I'm just fuming about what you know who had to say, and a couple of regulars on the View stood up for him.

Looks like the women on the view were handling it well 
I just watched the video with Whoopi's comments.
Whoopi Goldberg always has her boots on
I usually don't watch the view, but from what little I've seen, they usually call it the way it is.
Glenn Beck has questionable views to me so I don't pay attention to him.
Not trying to be mean, just not interested.

Today, I walked in the rain. Haven't walked in the rain in years.
Sang out loud - didn't give a crap who heard me.
It was great.

Ya better watch out M&M, the happy police will getcha
I qualify for that before my morning coffee :shock:
When someone is too happy, I just want to slap them
I grumble like a cave woman and look like one too.
After my first cup of coffee, I turn into Angelina Jolie. ;-)
I love the rain and storms, especially strong ones.
Sounds like from reading your posts you might have had a bit of a tumble lately- hope the road gets better for you.:bicycle:
The Law of Polarity and the Japan Disaster:
The Law of Polarity states that everything has an equal opposite. You cannot have an up without a down, an inside of a room without an outside of a room, a front of you without a back of you. More important......you cannot have a bad without a good.
To me, as I am sure with all of you, things look very bad in Japan right now. There are entire communities wiped out. There are nuclear power plants melting down, and there is debris and destruction almost everywhere. It is very easy to only focus on these horrible things, right?
Let's all take a step back and ask ourselves the question......"What's good about it?" and remember, the Universal Laws work the same all the time. What has happened in Japan, at least to me, looks very bad. I also know there has to be very much good in the situation. All I must do is find it. Instead of focusing on how horrible this all makes me feel, I should look for the good, find it and focus on it.
As I continue to sit here and think about "what's good" already some things come to mind. I have seen an outpouring of help being offered to the people of Japan. One of the first search and rescue teams on the ground was a team from New Zealand which is still recovering from its own earthquake. On the news feeds I have seen neighbors helping neighbors and sharing instead of hoarding and complaining about why nobody is helping them.
I cannot help but believe the world will come out of this with new and better ways to generate and store nuclear energy. This may even stir the creative juices into high gear to create better fuel and energy alternatives which won't harm the environment when Mother Nature flexes her muscles. Maybe we could even harness the energy generated from events like these, store it and use it to our benefit. I also believe this event will lead to improved warning systems for earthquakes and tsunami's in the future. This list can go on and on.
The only limits to our imaginations are those we impose on ourselves.
I challenge each of you today to stop feeling down and depressed about what has happen. Yes, have compassion and love for the people and what they are going through. Also ask yourselves, "What is good about it and what can I do to help?" If you open yourself up for the answer you will be surprised at what you hear (that little nudge inside from the Universe). Take action on that nudge! You will be so glad you did.

That doesn't sound like an optimistic view of things nor do I buy into it. If I understand what you're saying, when something good happens, and society makes forward progress, we can anxiously await a major setback. So then tell me, since major disaster was averted in the gulf oil spill (up), what terrible tragedy awaits us (down)?

I like this a lot and have similar thoughts. We really shouldn't dismiss our sadness or sympathy - we need to feel these real emotions, but we can start to move away from the sadness, get involved, and look for the goodness (people helping people) and hope for some very meaningful outcomes.
I appreciate what you say, and the context in which you put it. It depends on how mad Mother Nature is as to whether man can stop her. Sometimes she is more gracious than at other times. She was definitely furious about something in Japan.
