Trash “I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’m absolutely sure who holds the future.”

Posted by DAN SAVAGE on June 27 at 16:02 PM

This has to be seen—Star Jones announces that she is leaving The View, and her co-hosts pretend that 1. it’s a shock and 2. that they aren’t 100% thrilled to see her go. Star talked it over with Jesus, you see, and since the show is “moving in another direction for its 10th season” (read: all dykey and shit), so is Star. There hasn’t been a more horrifying ten minutes of television since Bush kept reading My Pet Goat on the morning of 9/11. Yeesh.

This isn't as funny as Britney Spears's interview with Matt Lauer. Although it did, briefly, make me hate the entire female gender for just a second -- as does THE VIEW every time I see a snippet of it. Don't worry, I get over it quickly.

that last comparison wasn't fair. there will never be anything more horrifying than W on 911 "protecting the children."

"I just want to know...whose shoes I'm going to covet now?"

"Who am I going to fight with??"

The skinny bitch will be missed.

I consider myself a Christian (Don't worry - I don't have a victim complex, so I won't bore you with stories about my supposed persecution. And I won't try to convert anybody) but this whole who-can-outjesus-jesus stuff is so gross.

Religion is, to me, an intensely private thing. And something to not take lightly. I would never pray to God for guidance on something as stupid as whether I should stay on a TV show or not. And if I did, I sure wouldn't tell people about it. That's just tacky.

I just roll my eyes whenever I hear people talking about stuff like this.
