Mar 2013

I guess I also had kind of forgotten about it. I haven't watched it in years. And, didn't watch it often back when it was on my radar.

They'd have to change a lot more than Elisabeth. I can't say any of them really resonated with me. I liked the idea of the show, more than the show.

Oh, well. Another filthy rich individual just found some extra time on her hands. I guess the others (also lacking for nothing financially speaking) will have to find another pet conservative to fill the void. I can't say I'd shed a tear of any of them decided to exit. But, I'm not a follower of the show.

I would prefer a show that found 4 or 5 average people from around the US or the World and ask them their opinion on current events, honestly. Truly. Just grab a random group of 4 or 5, give them the power of the television screen. Pay them handsomely for that day. And, then send them on their way. I wouldn't want a moderator, either.

That's the point of view I'm interested in.
