The View

Did anyone watch the view Monday morning, well I did and I am usually not a fan of the view but happen to have the television on that station. I heard Barbara Walters whom I always looked to as a very smart women every since she was on 20/20 and one of what I consider the first women into journalism. She carried on about how they say women can not be in politics and raise a family too and she began naming off these women that were or are in politics and either do not have a husband or children or if they had a husband they eventually divorced. Well I was shock to hear out of Barbara's mouth how Sarah Palin, let me say this again Sarah Palin manage to do it with no problem at all. Now correct me if I am wrong did not Sarah Palin who is in politics have a teenage daughter that had a baby. She may have had a family but some where in between her political life she forgot to take care of or look after her children.As a woman I have to admit if you go into politics it would be very hard to raise a family and try to run behind a career in politics. When you are in politics most of your time will be away from home so the children or the husband will be getting neglected at some point. I work a 12hr shift and I feel guilty when I do get home and do not have enough time to spend with my family or understanding what is going on in my children schools or the friends they have. I remember someone even talking about Sarah possibly letting her daughters boyfriend stay at the house at one point. This is very much possible because I know of some people who has let their daughters boyfriend move in thinking that they can keep a closer eye when they are in the same house. I really want to know what was Barbara thinking when she said this and I started to began thinking that the women I have admired for so many years is herself getting older and may be getting senile. I still like Barbara but lately a lot of her views are old fashion and like they say out with the old and in with the new, maybe we should get some younger host on the view with a variety of opinions and not ones like, whats her name from a reality show who grew up with a perfect world syndrome.Survivor.

Shocking Celebrities Death

Has anyone watch the show the most shocking celebrities death. I was really confused and could use some help on this. When they say shocking I am looking for shocking. Now Sharon Tate who was murdered unexpectedly was shocking, Anna Nicole boozing it up and popping pills is not shocking. John F. Kennedy being shot in the head is shocking but Elvis who gained about 50lbs and doing coke along with some other drugs is not shocking. John Jr. dying in a plane crash is shocking but John Belushi overdosing is not. Does anyone understand what I am saying, any celebrities death can be shocking to us but we all know that some are more shocking than others. We as people in the world know that if we mistreat our bodies and do things like drugs and even starve ourselves may look forward to short life span. Why is it shocking when a celebrity die from an overdose when we know they are doing drugs. We do not expect much of regular human beings who do drugs and do not try and change their lives, we make the statement either you clean up or you will have a quick death. We all try to explain to our children what drugs can do to them but is never really expressed on the news of how when you abuse prescription drugs, or take them with drinking and other pills how this can be a toxic combination. Why do not celebrities get on television explain to children why this is just not cool or a celebrity who may have a problem and can not stop suggest in their wills that they use their status to explain to the world what deadly substance abuse can do to a person like them. When we say the most shocking celebrities death we should use really shocking deaths and not deaths of celebrities who we think because they are celebrities can abuse alcohol and drugs and not die. Celebrities our humans and when they abuse their bodies they too can end up as others who walked this earth at one time and was not considered a celebrity but had family memebers that miss them just as much.

Palin, Palin, Palin, (Give me a break)

I am sick of seeing these so could celebrities on dancing with the stars and now Sarah Palin's daughter is on it. What part of a celebrity is she and when if anytime was her mom a celebrity. I guess I have to agree with my daughter that her mom has been in the spotlight so it is only normal that her daughter takes a shine, but my problem is at her age she should be able to move better than she does at the age of twenty. The young girl can not dance and moves as if she was frozen for some years and is trying to thaw out. This is the fifth week she has been on Dancing with the stars and she should be unthawed already but all I see is a twenty year old tightly wined up doll. Lets all do her a favor and vote off so she can go back to Alaska and do that new show her mom have coming out about Alaska, someone give me a break, one Palin a year is all I can handle.
