Could it be the goat?

Thank you Haleth; that was exactly my thought. It was my big issue when they discussed Kyle Rittenhouse when he was under oath and said "I did nothing wrong". Whether you believe you are at fault or not, I can't believe you don't feel guilt. I personally know a young lady (was 16 at the time) who was driving during an ice storm; slid on an icy patch over a bridge, car spun around, crashed, and one of her young friends was killed. To this day, some 17 years later, she feels guilt. I find it difficult to believe that if a life is lost, whether intentional or not, one does not feel guilt. I think of all of the people who speak of survivors' guilt. To simply say, no I feel no guilt, especially as quickly as Alec Baldwin said that, I just find that hard to believe. I feel like he was speaking as instructed by his lawyers, not from the heart. Sometimes it's simply better to just say nothing, not do any interviews, rather than speak in legalize which, frankly, just makes me feel somehow jaded and disheartened by his comments.

I enjoyed watching Meredith today as well. She just always seems like a calm and lovely presence. I'm with Joy - the first thing I thought when I saw Ben was wow, he's a man! I remember one of Meredith's sons, not sure if it was Ben or Gabe, who came on The View way back when and gave a movie review. I can't remember if it was a regular thing, or just happened a time or two, but he couldn't have been more than maybe 12-13? Also, did someone have a cat meowing in the background? I was multitasking when I first heard it and was looking around my own house thinking a neighbor cat was at the door.

Madison looks like Beetlejuice.

Oh my goodness. She finally looks 20-something (what is she, 26-27?) instead of 40-something. But maybe it's the carefree smile that exudes even from her eyes, and light-hearted happiness with her little guy.

I'm more interested in knowing how you managed to survive a dry January while enduring Meghan?! I both bow and tip my hat to you!

I hate to comment on anyone's looks, 'cuz people in glass houses and all, but, I will make an exception... Meh, I think his head looks way too big for his body - almost like it was photo shopped on that suit. Also, I keep trying to find a picture of an American flag or a copy of the Constitution or Bill of Rights in their house, but nadda. Abe Lincoln sandwiched between the dead shark and the discarded Zappos box is odd to me though.

Good grief. How extremely rude and dismissive. Just a couple of thoughts regarding yesterday's show... I thought Meghan was quite the Debbie Downer with regards to the Thanksgiving conversation, not because she shared her difficult holiday, but because it seemed that she shamed others for having an enjoyable one when she and others are suffering through grief. At least that's how I took it. I don't judge her for her difficulty in processing her grief, and I won't make comparisons of her loss to others. Regardless of her privileged life, and all that she has to be thankful for, she is clearly grieving and is entitled to do so. I just don't want to hear about it every damn day. She and I are not friends. And I don't tune in to The View for some substitute grief support group session. The only other thing that I have to add is that I really do appreciate how excited and smiley Sunny and Abby are when they walk out on the set. They seem genuinely excited and happy to be there. A cranky puss face gives a bad omen of things to come.

I still enjoy this show. For some reason, it just doesn't grate on me like the Housewives shows. I am still trying to figure out exactly why Simone and Contessa are arguing. Maybe I'm not really paying attention properly and missed a real spat between the two, but I only really seem to see a rift/dysfunction between Toya and Contessa. Is it just me, or is Simone interjecting herself into someone else's issue? I'm not too proud to admit that perhaps I have missed something. Did Simone and Contessa have a disagreement or argument that I am not remembering? Or is Simone just upset that she feels Contessa is being a big wuss, not healing fast enough, and engaging enough with the group? I saw the previews, and I'm scared to see how Heavenly handles the Couples' Therapy Session, Part Deux. I like when they are doctors, and do doctor-stuff, providing medical care in foreign countries. It warms me cockles.

What?! So no! I am sad as that was one gorgeous home! Happy to hear that her family made it out safely though. In perspective, all things can be replaced. Lives not. So much tragedy and heartache in that area for far too many.

Mmm, mm that sounds so good! I'm having beef stroganoff with a garden salad.

LOL - I did a double-take on that humongous pin as well, but seriously thought it was an ant ready for a picnic. I am enjoying this show. I loved seeing Murphy with John Laroquette's character as I also enjoyed them on Boston Legal. It might be fun to see William Shatner or James Spader make an appearance as well.

My ears are still bleeding. I tried rewinding a few times so I could actually understand what was being said, but with all of the interrupting, it was difficult to decipher. I don't think even close-captioning would have helped today. Just once, I would really appreciate if Meghan could listen to understand, as Alan Alda so eloquently discussed when he was on, rather than only listening long enough to screech out her rebuttal. Actually, it's not really even a rebuttal because that would require some thought. She just seems to want to throw out her talking points as loudly as possible as if the loudest argument wins. A discussion would be nice; they don't all have to agree. In fact, I appreciate that they don't, but a respectful back and forth sure would be a welcome change. I will go hide in a corner, because I know that it was not germane to the conversation, but I am still trying to figure out what point Abby was trying to make when she said the whole country should be ashamed. Ashamed of what exactly? Journalists asking questions? Knowing journalists by name? I just don't understand.

I'm fairly certain that was Erika Jayne's exact tagline on the Real Housewives. Or is that why she has it in quotation marks?

Yes, Bannana, that reminded me of last week when she boasted that she has a framed copy of the Constitution planted on her living room wall. So now she's telling us that not only does she have American flags hanging in every room of her house, but also a copy of the Constitution hanging on her wall? Also, she mentioned something about how moved she was when Ben cried after reciting the Gettysburg Address or discussed the Battle of Lexington at Easter Dinner, (sorry, I can't remember which as I tend to tune Megs out when she's on one of her diatribes) yes, Easter Dinner!. 1.) Who in the fuckity fuck has a framed copy of the Constitution as artwork in their home? I mean really, I have seen Americana decor in homes before, but never that! Do you really need Lady Liberty to puke all over your house to be considered a true patriot?? And, 2.) Who the hell recites the Gettysburg Address or discusses the Battle of Lexington during Easter Dinner?! Good God, these people are so beyond over-the-top, I just can't believe a damn word that comes out of her mouth.
