Hola!

I was planning on writing a political blog from the point of view of a born in a red state, moved to a blue state position. I live in Brooklyn with my husband, baby girl and awesome cocker spaniel and digging through this very serious rift in our country has been a non-stop activity of mine for the last five years. After all I have family in the red states, as well as friends as most blue staters do. And as the family trips home seem to amplify the differences between Oklahoma and New York, I can't help but think that as someone who was raised on a farm and now lives in the biggest city in the U.S., I should be able to figure out just what went wrong.

But as I started this blog, I realized that I'm much more fascinated with "The View" these days. Sure I'm confounded when I go to a family BBQ and someone says, "Well you know the only reason New York got involved in the Civil War was for the money," then visit my ultra-liberal San Fran in-laws who are super proud that they have the only U.S. Representative that voted against the war in Afghanistan. But the awkward summer of no Meredith, followed by the savior Rosie, followed by the tragedy that is Rosie, is really a lot more fascinating to me at this moment.

So instead of blogging in public about my theories, ideas for reparations and just general "How did THAT happen?" essays, I'm going to instead chronicle those wacky ladies of 'The View' because quite honestly I can't believe what's happening there.
