If Rosie doesn’t want to use punctuation – so what? It’s part of her “persona”. It’s intentional. It’s also her blog and she can do whatever she wants.

So can I. And what I want to do is mock her for her awful writing.

It's part of her "persona". It's intentional. It's also her blog and she can do whatever she wants. There are consequences - it might annoy some and they'll go away - but, their hers to worry about and consider. I'm also really disappointed in Barbara Walters. It's sad that she doesn't see Rosie's blog as the asset it could be. It's that "command and control" management attitude - and that's so 1980! :-) If Rosie doesn’t want to use punctuation – so what?

Babs is definately Rosie's new mom and new work and like most employers clearly doesn't know the first thing about what a blog is and how it can add to the transparency and buzz that will keep The View a talked-about (aka $ucce$$ful) show about gossip. rule #25 25. dont use your real name. dont write about your work unless you dont care about getting fired. as much as i used to hate Rosie during her VH-1 days, and like her during the first year of her "Rosie" talk show, and then hate her again after that, i warmed up to her after seeing her HBO special about the gay/lesbian family ocean cruise. and i respect her for doing her own thing on her blog. its very rare for even a non-celeb to write about their real feelings in their own blog - and i dont know of any other celeb on a major network show who blogs other than <a href="http://6767.com/" rel="nofollow">Dave Navarro</a> (Rockstar: Supernova). so props to her, but if Rosie cant educate Barbara on how good for the show Rosie's blog can be for the show, she should obey her boss, no matter how hard it is to bite one's tongue. if Rosie is smart, any time she has the urge to dish about working on the trainwreck that is the View, she should, instead of hitting publish in her blog, hit Save in Word and on the day she's fired go to a book publisher and get that book sold pronto. and the best part about it for Rosie is, the book will already be done. rule number 5 of “how to blog”
