9. I'm no fan of Donald Trump and haven't been on his side during the feud, but I think he is right about one thing. She is very self destructive.

10. There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coocoo".

Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodby to you.

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

So long, farewell, Au'voir, auf wiedersehen,
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye,
Good bye

I'm glad to go,
I cannot tell a lie.
I flit, I float,
I fleetly flee, I fly.

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye!

13. The show is going to suffer now. Exactly who is Elizabeth Hasselbeck? What did she do besides appear on "Survivor?"

14. I knew she wasn't coming back. Rosie came to that show and did her thang. She gave the view a view. I never thought of her as being articulate but the show proved that she is well spoken and well informed. Though I think she is acting like a child not wanting to come back after the disagreement (like a kid who doesn't ever want to go back to school because they fell in front of the whole cafeteria) Isn't the show about different people with different views. DUH!
