The world has gone mad, again
On her first morning as new host of The View, Whoopi Goldberg defended Vick and his dog fighting/murdering ways as social and cultural difference. Oh for goodness sake. Sure I realize she's got a forum to beat the band, now, and who can blame her for using it. And ABC probably suggested she stir up a little trouble since it's good for ratings. But check this out and see what you think. Now I'm the one feeling like my friend who railed at me when they thought I was sounding tolerant of bathroom solicitation. I cannot see even one glimmer of gray when it comes to drowning and strangling a living animal. Can you? How exactly can that be considered "sport" by anyone other than a sadist? And even if you give leeway for one, under the "group psychology" cloud concept, don't you notice what you've done after you've killed four or five? And if your employer says quit it and the press begins saying you're a murdering brute, shouldn't you pause and consider what you're doing - even if you think the behavior is ok in some godforsaken part of this varied and sometimes strange country of ours? Whoopi has a long record of attacking like a hunting bloodhound when she thinks social injustice has been committed. Does she only care about when people of a certain type are the victim?? I just don't see how she can possibly justify anything about Vick's behavior.

So the deal is that The View swapped Rosie the 9/11 conspiracy theorist for Whoopi the dog murderer apologist. Yup, that sure was a good trade all right.

Rosie and Whoopi are two peas in the pod of the not too bright variety who can never see that their simplistic views might be wrong which is obviously what the producers have built the show around. Might as well complain that the weather is cold when it's snowing. Do you find also that they are both very unlikeable?

I think there is a sign on the studio door, "Comediennes Must Leave Their Brains at the Desk." Goldberg obviously doesn't know didley about the South. Living in the South the first 46 years of my life I never know anyone who raised dogs for fighting.

You might hear stories but any real dogfighting was few and far between. Now, moonshine I could get easily!
