers, happens a lot. Remember years ago when director David O. Russell lost his mind and started tearing Lilly Tomlin to shreds (verbally) ? He went crazy on George Clooney on set of Three Kings and it got ugly. He has a reputation for being abusive, so crew members started recording him.

Not entirely true, you now have quadruple confirmation that Whoopi Goldberg HATES eggs so much that she makes faces and pushes plates that contain eggs away in disgust.

The hero newlyweds actually looked disappointed with their gift of an all-expense paid vacation. After the uncomfortable non-reaction, Candace started speaking to them in soft baby-talk (as you would to a 4 yr. old) "what do you think?" "you can choose any location you want!" "isn't that great!" Crickets. LOL

If Rosie did indeed have a relentlessly violent, controlling, bullying pattern of behaviour, make no mistake, someone would have recorded it. It would almost be expected for someone to whip out their iPhone and hit record. Voila, instant evidence and bargaining chip…... Again, the article screams of self-serving lawyer BS. That's what they do when there is nothing solid.

The article is clearly generated by the producer and/or her lawyer. All photographs were clearly provided by them to show producer in a completely positive light…happy with her children, close to everyone at The View, assorted superstar actors/directors etc. Not completely defending Rosie, but this article is a legal maneuver.

Good one :) So, what the hell was the point of skulking across the back of the stage and walking to the demo table? These people just have no idea how to produce a good segment….all the distraction pisses me off. Just sit there off to the side and let the guest present whatever it is they're presenting. All the nattering and multiple conversations is crazy-making. Someone needs to advise Ree Drummond that the whole pumpkin spice craze is intended for food and beverage flavouring, not for application to hair. Wow.

If she had time to scoop it out, why didn't the moron just change/clean the baby before going in? Who the hell would walk into the oval office to meet the sitting President with the smell of a loaded diaper to greet him? She should have apologetically asked an aid to hold him as it was not suitable to bring him in there. Idiot.

I watched the clip that generated that comment from Trump. Hasselbeck looked SO teeth-gritting hostile toward Trump, it was hysterical. She was crazy with muted rage that Trump was bashing GWB about 911 and (rightfully) pointing out to the Three Stooges that their beloved Republicans completely destabilized the Middle East. Of course Fox LOVES war/military (whether used correctly or not) and the thought that "their team" basically f**cked up a portion of the world was just too much for them to handle. She kept trying to have Trump retract his comments like her life depended on it.

If we all started drinking at Raven's tedious repetition, we will end up a group of sloppy alcoholics :)

Martin O'Malley, poor guy is trying to be serious about a presidential run and they just ignore it and sort of mock him by repeatedly asking him if he's ass-kissing for a VP spot on anyone's ticket. Not that I'm a fan or supporter, but sometimes the audacity of these dumb dumbs is amazing. Re: Candace. I'm still stunned that her answer to gun violence is to make sure her children know that if they are blown away while at school or the mall or cinema, they will be fine and be with God. WTF??? Does that really provide peace and erase fear with these people?

Got it. Thank you!

Um, what did I miss?
