What About My Efforts?!

I did something today that I normally never do. And now.... I will probably never do again. I watched The View. I am not a big fan of this show, but when I turned the channel Rosie and some other girl were in a full on battle over opinions vs. facts. Rosie was trying to keep her cool, but this other girl was ready to cry. It all started when Rosie made some comment about the war and something was said about our soldiers being terrorists. (As a disclaimer, I am not agreeing or disagreeing with any views or opinions expressed in the description of the show.) So this other girl got really mad. Or at least I think that's what happened. Anyway... the other people on the show were trying to cut to commercial and nobody would. It was very uncomfortable to watch. Rosie was just giving in and telling this other girl that she can voice her Republican beliefs based on emotions all she wanted and Rosie would keep with the facts. I was starting to worry that things were gonna get ugly. Finally, a cut to commercial. They must have agreed to disagree during that time, because when they came back, they had Alicia Silverstone to interview. Finally, something less stressful. But I was wrong. Alicia goes on to tell us how she is a better person than the rest of the world because she is vegan. Ooohhhh... good for you Alicia. She doesn't eat any animal products at all. No eggs, milk, meat. What's for dinner? Lettuce dipped in water? Anyway, then she says that she doesn't wear any animal stuff either. Well, when I can afford to buy clothes that are not made out of cotton, I will do that too Alicia. She acts all caring and innocent but she gives off this vibe that she is better than everyone. No way. I won't have it. So she tells us that she is also promoting wind energy. Good for her, I'm all for that. But don't expect me to be proud of you because you are leading the fight to save the world. That's it. She just expects people to applaud her efforts. Well, I'm not. Finally, she talks about her marriage. She didn't want to get married because it is so traditional. And Rosie said, then why did you do it. And she had the balls to respond... because he asked me! Are you kidding me? Then she explains how they had a non-traditional wedding and they were barefoot the whole time and blah blah blah. Go home and look in the mirror Alicia. You're a human! Quit trying to be someone you're not. If I had the chance to meet Alicia Silverstone, I would tie her down and force a steak down her throat.
