Lady Elaine Fairchilde
One of my idols = MR ROGERS
I was thinking about Mr. Rogers the other day. I wish more talk shows would cover his dramatic impact on the world. I was born in a divorced family at a time when being in a divorced family was frowned upon. I was different in a town were different was horrible. And Mr. Rogers helped. Wow!

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE ATTACHED LINK - There is a clip from my favorite Mr. Rogers ever - with the boy in the wheel chair. It still makes me cry!
Lady Elaine Fairchilde, the outspoken, cranky schemer who took over the Museum-Go-Round after the Froggs moved; oft known to say "Okay, toots." She is generally the villain when a storyline calls for one, but her neighbors are quick to forgive her because they understand her so well. It is discerned during the series that she has low self-esteem and is extremely self-conscious, and because of this, her neighbors are extremely patient with her until she finally learns her lesson. Despite her own faults, she consistently shows King Friday when he is wrong about something and frequently goes to extremes (such as physically moving her museum or modifying a comet) to do so.
Truly the greatest man on television:

365 - Day Two - The year of rosie...
Rosie Vs. Trump
The clear winner here is Rosie - and I am completely over the Donald. I think there is a small group of over inflated celebrities like Donald, Regis, Paris Hilton who are famous for being famous.
Donald trump can go suck it! His latest accusation is that The Views ratings are bad due to Rosie O'Donnell and that her own talk show's ratings were down and that they fired her.
The truth is that it's Trump's ratings that truly suck ass!!!
Case in point - here are The Apprentice's ratings:
| Season | Timeslot | Season Premiere | Season Finale | TV Season | Ranking | Viewers (in millions) | Finale Viewers (in millions) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Thursday 9:00PM | January 8, 2004 | April 15, 2004 | 2003-2004 | #7 | 20.70 [1] | 28.05 [2] |
| 2nd | Thursday 9:00PM | September 9, 2004 | December 16, 2004 | 2004-2005 | #11 | 16.14 [3] | 16.93 [4] |
| 3rd | Thursday 9:00PM | January 20, 2005 | May 19, 2005 | 2004-2005 | #15 | 13.96 [3] | 14.02 [5] |
| 4th | Thursday 9:00PM | September 22, 2005 | December 15, 2005 | 2005-2006 | #38 | 11.01 [6] | 12.81[7] |
| 5th | Monday 9:00PM | February 27, 2006 | June 5, 2006 | 2005-2006 | #51 | 9.73 [6] | 11.25 [8] |
| 6th | Sunday 9:00PM | January 7, 2007 | [[]], 2007 | 2006-2007 |
As for the Views Ratings: According to David Bauder of the Associated Press,
Walters envisioned a show with irreverent, back-porch chatter for women when she invented it a decade ago. This year's departure of current "Today" co-host Meredith Vieira, usually the moderator of the day's discussions, led Walters to seek out O'Donnell.
"It always had an edge to it, but not a cutting edge," said Bill Carroll, an expert in television syndication for Katz Television. "Rosie brings a cutting edge to the show."
She also brought renewed attention, rare for any program in its 10th season. The show's typical audience of 3.3 million so far this season is up 13 percent over the same period in 2005, according to Nielsen Media Research. "The View," shown on ABC stations, is co-owned by Walters and ABC, which is owned by the Walt Disney Co.
And Rosie's Ratings, I couldn't find specific ratings information for the rosie o'donnell show - but as for her ratings slide, Ratings have slid for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," as they have for most talk shows, because there's more competition in daytime TV, said Bill Carroll of the Katz Television Group.
"The audience has accepted her and I think they will be accepting of any choice she makes," he said.
IN FACT - Donald himself benefited from Rosie's contribution to boosting NYC's economy by promoting, successfully, Broadway Theater to the average American. She also contributed to the successful television airing of the 1997 Tony Awards. According to the June 3, 1997, NY Times, Nielsen rating for CBS portion of Tony Awards broadcast jumped about 35 percent from 1996, to 11.2 rating and 17 share in 37 major markets; PBS, which took part in Tonys for first time, doubled its usual market share in New York City for time period; League of American Theaters and Producers credits role of Rosie O'Donnell as host, move to Radio City Music Hall and PBS participation for attracting wider audience; awards sharply boost ticket sales of winners.So DONALD maybe you should spend more money on better hair and stop wasting america's time. Because in fact you are the liar not her.
Pat Robertson's Insane
Pat Robertson is mentally ill. I love how god speaks to him in special ways. Who believes him? I mean, who actually thinks this is man is telling the truth. It's so bizarre.
It really makes me so angry that this even gets attention. The fact that cnn covered this story. I think we live in an alternate universe. I would love to know how much money was spent on covering this story. How much man power was connected? Couldn't these people have spent there time and energy doing something more constructive with their time? Couldn't they have educated the country about Ford instead of this nut job? All I have consistently heard is the Ford was an eagle scout. I mean who cares about. Is that this man's one consistant contribution to the world? That he was an eagle scout.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhh
