Rosie's View on Christopher Walken

The word from the AP is that Rosie O'Donnell is scheduled to take the place of Meredith Vieira's spot on the mega-hit "The View" alongside the other powerhouses of Joy Behar and Star Jones Reynolds. That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's Rosie time!

Wow. I can't wait to see the Saturday Night Live skits that are forthcoming if this comes to pass. Too funny. I placed my bets when the whole Katie Couric & Meredith Vieira shake-up came down the pike that Vieira would come out the best. I'm willing to stake my money on that still. I just don't see Couric holding down Dan Rather's desk all too well. I still have Connie Chung nightmares.

Speaking of nightmares, has anyone seen that movie Communion? It's about a guy that gets visted throughout his life by aliens, you know, the ones with the giant head and giant eyes. It was based on some book that some guy wrote that had a picture of one of those things on the cover. When I was little, my mother had that damn book. It gave me nightmares.

Then I caught that movie. Sure, it's about aliens with big eyes and big heads, enough to stir up old, repressed memories. Then it stars Christopher Walken. Great. Now I've got these images of Walken sitting a chair at night, window open, curtains blowing gently in the wind, with that alien sticking his head around a dresser. Are you kidding me? Maybe there are things scarier that "The View."
