On the Rosie vs. Donald spat...

I don't have a TV. I don't normally watch TV. There are many better things to do in the evenings than to slouch on the couch, and let your brain die slowly.

But once in a while, there are things on TV that could be interesting. Like this spat between Rosie and Donald Trump. Luckily, moments like this, there's YouTube. So, I watched that short slurp Rosie did. She really was quite funny, and I would venture to say that, what she said captures the essence of most ordinary janes (or joes) would think of Donald Trump. Not that there're that many people care about who's wearing the crown of Miss USA or whatever. It's so vain anyways. For that matter, the response of Trump was so lame, it's laughable.

And then there was the argument of being rich between Rosie and Barbara Walters. I guess if anyone's in Walters' shoes, s/he probably would view it as personal attack (or typecasting). I really would think Walters should just take it as a joke. Yeah, sure, Rosie has a big mouth, and her opinion will probably trample on most everyone, just for the laugh and fun of it. But if anyone takes a joke too seriously, s/he really shouldn't be on live TV.

It's funny watching these supposedly grown-ups who act like kids in a school yard.
